I would stay away from the Xpipe. Hpipes sound so much better. And all the stainless systems sound pretty much the same. I really think the welded aluminum mufflers sound do much better on a mustang. Just my opinion.

Welded aluminum mufflers. Flomaster, Mac, dyno max, etc. full welded aluminum construction. Some steel mufflers are folded or seamed. I just think the aluminum mufflers have a much nicer tone than the high pitch of stainless steel.

Here's some good comparison clips I found. The Bassani are really high pitched. I still think the Mac sound the best. SLP ain't bad either.

Unless there are a lot of Shelby's around with aftermarket exhaust, it'll be hard to make a decision. I can't tell from youtube vids. You could get an idea by listening to Mustang GT's, but my FRPP Stingers sounded a little different on my GT than they do on my GT500.

I have lethal's midpipes with race cats that are now hollowed (off road) and basanni race axle back. Super loud. Sounds awesome full throttle but 120 db. Drone at 1900ish rpms.

No, not yet. Just bought the car in August, so I haven't done much to it yet. I know I won't do an X pipe, though. Too raspy sounding for my taste. If I do one it'll be an H. I actually love the sound of my car just like it is. I know if I get rid of the cats it'll be louder than I like.

I had a buddy who had them on a 2003 GT & I thought they sounded great. Of course, totally different setup on that car with mufflers in front of the axles. They did sound off nicely though.
