I like the roof mounted 50cal ldea. Barrett would be good also.No I think a 120mm would be better with canister round.Then a 155mm makes a bigger boom.

All in all the LG's with no cats and your cat back would I think be the loudest u can get

My set up is exactly like that..LG's,no cats and I have Corsa Pace and it is loud. Although I'm actually thinking (real hard!)to put on Stingers. Want a deeper rumble. But I've been getting all kinds of crazy compliments about how great it sounds right now!. I even had one guy slow me down on a parkway so he could tell me and ask where I got the work done!
