Found this video. This might give you an idea of what to go for.

I think that sounds great! Wonder what it would sound like with an o/r x?

Tons of videos to look at. With just an hpipe and flow masters (no cats) it was loud so I have since installed cats.

Here is a video of my car with Kooks everything.. long tubes, catless x pipe and cat back. This should give you a good idea what it sounds like. Hope it helps!

get the thermal or ceramic coating, its better for looks and for temps.
go with the o/r mid pipe if you like loud.
and go with the LT's too. you might as well do the whole thing at once.
if it is too loud, you can tone it down with a different axle back.
