Default help me with my exhaust

Currently I have true dual straight pipes with cats and I'm trying to mellow it down just a tad, mainly the clapping/slapping noise it puts out, I'm looking at either flowmaster series 10a, cherry bomb extremes, our a strait through style like a magna flow bullet or more traditional glass pack. What I'm wondering is which choice would yield the best aggressive sound, power, and preferably a little gas millage increase too, any opinions/suggestions or anything I might have looked over? Any help would be great thanks.

Go with a Magnaflow, flowmasters flow about the same as stock. They sound good but do not offer a performance upgrade.

Do those bullets offer any real gain? From what I could tell they kinda just looked like fancy glass packs

Glass packs have a raspy sound to them where as all the magnaflows I have ever heard sound good. I have a magnaflow setup but I actually have two magnaflow bullets then it goes into a large case magnaflow. I have LT's and off road mid pipes and thats what it took to keep the sound tolerable.

Is there any gain from the bullets, either mpg or power?
