LT's with cat back I'm currently running a Borla catback on my 2000 T/A and am finally looking to go with some LT's, has anyone run LT's with a open system like Borla's? I'm thinking it might be too loud, still looking to keep the car comfortable for daily driving. Thanks!

I'm going to have to try to find some Central Florida F Body clubs to sneak a listen at some of their cars 
Yeah, the Borla wide open is perfect I think with the cats to still talk, listen to the radio, etc.... and still hear that you have a V8. I have a 68 Mustang that gets a little loud... of course no cats, long tubes, free flowing exhaust will do that..... just trying to be cautious without tossing money around!

I am running LT's/ORY and open borla. I am not running any cats. Sounds like
at 2000-2300 rpms or so but other than that I love the sound of it, espically when I get on it! I also use my car as a daily driver in the summer and the noise does not bother me.

Anyone run LT's with cats and catback? I hear mixed reviews on power losses with that setup, apparently seeing on how not many people seem to run cats it must be significant?

. If you get a GOOD TUNE at a QUALITY SHOP(SpeedInc. here in the Chicago area) this is not an issue. This is dyno proven. No difference with my SS as far as "Seat of the pants" after the switch to the current set-up except it is more fun to drive as it is not so loud it draws attention from everyone including the Cops. Install a cutout(s) if you feel the need to be really loud or for the track.I HAVE HAD A FAIR AMOUNT OF WORK DONE THERE AND THEY HAVE ALWAYS DONE RIGHT BY ME. (AND, NO, I AM NOT EMPLOYED BY THEM)
