would not having catz make a difference?
I have ASM LT headers, no cats, x-pipe, dual borla pro xs mufflers...

I intalled the headers and removed the cats on my truck.. big difference in sound..

Now it sounds more aggresive.. so no cats = louder

True duals can be built by any competent exhaust shop for cheap.

Headman X-junction ~ $150
Bullet Mufflers (2) ~ $75
Turn downs (2) ~ $20
Labor and pipe ~ $100-150

True duals with turndowns. I had mine made at a small muffler shop and they did a great job. Sounded better than anything i'd ever heard. Only cost me like $100 + the mufflers.

LOL, you already have no cats(offroad Y) with your Borla cat-back...If you run the Borla wide-open(without any plate), it ain't gonna get much louder than that SS Girl! Any Borla, SLP Loudmouth, or Cutout is gonna be loud as all he!! without cats. Only problem with any of those set-ups is that they all sound like $hit without the cats IMO(way too raspy and unrefined). Not a good sound at all on the LS1...

If you want to keep your car loud all the time but actually sound good without the cats, get a TRUE DUAL set-up with some Dynomax Bullets, Sweet Thunder Chambered mufflers, or FloPro Twisters...

I think muscle cars sound better the louder they are: rasp=mean! My girlfriend gets more excited than I do when the Borla backfires(louder than a shotgun) also can't get enough of people about a block away turning around when I just start the car!
I can still hear her talking on the highway though, at least until I get the headers/ORY and run the Borla wide open.

Yeah, but it's still not gonna get rid of the drone.

I think the GMMG or duals sound the best.Between the two I prefer duals.

If you don't want tips in the back get duals that dump before the axle. It's cheap and it works. I would do that but I have a T/A and it would look bad.
