For cheap and loud get some lt headers and two electric cutouts that go before whatever y pipe you choose, Nothing beats the loudness of open headers. This is cost efficient too

I am looking for a louder more agressive sound...

I have $1500 to spend

WTF are "catz"?

You'll have just enough money left over for some bullets because it'll be too loud.

i guess i could just ask either someone that sells the Pacesetters or the QTPs...

any difference in how Pacesetters really sound compared to Hookers... my b/f has those so I know how they sound...

i am about to look and see where I could buy that Dual Cutout Y-pipe

A plain ol' cutout is $20-$40 from Jegs. You can get two and have them welded into each side of you Y pipe. Most people simply put one cutout in their I pipe just behind the passenger seat. They (cutouts) divert the exhaust when a 3 bolt flange is uncapped. The electric cutout is essentially the same plain ol' cutout, but with an electric butterfly valve that is operated by remote from within the car. $600 is pricey but beats the hell out of gutting under the car to open/ close the cutouts. BUT, if you plan on running them open all the time, just get the plain cutout. Cheap and effective.

and my bf wont always be around when i feel like taking them off... so for me i am assuming that the electric is better

You can always just get one electric and put it in the I pipe. Seems like the best compromise in terms of how much you want to spend and what you want to achieve.

Wait, I just looked back to your first post an it states that you have no I pipe? Go with the cutouts in the Y then.
