Help me decide !!

1. Mac L/T's, prochamber, mac axlebacks

2. BBK L/T's, O/R X-Pipe, Boom Tubes

These are the two setups I have narrowed it down to for my 2010 GT, future plans are cams, blower as well. Thanks

for some reason I have never liked mac products. So my vote is for the bbk stuff.

Out of curiosity have you ever heard a setup like Boomtubes, O/R X and longtubes in person?

It's definitely VERY VERY loud, and if you add cam's and a blower eventually it will be insane when the car is under load. What's loud to me is different to others opinion of loud so it can be hard to recommend exhaust to different people, but let's just say I like very loud.

Right now I have a blower, Pype's Pype Bomb's (very similar design to Boomtube's) and a Bassani high flow catted X and it's definitely loud as hell. I have high flow cat's so it's fine when cruising, but on rev's and when you get on it it will wake the dead. The Pype Bomb's and Boomtube's are essentially straight pipes with resonated tips. What sold me on Pype Bomb's was a video with BBK lontubes and high flow catted X, I loved it. When I got the Pype Bomb's and hooked them up to my catted X pipe I can tell you video's do it no justice, it's LOUD. I can't even imagine if I added longtubes.

Unless you have a good set of headphones or speaker setup youtube is difficult to get a feel for just how loud it is in person. When you see the video's of Boomtubes, O/R X and longtubes make sure you crank the volume up even with headphones because that is exactly as it is in person . Any muffler delete with no cats even with stock manifolds will make your ears bleed. A lot of people that do this setup end up welding in mufflers before the rear axle or switching to a axleback with a muffler because they're not prepared for what it sounds like in person.

If your heart is set Boomtube's I'd recommend just doing them first and then adding bit by bit just to see how you like it. If you add it all at once I can guarantee you will **** your pants and if you have children they will run for the hills.

Here's my setup(not my car)

Just the Boomtube's would probably be a better choice in that case. Any muffler delete will still sound awesome and much louder than any mufflered axleback can achieve on the stock H pipe and factory manifolds. Again in person it would sound even better.
