Longtube headers and an off-road x pipe. That will be the loudest you will get with full exhaust.

I have the Terminator's with long tubes and a catted h, and it's damn loud!!!

Here is a clip of the Terminators with my catted h (first) and a o/r x (second). The vid does not do it justice at all. It simply does not pick up the deep base and sheer volumn of this setup.

I took the o/r x off, because it was just crazy loud! (think SLP LM 1 loud). It was totally obnoxious, and really raspy and poppy on decel.

Not to say that loud isn't great, but watch what you wish for. I can tell you that when I had an O/R x with my LM1's it was extremely raspy and had a horrible resonance problem. It was annoying to drive. I don't know what the manners are like of the SSS systems, but being that they're a straight thru muffler similiar to the SLP's, I imagine it being pretty similiar. The LTs and an O/R midpipe are the way to go if you want loud, but you might want to consider a chambered muffler for your catback. A single chamber will still be ridiculously loud, but you might avoid some of the noise and tone problems for normal driving conditions.

Just get the headers and o/r x pipe first and then see if you like it. Then change catbacks if necessary.

These mufflers are even louder and and more raspy/poppy with a o/r h, than the o/r x. I don't have any video of the o/r h, but was just insane!!!

IMHO, run a catted h or x with these mufflers unless you want that disgusting poppy/raspy sound.

Well pypes longtubes, which are stainless steel are like 400 from american muscle and then a shorty x/h pipe should be about another $130 or so. And they might also offer a BBK special with the l/t's and shorty midpipe for a certain price.
