Default How will this sound?

Long Tubes Headers (Pypes) with o/r xpipe (Pypes) into Magnaflow Magnapack axleback...then having the FRPP HotRod Cams?

I also have the ability to get the o/r h-pipe instead of the X which would sound and performace best with the cams?

Thanks

Only reason I ask is I've already spent over $500 on exhaust and didn't like the outcome so this is my second time around and want to make sure I get it right!

IMO, Magnapacks never sound good.

Would the MAC axleback be a better choice? Might just bite the bullet and get the BORLA Stingers...

fyi i allready went the borla route and they werent loud enough for me and the drone was a little anoying, so i put on a bassani o/r x pipe and my god it sounded like ****, i was almost embarrased to drive my car around it was so raspy sounded like a 80's f150 with 1 1/2 in strait pipes lol, soo i sold the x pipe and borlas on ebay and went with the corsa's, and i love them imo the best sounding mufflers u can buy but a little pricey

I didnt even know pypes made headers?? sure hope they are better qauity then the rest of there products.....

MM sounds awsome with a x or h pipe but fit sucks but thats a easy fix but headers I wouldnt play around with poor fit IMO.

I trust Brenspeed's word and I was told (over the phone) they are identical to Kook Longtubes...they had installed them on a couple cars with GREAT fitment! Apparently Pypes finally made something right...Believe I'll go with the MAC axleback, are they a chambered muffler? If so I will probably go for the o/r h instead of the o/r x...
