I thought about it. I know the SLP Loudmouth pipes are basically straight pipes at $600. 
However, I would want the big cam lope with them, otherwise I think it would sound like ****.
Just MHO....

My exhaust is pretty close to straight pipes. I have LG Street headers with no cats going to the stock mufflers which have bypass lines installed on them. It sounds awesome at WOT, but fairly tame at idle.
It's not too loud on the highway either. I am happy with it. It does sound really strange though at times during high RPM deceleration.

Straight pipes are going to make it sound like a stock car. 
I have LG longtubes, x-pipe, no cats, and Corsa Pace Cars. Just for the hell of it one day I took off the Corsas to hear it with straight pipes all the way back. Its A LOT louder. 
: The videos are from a digital camera so the quality is not that great but you get the idea. First one is with the Corsas, second one is without them.
