Default Which setup would sound better?

Currently I have FLP LT's,cats,stock SS catback and Zed style cutout. Since I got the headers the exhaust at times gets alittle loud with the cutout open when just cruising around. But also when the cutout is closed it sounds almost stock and it has no attitude. I guess I am looking for something inbetween. I perfer a deeper throaty sound.

How do you think it would sound if I removed the cats and added the ORP and closed the cutout? I'm thinking it would be to raspy. Anyone running this combination?
Come spring I will at least have to try it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I will be buying a similar setup pretty soon.
QTP 1 3/4 full length headers, QTP ORYP with dual cutouts, and my stock ws6 catback. I hoping it will sound a lot better then stock with the cutout closed, and when open you should be able to here the thing coming from a mile away.

Hooker catback has a nice deep rumbly sound that I like.

Your car might sound raspy without the cats, get that trumpetty sound at 2500 rpms... have to see.
