Unless you have money you want to blow for minimal gains, forget the headers.

Any O/R mid pipe will give you what you want. I prefer the rumble of an H pipe, some prefer the raspyness of an X pipe.

If you just want it loud then just change the mid pipe out for a o/r pipe and it will be loud. If you have big plans for motor mods then get a set of long tubes and a o/r pipe, and H pipe FTW.

Long tubes will quiet it down at idle

o/r midpipe pipe and SLP LM1's...Magnapacks...Dynomax Bullets....Glasspacks...SSS Terminators

There is a difference between LOUD/obnoxious and loud but sounds good.

Like already said, leave stock manifolds and any o/r midpipe with your flowmasters. You will be going from having 4 cats to none....be quite a bit louder.

I went from stock H pipe with only front 2 cats and Magnaflow (not magnapack) catback and it sounded good. Switched to a o/r x pipe and got a decent sound gain with no cats. Tonight I'm getting Magnapacks....so will be even louder.

Get an o/r h pipe and you'll be happy. If you're wanting just stupid loud do LTs, o/r mid, and and SLP catback (minus proflow), borla, magnapack. Whatever you want

But like stated earlier there is a difference between GOOD loud and just LOUD.
