Default what exhaust is louder with headers

right now i have borla and when i get MAC headers and a ORP, how much louder will it be than what i have right now, which is the Borla wide open, and the cat replacement off road pipes??

also, does the Borla sound better with the headers or does the Loudmouth? heard the loudmouth doesnt sound that great with no cats, but i like that sound haha...

thanks for the input

Borla sounds more tuned, but either way, it will be badass.
