Please help me... I have a 2001 WS6 with long tubes and a ORY. It is attached to my stock catback. I want a better sound and less restriction. What is the difference if I replace just the muffler with a magnaflow muffler vs buying a complete catback. Oppinions please!!!

Catback gives you 3" in, dual 2.5" out. Using a muffler with your stock pipe is 2.75/2.25" in/out. So a little better flow with the catback.
BTW, Hooker makes both the catback size muffler and the stock replacement. Thunder Racing carries both. I have catback size muffler only on my T/A with fabricated 2.5" tailpipes.

Keep the stock catback and add an electric cutout. Best of both worlds, and cheaper. Replace the Y with 3" pipe all the way to the cutout when you have it welded, then stock pipe behind it.
