Default Different styles of Skunk2 cat-back?

I've been researching exhaust for a while now and have been searching all over the forum and have not found any info on this.. I have decided to go with the skunk2 megapower cat-back since I have that on my prelude and I'm very pleased with it. But, I was looking on eBay and I found two styles, one with the pipes STRAIGHT out the back (which I can't find anywhere else) and the usual ANGLED. I really want the straight pipes but it is $145 more. If anyone has the straight ones on their S, or knows any info on these please share.

Here are the links:

Straight

Angled

read the fine print from your "straight" link
"Above photos for illustration purposes. It is taken from Skunk2 part 413-05-2030 (04-06 Acura TSX)
Please refer to the description below for application"

I wish they made straight ones for the s2k. IMO they look a lot better.

Tanabe Concept G offers the same style mufflers, but straight.

This is probably a bit quieter than the skunk2 with the smaller pipe and big resonator.

Thanks for the replys guys! And I thought about the Tanabe, but it's hard to pass up the gains for the cost of the skunk2.

The skunk2 delivers as advertised. I did 226 on Evan's Tuning dynapack with just an K&N intake, test pipe and skunk 2. It was one of the best numbers of the dyno day compared to the other mixed bag of exhausts and cars. It also sounds pretty awesome, as long as you can tolerate the volume or insert the silencers.

(Please save the flames about this dyno vs. that dyno. We all understand the number is relative and not absolute. )
