http://www.ls1sounds.com/GMMG/GMMG_...bolt-ons_02.MPG

these are by far my fav. sounds...I know you have LT headers and GMMG, but do you have cutouts with this system...also what other mods do you have that gives it that quality sound?
Thx-Drew

Keep the cats. I'll tell you why:

-It will get loud with the full exhaust
-It will get LOUDER with a cam, much louder
-When you get the GMMG, it will sound much better with cats. Without them, it's extremely unbearable loud to most and sounds odd.
-When you get your stall, you'll be higher in the rev range all the time. With a loud exhaust, you'll likely draw far too much attention from police.

Well mine has cats, Hooker LTs, TSP catted-y, magnaflow catback. I love the way it sounds when just cruising it is noticable but not annoying. It is loud at WOT people tun trust me. But I rather have crisp muscle sound than crappy loud

Get Cats
Then get cutouts put before them.
I've had LT's with ORY for a year and am putting cats on. The rasp sucks.
Although, the ORY @ WOT SOUNDS AWESOME!!!! I cant stand the rasp any more. With the cutouts I can have it loud on demand.

Plus I'm also tired of smelling like gas.
