No cats and a loudmouth is going to be splatty/raspy and sound like a '77 3/4 ton 4x4 with glass packs on it.
Only you can decide if you're going to like how your car sounds. Some people actually like ORY/LM setups, while most think it sounds like rolling death.

It's more gratifying to bust someone's *** in something as quiet as a church mouse. I'd rather have someone think it's slow than think it's fast, especially if it's not fast (which it isn't).
My new exhaust setup is 1-7/8" Kooks, 3" to 4" y-pipe, 4" bullet, electric cutout w/ dump, 4" to 3" reducer, then SLP Dual/Dual.

FWIW, LS1's are rasp machines. i would never run an ORY on it, all exhausts rasp with an ORY, yes, even the magnaflow. i can't stand the sound with an ORY. it sounds like someone is gargling mouthwash when you rev it. the loudmouth is going to sound even worse. some people like rasp, maybe you do. the point is, most people are going to hate it. our aluminum block needs cats to sound good, i'm sorry. we don't have mustangs. we don't have LT1 iron blocks. our cars are hard to get to sound really good. cats is one of the steps we have to having a car that sounds like love.

I agree that LT1's sound better but that's in part because of a different firing order. I have LT's, ORY, and Magnaflow and it's a LOT louder than stock. Of course my cam helps big time too. I think there are plenty of F-bods (including mine) that sound great w/ an ORY. It lopes hard at idle especially w/ my cutout open and screams "get the hell out of my way" at WOT. My only complaint is that it's a little truckish sounding at part throttle w/ the cutout open but then again I can close that whenever I want and it's back to sounding deep and mean again.

Your right with LT1's sounding better. My friend has a stock 93Z and has a cutout only and it sounds mean

The ORY SLP Dual/Dual setups sound nice. Very quiet with no rasp. The bullet in my I pipe will take care of any rasp that *might* happen. It's main function is to improve the sound quality a bit when the cutout is opened (for performance). I'd love to run cats but with the power I'll be making, it's just not an option.

I ran LT's and an ORY with a bullet muffler, sounded excellent, except for rasp. Once I installed the turbo after the bullet, it sounded BEAUTIFUL! I am getting rid of my LT's and going back to manifolds. Don't need to draw attention to myself if I don't need to... not here in CA anyway. =)
