Default Pacesetters, catted y pipe, LM...coming

ok well I have pacesetter lts, custom magnaflow catted y pipe, poly motor mounts, and UMI LCAs/PHB coming....what do yall think? I have loudmouth and am pretty excited for this spring break when I get it installed(next week). I want a catted y for the loudmouth, because I read that pretty much any other resonator in the Ipipe still will have rasp without cats or will be restrictive. Is this LT/catted y setup going to be much louder than my stock manifold/stock gutted cat y setup I have now? thanks...

my friend has the same setup, and it is ungodly loud. he's trying ways to quiet it down now though. Admittedly, he has a cam, but it will still sound like a thousand harleys starting at once, lol.

If you dont wan the Rasp . "One Phrase" Ditch that catback. your Lts and your catted Y is only going to make your Car louder then it is now. Alltho the magnaflow cats should help Some But i dont think its going to be what your Hoping for.

Z2K....I know I will eventually most likely replace the LM catback, but I wanted to know how much of the rasp would be taken out by the cats. I dont mind rasp to a certain level, actually like the sound at WOT and the aggressive tone. Ill just see what it sounds like in a week when the install is done.
