Uhh... You post off road mid pipes and then MAC cats. Do you mean cat-back?

As far as loudest, H-pipe is louder. The LT's, h pipe and catback would be an awesome sound. Cam it and you'll sound as close as you can to a V8 (although never exactly like one).

If you're going long tubes, I recomend using a MAC mid-pipe, just to avoid any possible fitment issues. I say MAC cause they're the only ones that make LT's for a sixer.

I do suggest a Borla GT cat-back, though. Borla sounds AWESOME, but it's really expensive.

You know you can buy tips anywhere. And Borla tips are nicer anyway.
