I had cats before (all runs previous to encounter with the stang in this race), i dont have cats anymore.
5gs dont really have a "mid pipe" unless you cut into the catback (npp) like phil did, in order to add an "X or H" pipe.
The way the set up goes on my car, is: LTs connected to cat deletes, which connects to the catback.

I really enjoyed my LTs to orx to stock axleback for a long time. It was super quiet for daily duties. Now she a bit loud

Gotcha. I remember looking for exhaust for L99s when I was looking at them and Kooks had full exhaust packages but I've never viewed the exhaust up close and on purpose to know.

Mine is a little quiet for my taste. Expected / wished for louder.

Its not "whatever floats my boat"... Last time I checked, geared heads understood the term "full exhaust" as including the headers portion on the exhaust.
But here, just for you:
Updated mod list.
14' ss: LT headers / Catback / CAI / tune
14' 5.0: Shorty headers / Catback / Boss Manifold / CAI / 4.10s / tune

Because when I spoke to the guy, the only things I knew for certain were "shorty headers" and the catback. I didnt get to ask about an X/H pipe.
I didnt list his as "full exhaust" since I wasnt 100% sure of the status of his cats/mid pipe situation....

As far as the shorty headers, the 5.owner told me that his friend basically sold them to him for very very cheap, so he put them on.
Now there is something I am not clear about, last time I heard, only the s550 5.0s came with a pretty nice design / flow from the factory, like shorties. I am not aware that the same is true for the s197 5.0s.

More gains usually in orx than there is LTs on s197 Coyote.
The stock manifolds on s197 are pretty efficient, but you're right, s550 manifolds appear to flow a hair better.
Either way, the stronger bolt on cars are often running LTs and 3.31 gears from an m6 car with an a6 banging the gear changes

CAI has been my favorite mod. I kid you not. Best part is I bought it for $60 on craigslist. It is a $400 dollar cai, but car dealer was selling it as a trade in take off.

I can agree with this.
Wanna hear a real kicker? The best mod for my car has been the CAI. Imediate seat of the pants improvement. Felt much better than when I did LTs and when I got the chance to tune later and also when I went full exhaust much later.
