I originally got the bbk lt's with an xpipe but hated the raspy weird clicking noise, so i swapped it out with an o/r H pipe and I love it. I have a borla for the catback and I love the sound. It's not very loud, but when I get on it, it sounds gorgeous

but my understanding is the aft-cat and h/x pipe contribute more to the waulity of the sound than do the headers, if you were to leave anything out, it would be the headers.

I dunno if headers make it quieter or louder. I got a new midpipe with the headers and with the borla muffler, its not very loud to begin with. The only way to tell how headers change sound would be to use something like the slp X which is available for LT's and stock headers so you could use the same midpipe and catback, just different headers. Otherwise, the sound would be pretty different

If you've got the money go with SLP the quality is awesome. I've got SLP longtube Headers,Freeflowing Catted X-Pipe and SLP Catback with Loudmouth II's and I luv them. Long story short you get what you pay for.I've got a bad *** exhaust sound with true performance gaines.The best of both worlds.
