Default Pacesetters+TSP Catted Y-pipe+Magnaflow Muffler=???

Hey all, well Christmas came early for me in June as i just got my pacesetter headers with tsp catted Y. My mods on my 2002 Trans Am are simply a lid and ported TB along with a magnaflow muffler in the stock WS6 piping. How will this setup sound thru the LT's and catted 3" Y?? i know it will be probably the most free flowing catback system. Thanks!

Magnaflow sounds great, and the catted y-pipe should keep the sound very clean.

Congrats.

Will be very quiet actually. Better throw on a cutout or you will be dissapointed. My setup is
Headers -> bullet muffler -> cutout -> magnaflow.

Cutout is always open otherwise it sound stock even with my cam.

5-7 HP lose with cats. More than likely less because the Magnaflow/Carsounds flow pretty well.

thanks guys! cant wait to get it all bolted up this weekend and get it tuned. i got 329hp and 338 tq out of just a lid, cutout, and tune by Gomer (Scott Culbert) do u think 350/350 is out of the question after a good tune or am i bein too optomistic..... i know peak hp numbers are not what we are after, its under the curve, but 350 would be a nice number to reach wiht just a few bolt ons. and ya i know that EVERY dyno run will be different and dependend on weather and other stuff, but ballpark, 350/350 reasonable?

Oddly enough, I will have this setup on my car TODAY! G-Force is installing my Pacesetters and TSP catted y-pipe and they installed the Magnaflow catback last week.
