When I thought my exhaust was falling apart (just heat shields for now), I went over to an Integra performance forum and started the discussion.
Basically you have to tune the exhaust to make the most power at the desired RPM range. A free-flow muffler doesn't change the dynamics of the system further upstream. Exhaust diameter, header design, muffler choice...
I might suggest consulting a Volvo performance board for their take on things. Of course high-RPM operation is generally the goal in that application -- so look for something gains on the low-end.
