Default Best Exhaust Combo without a Budget

Hey guys. I bet this has been probably been asked many times but ill shoot at it anyway.
Heres the scoop, i have an 00 Mustang 3.8 with Mac catback exhaust. It was installed like sh!t and lets just say things didnt go to well. Thing is, i love the sound and all my friends think its an 8cyl except it has no idle. Well now that warranty has expired and i need to have all new exhaust/headers, will i notice a BIG difference with all 4 cats off? I am going for long headers and having custom mandrel bent exhaust with mufflers probably from mac and some nice tips for the back. Anyone have a similar setup with no cats on? Also, can anything happen if i have no cats on the car, legally?
Also, does anyone have some sound clips, that would be awesome.

Thanks guys.




The exhaust will be coming from long headers with no cats, x-piped with either magnaflow or mac mufflers. Id like to hear any imput or feedback on this.

Also im not on any budget. I am looking to put the best equipment on as long as its under 2k with headers, and the loudest combo with the best sound.

The cats aren't a restriction, you're more likely to go too big on exhaust and lose power even WITH the cats,.

The fine varies from $1000 + around here, it's totally illegal, until it gets grandfathered, which used to be at 100,000 miles in Kansas, I don't know about other states.

Any one of the systems would work.

Go to Mustangexhaust.com for a variety of clips -they used to have 'em for every system, unti their server bit the dust . . .
