Default STS system sound w/out cats

I've got an STS system on the way. I've got long tube headers and i don't planning on having any catalytic converters. I hated the raspy sound i had before i put on converters. It sounded like ***. Im just curious if anyone has heard this system without cats.

It is raspy without cats. I am trying to figure out a way to add some sort of muffler to quiet it down a bit.

Try Borla XR-1. They sound great and flow even better.

I hated the way my car sounded with out the cats on my sts. It sounds good when you are in it you can realy hear the turbo howl, But come out of it sounds like a glass pac Mind you I had stock exhaust and a 3 in dump off my turbo. But my boy had his put on by trt like me with long tubes+ory and the tail pipe that came with the kit and it sounded like a borla exhaust minus the turbo whistle . So I think without a dump on the turbo plus the pipe that comes with the kit with no cats it will sound like a performance muffler just my dealings with it And welcom to the world of boost via (STS)

I was thinking of installing something behind the y pipe. Would this muffler fit there?

Yes it should fit.... People who run Loud Mouth exhaust usually put the XR-1 muffler instead of the resinator (sp?).
