Cool Thoughts on possible exhaust setup

I am planning my exhaust right now and was wondering what all of you guys opinions are on this setup

BBK(idk about BBK anymore now that i have done more reading n see that their intakes arent that great so idk if their exhausts are that good either) Long tubes and O/R H-pipe and an SLP LoudMouth Catback because I have always loved the way they have sounded on the Mustangs that i have seen that had them

I have BBK longtubes, o/r x pipes and Magnaflow catbacks. They have an aggressive sound but not off the top like SSP Loudmouths. I definitely recommend the longtubes. Your choice on midpipes. X pipe sounds raspy while H pipes have the traditional muscle car sound and your choice on mufflers.

+1 BBK quality is great, probably the best you're going to find for the money.

I have MAC LT's to a MAC all the way back and I think it sounds really good.

the good thing about bbk stuff is it has ball and socket flanges which means if you gotta pull the h-pipe for any reason itll seal right back up unlike those damn collectors that use gaskets that i fight with all the time. the header flanges are nice and thick again keeps leaks at bay. ive had bbk stuff before and the h-pipe had some minor fitment issues but nothing serious. all in all pretty good stuff.

thanks for all the comments guys it looks like im gonna stick to my original plan

and of course im forking out the extra cash for the ceramic headers because i know how good that stuff is and i know what happens to chrome when it has been on a header for awhile
