For a couple reasons I don't want my car to be loud all the time. I am most likely going to go with an electronic cutout. I would like to keep cats on my car so it doesn't smell like crap. My vision is to go with coated pacesetter LT's, pacesetter y-pipe, 3" QTP cutout, and hooker muffler (3" inlet and two 2.5" outlets). My question is, can I run this setup w/ cats? where do the cats go? As you can tell i dont fully understand the setup of the ls1 exhaust and a diagram would help me a lot. Also, will the stock catback (except muffler) hurt me that much in terms of HP/TQ gains. Will my car be much louder with the cutout closed from just switching to some high flow cats and the hooker muffler? Thanks for any help.

have cats welded into y pipe, use the mini cats

You get pacesetter long tubes with their catted y-pipe (or Texas-Speed Catted y-pipe). Then the cutout will be placed on the intermediate pipe right before the rear passanger seat.
