The word is indeed that angled flange turbo outlet flows the best which is consistent with what you'd expect by looking at them all side by side. I haven't messed with them myself just telling you what i've read. I don't know that you get more hp but you might get less boost spike due to reduced back pressure. I would expect you need a tune matched to get the absolute most out of the turbo outlet type. Conical I would get rid of if you can but your car should have a straight flanged outlet. It's probably not a big return on investment to go to angled if you're already set up with straight. On the other hand if you're getting a downpipe and are obsessed with doing it right then why not go with angled flange outlet and then tune it to match.
