Default Does anybody have this exhaust setup?

I currently have RT cats welded into my Mac ORP, but am thinking that I will benefit a lot if I replace the cats with Dynomax 12" bullets....So, does anybody have Mac headers, ORP w/bullets as described, and with a LM catback? My current setup sounds very good with little backfiring or rasp/drone. Will the swapp effect the sound? Better or worse? How does it sound?
TIA

I have macs with the mac cats gutted throught a loudmouth, i think it sounds really good, i mean its loud but not too bad. when i put on the headers with the gutted cats it actually was quiter at start up and cursing around then the loudmouth with the stock manifolds and stock gutted cats. At WOT it is louder then my old set up, the rasp has actually gone down with the macs and gutted cats then before. drone is still there but it isnt any worse then before the macs.

Thanks for the reply! Does anybody have the bullets in place of the cats though? I think it will be similiar to the gutted cats.

I have the mac headers w/ ory. A custom 3" catback w/ a bullet. Not as loud as i wanted it to be, but then again, i like having a loud-*** car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
