Default Hooker with dumps

Anyone ever put dump/turndowns on there hooker catback instead of the tailpipes. I have a borla y-pipe and the hooker catback but want it alittle louder and was thinking just dumping it might do it. I may also gut my cats but im not sure about that. Anyone ever do this, will it sound good?

Thanks
Jon

If you want it louder, then just go with a cutout.

I ran a cutout on my stock exhaust it was loud but really did't sound all the great IMO. I also don't like the sound of flowmaster on our cars. I just want alittle meaner sound, I love how quiet the hooker is for long highway trips but most my driving is short around town trips. I think im gonna give it a shot and see how it sounds if i don't like it i can just put the tailpipes back on.
