Default Which Do You Think Would Make More Power?

I have two different exhaust setups ... I have the stock cats with the stock flat Y pipe And an SLP Loudmouth ... or i have a bassani y pipe setup wiht no cats and a SLP Dual Dual exhaust with the # inch inlet.... I put the muffler on after removing the cats and driving it with the loudmouth ... it was stupid loud ... it wasnt even funny ... my friend has a longtube setup with no cats and a loudmouth and mine was louder we compared ... it was odd ... But which do you think would make more power ?? stock cats and y with loudmotuh ? or no cats with the "sleeper" exhaust from SLP??? Thanks guys!!!

The DD muffler flows pretty well on a stock car so I would say the !Cats DD setup would be better. But with a mildly modded car your not gonna get much by removing the cats.

I think they will be very close in power (with maybe only the rpm range at which the power is made changing slightly?).
I do think the D/D with no cats might sound slightly better than the LM with cats but power wise it might just be too close to call because the D/D muffler probably flows slightly better than stock cats and maybe equal to high flow cats provided neither cats are clogged yet the LM will likely flow better than the D/D.
You would probably only need/want a cut out if going with the D/D set up.

The D/D will sound a helluva lot better than the Loudmouth w/o cats. I would run the SLP D/D.

Yes, but he's comparing the D/D without cats to the LM with cats.
Both sound good but the D/D set up should sound better IMO.
