A) It's not that hard to do by yourself. No welding required.
B) MAC stopped making catted mid-pipes all together, including the ProChamber. In no way, shape or form will a PC ever be louder than a H/X pipe.
C) In regards to one of your other posts, Flowmaster's ARE quieter than MAC Flowpath.
Bottom line, if you want louder then switch to an o/r pipe. Like I stated above, its relatively easy to change it out yourself if you have a least a basic socket set and a jack/jack stands.

But a PC won't be any quiter then say a catted BBK X-Pipe, right?
Heard some clips, not bad but not my style, i pretty much leaning towards a mac h-pipe or pc catted mid-pipe, if i can find either one

Your not going to find a *new* catted PC or h-pipe from MAC, they ran into complications with the supplier that supplies their cats, therefore they only make o/r midpipes now. You can shop for a used one on ebay, but if you find one it would probably be old. MRT is one of the only companies that I know of that makes a catted h-pipe anymore.
Something else you can consider, buying an o/r PC, and then buying some hi-flow cats and having them welded in. But please know that it will be considerably quieter than your current setup, it will sound damn near stock.

A PC will be barely louder than the catted X, even with the PC being o/r.

bottom line, BOTTOM LINE, you're not going to get any louder unless you go catless.
That's pretty much it. If you already have a catted X, you won't be getting it any louder with cats still in place staying with the same mufflers.
