Re: What is your "Dream Exhaust System". (Poll)
pdx,
I maybe wrong, but actually I thought I heard the ball socket flange was less likely to leak. That do to the design of the flange and the way it fits together, it seals itself. Where a regular flat flange setup is dependent on a gasket, and how many points on the flange are secured (ie. 2 bolt points, more area to possibly leak. 4 bolt points, less area to possibly leak)

From a quick Google search it appears you're right.

Re: What is your "Dream Exhaust System". (Poll)
Well, we shall see which will be better. I might be buying headers too soon and if so, it will probably be the ones that work the best for the cheapest price.
If OBX are DynaTech copies (which alot of times I think OBX are copies of other well working headers. ie for M3 I think OBX or JVT copied the SuperSprint headers) I will go with them.

Re: What is your "Dream Exhaust System". (Poll)
OBX ARE in fact copies of more expensive headers. When I had my 06 GTO OBX had basically full copies of Kooks which were thousands of dollars. From what I've heard is the vette crews have had great success with OBX. If the vette guys are running them without issue they'll work on an H2. There were also a handfull of GTO guys running them also without issue.

Dynatech Long Tube Headers, straight pipe all the way back. Not really that loud IMO and even the wifey believes it fits the Hummer personality better.

Re: What is your "Dream Exhaust System". (Poll)
Just got done doing Dynatech longtube headers, ceramic coated, Dynatech high flow cats, and through my Magnaflow muffler on there from my set up before. Sounds good, runs good, I like it. I'm not sure it sounds that drastic of a difference from the stock setup at all really, but does help with performance. Already running a CAI and chip too, so maybe that is why the changes are not as drastic, but power increases are felt.
