I'm not sure where you live in FL but, going with any of those setups I sure hope you live serously out in the sticks.
I ran the LG's w/o cats with my Borla stingers and it was so loud I was having cops trail me all over town. That got old really fast and the constant inability to mash the throttle for fear of drawing in the police and the obnoxious fuel smell sitting at stop lights forced me to add the cats.
So all I can say is the Borlas are plenty loud and the staight pipes or the SLP loud mouth would probably be louder. But, you are asking for serious trouble IMO.

Yes, I do but, it's like a 40MB file so it's nearly impossible to post anywhere.

Great project! The LG Long Tubes are awesome. With no cats: the B&B Bullets, Borla Straight Tips and SLP will be LOUD. But, I personally like a more aggressive exhaust note.

I got LG headers with no cats sitting in my garage waiting to be installed. I also have B&B catbacks, so I would imagine with my cam this setup will be quite loud. I'll post up after I get it setup.

Based on my own experience (QTP`s w/Random Tech cats/x-pipe)
my B&B Bullet sounds both deeper and louder than similar equipped cars running Borla Stingers.

Been there done that. Yes, I will agree it does sound good but, you better not have any neighbors or live where there are no cops b/c if you do have police around they will find you from a mile away. My car was way too loud at WOT and I couldn't even mash the gas pedal any more because I would always real in a police officer or scare somebody else on the road almost into crashing their car. It is truly NASCAR loud with that setup.
