Default Kooks + which combo

I am currently running Kooks headers with there Y pipe and carsound cats, with a loudmouth catback. I love the combination but its just a little too much drone at certain rpm's and I'm looking for a different sound.

I was thinking about dumping the cats and going with an off road y pipe along with a magnaflow catback. I am also gonna be adding a cam in the very near future.

How will this setup sound compared to what I have now? Louder - Quiter? More power? Less power? Thanks for all the replies

Going from a Loudmouth to a Magneflow will definately quiet it up. I like my set up which is pretty quiet at idle and cruising but gets aggressive at higher rpms.

Borla, pfff not worth the money, no offense. If I were to spend the much, the GMMG inc. system would be my choice no questions asked. I'm hoping that when I recieve my KOOKs headers, they will sound pretty bad *** with the Hooker CB. I'll have cats though, so it shouldn't be too loud. Anything will will be quieter than the Loudmouth. You probably wont gain anything since the loudmouth flows the highest, but you'll have more of a "tuned" muscular exhaust sound with another CB. I say go for GMMG if you have the $$$(post sound clips if you do!), Hooker, or Random Technology's system.
