Exhaust system upgrade options

Looking at the Fabspeed Supercup or Maxflo performance exhaust system to replace OEM parts for my 996.1 C4 manual. Recently got their catalytic converter x-pipe when the OEM cat went out, and I'm certainly happy with the sound and performance. Supercup apparently comes with more of a torque boost but lower hp than the Maxflow, but I believe I'd favor a (lower end) torque boost vs. hp - and with the lower price point on the Supercup. Thoughts on this?
Also, any feedback on performance for keeping OEM tips or not with either or these products?
Thank You

I generally like to stick with OEM tips regardless of the exhaust. Also, I have had both supercups and maxflos on my 996.1 3.4.
super cups were fabulous on the track
but supercups had drone for street driving that I couldn't deal with so I moved to maxflos which was great for street but not so much excitement for track.
Now that I have a 3.8 and the car is pretty much track only I have a Dundon exhaust.

.2 OEM tips look best to me too!

I ended up with the top gear mufflers, good fitment, and sound for the price. I considered getting new tips but they are expensive and used mint ones aren't cheap. I cleaned mine up best I could and straightened them out on reinstall, they were sitting a bit crooked because of the rusted hardware.
