my opinion and this is all that it is.....get the o2 sensores nearest the cats as you can otherwise they dont work right.. they dont get hot enough
and as far a flow from your engine the most significant changes you could make would be to the heads and cam.....after you do those 2 thats when the intake manifold an exhaust come into play...where the intake and exhaust really will make a difference
read up on it ...i bet there are more than 10000 articles on performance engine building you could find on the internet
i do like putting aftermarket exhaust on my truck mainly for the sound though...and i do the silly aftermarkets like k&ns underdrive pulleys ...gears would make a big difference though

i have straight piped to a cherrybomb and i have felt more power from when it was stock set up, it was loud at first with the straight pipe but i got used to it after a week it just might be too loud for people who dont drive in it, if you went with the straight pipe would you have to go through any emmisons test, or would you still keep the cat with no muffler? wither way they sound nice

i have heard the Aero Turbine 3030 and they sound way better than any flowmaster, in my opinion, check them out on youtube, they are on the expensive side but its a straight through muffler and will are to flow through easier, but if flowmaster is your choice they sound great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvsgo2HEG00 this is a video of a guy on the first gen forum with the AT3030 on his 5.2
