I would do LT's High flow cats, and a bassani x pipe and axel backs.

Exhaust. Finish with the Performance mods, then do the visual.

Well, I am going for exhaust.

But please scroll down to where I have to choose between FORD or BBR. I need opinions of which option might work out better.

I'd say go with BBR. Keeping the cats is a good thing, they're there for a reason. Also, I tend not to trust companies that don't know how to spell (personal bias, not based in any way on any reviews/products I've actually used), so them not doing the mid-mufflers (at least not without charging you out the wazoo for it) isn't a big drawback for me. So, that's my call. Most exhausts on cars are bolted all the way through anyway, so that's not a concern for me either. It's easier and cheaper for the manufacturers, and when properly assembled you don't have to worry about leaking or rattles.

That's my call for it.

What Ford does have going for them in this case, is the fact that it's a Ford car, so they SHOULD be more experienced, and know what issues they might have and how to avoid them.

Thanks for the response. It really gave me a better insight into my options.

You spoke very well for the BBR decision but I'm not totally convinced yet. I'm still doing some more research but I could definately use some more input and opinions on the matter.

I'm a bit more than likely to go with BBR, but then that just leaves me with which axle-backs to use.

Or...I might have Ford put in the LTs and BBR put in the pipes and mufflers.
