Default exhaust and tint?

i have a 99 mustang gt auto and i have slp loudmouth 1's on it and i want to get a slp x pipe with high flow cats. i was wondering if anyone could tell me if that would b the best combo or is there anything better to make it louder. i have to have cats on it. also i plan on tinting my windows and i heard that it isnt a good idea to tint the rear window cause of the defroster on the window. is this true? any suggestions would be great.

If you tinted the sides and not the rear it would look retarted! Also there are no issues with tinting the rear window. 1000's of Mustangs have it done!

Yeah you'll be good with the tint. I have the SLP X-pipe with cats, and Spin Tech supper pro streets it's pretty loud, but I think the loudmouth 1 is louder.

Yes it would but don't go any bigger than 70mm for the TB. CAI is up to you there all about the same, but get one that goes in the inner fender not under the hood.
