Unless you like ear bleeding loud and drone, get the cats. I'm sure Barry will work with you.

Yeah, basically from my experience, the cats dampen more sound than the mufler does...

I'm not so much worried about WOT as I am about the sound level inside while cruising @ 65MPH doing 1800-1900 rpm.

Thanks for input guys, keep it coming [/QUOTE]

Well I have Mac's, custom ory and Gmmg. Let me tell you its LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Highway cruiseing has rasp and drone. I went for a 50 mile cruise with the wife and daughter. Needless to say I installed a Moroso bullet that next week. No more rasp. No more Drone. I can drive the car at over 2,000 in the city without getting a ticket. Anybody that has this combo will Know exactly what Im talking about. The bullet worked great. I can actually have a conversation in the car while cruieing, at WOT its loud but nice> At the race track my instructor and myself could talk but had to yell during WOT shift/driving. Track officals voted me the Best Sounding Car over the weekend. Not to loud, not to quite, Had a muffled NASCAR sound that they loved. Onlookers could tell where I was anywhere on the race track John

I went from the Corsa to the GMMG, but only because I went through 2 mufflers, and was fed up with waiting for new ones, and having them welded on again. I really liked the sound. It woke up with headers and a cam.. It's just not worth the money in my opinion. The only parts of the system even worth anything are the tips.
