it'll be raspy even with high flow cats, it's up to you beings that it's your car . . . personally i suggest true duals and dump the catback but that's just my opinion

Here is my car with Jet Hot LT's and a Jet Hot Catted Y-pipe matched to Loudmouth Catback. If this is too raspy for you, then I would suggest a different catback altogether. Or as the above post stated, go with some true duals. Take a look:

your car will be loud and raspy- IMO sound like crap. You may be able to get cats and a powerflow in the I pipe to try to tone it down but the loudmouth is definatly loud with headers.

you can sell your exhaust and look for a used magnaflow, hooker, slp dual dual, gmmg, corsa etc. in your price range. you will like it better.

You should be able to just replace the muffler if you want to quiet it down some- look up magnamouth and you may be able to find some stuff on here.

I originally had the LM "Shotgun" catback. I changed to the LM2. Slightly quieter, a little less drone and rasp. More civilized......but we'll see what happens after I put on LTs and catted y-pipe.
