SLP Dual Dual, Catted or ORY? I plan to put an SLP dual dual catback on my 6 speed car this week and within a month or two, 1 7/8 ARH headers will follow. I am unsure of which (catted or ORY) to put on the car. The car will be a daily driver, but I still want some sound. I Have a GMMG on my other SS with a catted Y and it is perfect, but I know the dual dual will be much quieter. I used to have dumped duals on the automatic car and I got tired of smelling like fuel and having everything in the car rattle. Is fuel smell really prominent inside the car with an ORY and a catback?
I bought the dual dual because it is stainless, I know they flow very well, and from the sound clips I've heard online, they sound pretty good at wide open throttle.

ORY hands down! I've got the same setup ARH LT's and ORY to the Dual Dual, perfect tone IMO. My buddy has factory manifolds/cats to GMMG his car is louder all around except at WOT.

You would be stock volume with cats and a bit louder and more hollow sounding without.
I run an ORY and catback (when I have the muffler on my car) and I only smell it when I backup out of a parking space, to where my car occupies the space where the exhaust gas was. Otherwise, nothing. I am sure it is gross being behind me, but oh well.
I say go ORY and a cutout.

When I got my car it had texas speed headers, hooker ory and slp dual/dual. I had to add cats to pass visual inspection. I think the tone is better with the cats but liked that it was lounder without. One thing about the cats is that they got rid of 100% of the rasp i had before. However my car is now probably no louder then stock. Im probably going to add a cutout in the I pipe.

My bro has JET HOT 1 3/4" LTs with a Texas Speed ORY mated to his Factory Optioned Dual/Dual and it sounds really good. Its not quite loud enough for his taste (he'd love to eventually trade up for a GMMG Catback), but he likes it. Just the slightest bit of rasp, but its barely noticeable.
As you mentioned, the only downside of an ORY is the sickening exhaust smell. I don't smell it while driving in his car, so that's not really an issue. Although this the compromise you have to make when you decide to go Catless. The choice is yours there. Do you want a slightly louder tone with the ORY? Or would you rather not have your clothes smell like unspent fuel every time you pull into the garage?

follow up: decided to go with a ORY and I really like the sound. The car is still quiet at idle and cruising down the road, which is perfect since it is a daily driver. It changes completely when accelerating and is loud when I want it to be.
