LT's and Y-pipe VS. Catback First

LT's and Y-pipe VS. Catback First
There was a thread a little ways back that made me think about this. Would you do longtubes and y into the stock catback first and the catback later or vice versa? Price is about the same on some common products like Pacesetter LT's and ORY versus a Magnaflow or Hooker catback. Which did you go with or would you go with?

Actually the Sweet Thunder is pretty damn quiet in my opinion. I've whored this video out a thousand times, but it's a good example. This is my car with nothing more than the stock catback hacked off. Factory manifolds, Y-straw and I-pipe. It had a cut out when I bought it, so I just ditched the muffler because it wasn't doing anything but making weight.
I'll upload my videos of the car after the header swap so you can see the difference.

Wonder how loud it would be with Pacesetters and a Y with no catback.

I say buy it all together, but if you have to piece it together do LTs and O/R Y and later do a cutout.
I'm a big fan of a pretty tame CB paired with a Electric Cutout. That way when the piggies are around you don't have to sweat, but when some one wants tries to rev on you you can show them what a real car sounds like.

yea like people have said, LT ORY and cutout... in the week ive had my cutout ive had several ricers try to race till i opened my cutout and ended the race b4 it started one guy kept trying to race till i gave it a nice rev, then he slowed down and got behind me and stayed like that for 15 miles till he exited the highway. no matter how slow i went he wouldnt pass me

since i am going to school i cant really buy it all at once, i am def doing the lt's and ory first, then selling my cats and adding an e-cutout! some time down the line i want to add a magnaflow catback and maybe into a cme to get a nicer tone out of it when the cutout is closed! i just thought this might make an interesting thread as to what people did first.
