What is the right HE & muffler combination for a 3.2?

Looking to change out my stock HEs + cat bypass + stock muffler w/ two out (modified) combination to an aftermarket solution w/ these priorities (engine also has webcam 20/21 w/ SW chip):

1. No drone
2. Torque
3. Weight
4. Heat
5. HP

So far the best combo I researched is a set of SSIs w/ a Magnflow 11385 muffler with 2.25" outlets.

HEs - SSIs will give me the torque - I don't need more power at the top, just hoping to keep what I have now (which according to SW's dyno sheets I should, but I am slightly worried about losing some). Also need the heat. BB would be second, but weigh more and have lousy heat. They also won't give me as much torque. Rarelyl8 optimized for top end, he said he was going to make torque optimized headers but that was two years ago.

Muffler - the Magnaflow is 11 lbs. (muffler only, tubing will be a couple more pounds), has decent power, and with 2.25" outlets should have minimal drone (from my research here). M&K makes me worry about drone (2-out) and power loss, while a M&K 2-1 out would probably be my second choice. Dansk two out would be my third, but they are HEAVY.

My current dyno is below (pretty good - 220 at the wheels or 250ish crank) - you can notice weak torque (relatively) until 4k RPM. This is my main motivator for changing from my current set-up, plus weight. So what do you think? Want to talk me into another combination?

I have SSI'S with a Dansk 2 in 1 out muffler and it feels/sounds great. I'm sure there is dyno evidence somewhere on the forum.I had a magnaflow on an SC and removed it. Way to much drone.

I have never really completely understood anything.

Nuts - see this recent nearby thread. Now I am having second thoughts on the SSIs.

Dyno Results - Gordo's 3.2L

I've been through this a couple times, have considered 993 HEs, B&B, nothing has a clear advantage. Especially when considering bang for the buck.
