Of those listed I would either get bassani or if I was going to be cost efficient then mac. Don't really know anyone who has had borla or hooker. As far as midpipe it kinda depends on the sound you are looking for. With the bassani I would probably get their offroad x pipe and with the mac I would get the offroad prochamber.

I have read good things about bassani but I like any LT that is made of 304 SS and polished. ARH and kooks I believe offer that as well as others but its JMO so..... its up to you!

I would do the high flow CATS but thats just me! IT will be louder regardless but w/out the CATS its insane and many dont like the sound from what I have read on the forum.

i vote for Mac LT's and Mac o/r prochamber to go along w/ the boomtubes. they will be loud at WOT, and a low rumble w/ the o/r prochamber. or if you want a bit of a screamer at WOT like mine then get LT's and o/r x-pipe. here's what mine sounds like:

the o/r h-pipe will be louder than the prochamber, but IMO the prochamber will be a more pleasing low tone. now choose wisely, fellow boomtuber.

Not too much but they make a different sound than the stock manifolds we have from the factory. The LT's and high flow CATS should yeild about 15-25 RWHP depending on many factors. Not much torque because the LT's will change the backpressure. You will need a tune to get the most from the exhaust changes. Actually just LT's can throw a code if not installed and tuned properly.

Well its either going to be Mac Longtubes with the off/road prochamber or the Bassani Longtubes with High/Flow Catted X-Pipe. I dont know which one to go with. I noticed that the Mac Longtubes are only like $467 does that mean that there not that good since there so cheap compared to other brands? There Ceramic coated where as the Bassani are Stainless Steel and alot more money.
