Default Catbacks vs Mufflers?

So, currently right now I have a mac catback and mac o/r h and the sound is not really loud enough for me anymore.

I was wondering the best way I can get the loudest setup for me that has the deepest, or the most muscle sound?

From what I have heard, I like the SLP LMII but I am not exactly sure if that is the loudest I can possibly go, or a good way. Also, would I be better attempting to get a new catback system or attempt to have someone weld in some mufflers, just the thing is there aren't that many good welders. Or could a clamp on be ok?

Thanks guys for your help.

If you want the absolute loudest setup possible, get some custom open headers.

If you want to spend money, get some long tubes, o/r X, & LM1's

Where in Iowa do you live? I live in Davenport, around here cops dont say much as long as you have cats on. You could cut the mufflers completly off and get away with it.

cats are needed in states to pass the emissions, some states do not require emissions testing so you can get by without cats, mufflers help muffle the tone in the exhaust system

You already have 3' stainless tips with the Mac. If you got SLP you'll be getting 3.5' stainless tips. I would just have new mufflers put in as opposed to spending 450 bucks buying a whole new catback.
