(Ignore you live in the Backwoods) You're probably going to want to buy mufflers when you do that. No Mufflers isnt really that loud compared to no muffs and an o/r x pipe.

U Know Once U Unbolt The Catback You Lose Alot Of Power Unless You Have Like 600hp. I Ran Open Hpipe For A Day To See What Difference It Makes And It Make A Whole Bunch. Lost Alot Of Power And I Had Nothing In Second Gear. I Did This To My Stock 93 Cobra. It Was Loud But Not Worth It. Specially When U Pull Up Next To A Cop And You Are At A Red Light. Trying To Pull Away From The Light And Be Quiet Is Hard. Trust Me.

mufflers need to be welded in and taken to be the shop, x pipe is just bolt on isn't it?

If you buy a off-road midpipe put at least 1 cat back on each side or get a catted midpipe b/c your car will run better with backpressure. I am putting a cat back on each side of my off-road h-pipe soon!!

Thats why i will probably jsut take the wholething to the shop, have them weld the magnaflows in and put the x pipe on at the same time. Saves me the trouble of having to get under the car and all
