Well, no point in spending money on your stock catback if you're not going to keep it more than a few months. It would cost some cash to have a muffler shop cut the muffler out and weld in a pipe. So, if you plan to get a new catback soon anyway, you could just pull your stock catback off now and run a open Y-pipe, maybe with a turndown on it. That would be loud, if that's your goal.

I've run stock manifolds, stock cats, with nothing past the stock y-pipe. Its definitely loud but for me it was very liveable. I dd like that for 3 months. Of course before that I had a cutout that was open for over a year.

I've run manifolds with cats and no muffler on 2 of my LS1s. Sounds pretty good IMO. I just removed the muffler and had a pipe fabb'd up to take its place so I'd still have my tips.
