keep in mind, im no expert. with the x-pipe your gonna get more airflow im not sure about HP. but everything i've read on this site when people start talking about the x-pipe is that they have a unique sound. not a bad sound, just differant. i've never heard one before so i cant describe it.

H-Pipe + V6 = ..?

Remember, o/r means no cats. What's the emissions law over there? Also, you could probably lose some back pressure (torque).

Hmmm...

Ever having raspiness/deep rumble together? I'm hoping you're not referring to "raspiness" as "popcorn"...right?

I do not know if my situation is applicable since my car is a 95 GT but I just finished putting on a BBK o/r X-pipe and I have only driven it a bit but with flow masters it is really loud, raspy and I am kind of feeling that I did lose low end torque.

I also have a 96 V6 and I installed true duals with an H-Pipe and Flowmasters. The sound is just right for me on that car.
