Default Loudmouth with no cats too loud?

i am about to install a set of kooks LTs and cant decide if im going to go with the catted y (magnaflow) or ory. i have a 2001 Z28 and just installed SLPs loudmouth and want to add the rest of the package. its not an every day driver however when im off i try to drive it as much as i can. i have heard that having no cats will be unbelievably loud and unbearable. i dont believe not having them will give me much more horsepower its just that the price is so much better. purchasing the sims and extensions is not a problem but im scared there is going to be so much droan and vibration im going to regret not spending the money for the cats. i live in charles county maryland and passing emissions shouldn't be a problem because all we require is OBD2 testing. thanks for all the help

also STILL looking for someone GOOD who knows what their doing to install them relativley close.

I just installed Mac Headers and catted y pipe with LM. Sounds great with cats on.Yea you could take them off for a few xtra hp, if you don't mind the rasp and drone then go ahead.LM sounds good at idle and awsome WOT. I have an A4 2002 WS6 T/A

I wouldn't do it unless you've heard it and actually like it.

I didn't have a problem with my LM until I got a cam. I kinda liked it, but the cops were all over me.
