Your best bet is this. Headers w/ 2.5 inch pipe. Resonator with forward facing baffles, and downsize the exhaust at the muffler from 2.5 to 2.25 to quell down on the droning that an aftermarket exhaust on an atx is good for. You'll still make good power, but you'll retain your midrange power and it won't be annoying at highway speeds.
