Default Good exhaust set up for the New Edge V6's?

i want my car to sound loud..
I currently have MAC dualexhaust conversion kit. Basically stock headers and Y pipe. It cuts the Y pipe into two for a dual look. Anyway this is what I want

MAC O/R H-Pipe
MAC Longtube Headers

Would these 2 work on my MAC Dual Exhaust? Id probably have to use flowtubes to modify it...but any suggestions? Am i missing something? Do i just need the LT and H-Pipe?
Thanks

The Mac LT and mid pipe is designed to work with any GT cat back setup.

You could probably find some for cheap if you don't want to hassle with making your current setup match up

What do you recommend?

Would the GT catback work? I have the V6 bumper with no dual cut outs...
Would the MAC dual exhaust conversion kit not work with these?

I use the set up you are wanting. I have a pre cut rear bumper though.

Would it make a difference?

By the way what did you do to get the LT's and off road H pipe with your MAC Catback? Did you use flow tubes?

The Mac dual conversions tailpipes should work. Call MAC to confirm though.

The GT rear with cutouts doesn't do anything except move the tips up into the bumper instead of under neath it. Giving it a cleaner, factory look.

Came on it when I got it. Full setup.
As for the bumper its just a look. If you have one without them and want them you can simply use a Dremel on it.

Far as I can remember...haven't looked in over a year...no flow tubes. Headers to H to pipes to muffler. No cats.

I called American Muscle, and correct me if I'm wrong, but they told me the Dual Exhaust Conversion Kit won't work with the offroad V6 H-Pipe and V6 Longtube Headers

Did I miss something? I thought these would work...
http://www.americanmuscle.com/mac-or...pe-9904v6.html
http://www.americanmuscle.com/mac-ce...be-9900v6.html

With the dual exhaust conversion kit? The H-Pipe and Longtubes are specifically for the V6's, not the V8's...so why do I exactly need a GT Catback?

Anyone can help me out here?

EDIT:
If I need a GT Catback will they fit the V6's?

Would this work or do I need the pace adapter?

The Mac lt and o/r h-pipe are designed to work with the GT cat back systems.

You can just grab a stock gt takeoff exhaust for under $100 also. That's what I'm running on my car.

The conversion system they offer is to be used in the following setup. Use the factory y pipe, cut the y pipe after the cats, weld conversion system in place, bolt up GT catback system.

The o/r h pipe replaces your factory y pipe, hence no conversion pipe needed.
