use the e-brocks and have you some cats welded into it...Magnaflow makes some new ones now that are 8" long...They fit nice...Or build you a custom y with cats in it...either way, youre silly for adding cats..

Why "silly"? maybe he doesnt want the rasp( if your going with a y pipe). Thats the reason I keep mine. Everyone is in a different situation.

He is 100% correct. I have the Edelbrocks and a Dynomax Ultra Flo catback and have no rasp at all.

I have the Edelbrock LTs and am looking to put in cats on their ORY as it is way too raspy for my tastes... has no tone, just a **** load of noise.
