Well i got my temporary exhaust.. I got my flowmaster 80 series in the mail today.. going to get it installed tomorrow. Just the muffler, not the catback.
I bought it off ebay, used only 100 miles on it, for $50. (its clean, we took a look inside )
Yes, i'm a cheapass, but it's temporary until i save enough money for something better.. aka, when i put headers on my car and get a borla setup.
Anyways, how do you guys think this will sound on stock manifolds and stock cat. I'm leaning toward removing my cat.. but i'm not sure yet. I live outside the city, so i don't have emissions testing.
Any comments / suggestions for removing a cat.. how would it sound with this muffler with a cat, as opposed to without one.

Well my step dad put a 80 series on his LT1 (daily driver, all stock besides that) and it sounds great.. It's loud and beefy, you mean to tell me an LS1 won't sound as good, if not better? I don't understand.

I had muffler alone when I bought the car, sounded like a stocker just a few DB higher.
Wasn't bad at all, people just hate flowmaster because its trendy.
Play the clip of the muffler only vette on ls1sounds thats almost exactly how it sounds in person.
Cliffs:
Doesn't help doesn't hurt lil louder

The clip def. sounds louder then stock.. I'll be happy if it ends up sounding like that.

...it will sound 10x better than any stock muffler. 
and if you remove the cats it will sound louder and better IMO...I hate cats.
