***YOU CAN SKIP THIS STORY IF YOUD LIKE AND READ THE BOTTOM FOR THE REAL THREAD, THIS IS JUST MY GIANT EXHAUST DILEMMA STORY***
im sooo getting tired of changing exhausts. long story: i bought the saleen last yr [supposed to come with saleen borla catback similar to xr1 style catback] but someone changed to fms shorty headers, fms o/r hpipe, and welded flowmaster 2chambers into the 850 borla c/b and they did a horrible job. so...first thing was changing the rusted fms hpipe to a bbk o/r x and a borla c/b. the borla was SO quiet it was like a stock mustang; later found out saleen had a special saleen-borla c/b. so i find a 98 saleen borla system on ebay for cheaper because it was missing tailpipes...i still had tailpipes so im thinkin great this is perfect. didnt know the 98s and earlier had a xr1 catback custom made and the tailpipes werent gonna line up from a 99 so it didnt fit [still have it tho cause i got ripped by the guy on ebay and he had a friend bid it up so i paid like twice what i wanted to]. so i find a 99 saleen-borla system on eBay...rushed into getting it so fast thinking it was discontinued and the only one left when it showed up i saw it was a damaged one and i hadnt read the disclaimer. so i call borla, give them the story and they tell me they still have a few and they send one out. i put it on, still quiet. the bbk xpipe sounded like ass with it. my brother picked up a 96 cobra with a dr gas xpipe and a borla xr1 catback <--sounds absolutely amazing, which is now exactly what i want my car to sound like. while my motor was out i got bbk longtubes and a short dr gas. now, my car sounds similar however its still quieter by far. so, do i try to weld the xr1s in and ruin my saleen-borla that was like 850 bucks or get a stinger system cause i know then for sure itll be loud?

***CLIFF NOTES: running bbk longtubes, short dr gas off-road xpipe, and a saleen borla catback...not loud enough!***
how do the loudmouth, stinger, and magnapack compare to each other? i cant put cats back on so i dont want it too loud. ive heard two 99s, both running full slp exhaust one had the cats in the other didnt...one with cats in sounded good, one w/o cats sounded badddd. are the stinger and magnapack just like this going to give the same sound, because i dont want to put cats in i spent too much $$ to get rid of them. tia.
