I would have to agree with this 100%. Sounds really good until you nail it.

Then you add a cut-out and have the best of both worlds.

cut-out was open. With it closed it has a much more deeper resonated sound and screams at WOT

Another one of just getting in the powerband but not WOT:

This is my exact set-up, except I have a QTP Electric cutout so I can be loud when I want. Overall, it is still loud, but a lot quieter than most cars with LT's and ORY. It's funny to see people's faces when I open up the cutout on the line!

I'm running LT's with ORY and a stock SS exhaust (not the dual/dual) and I dont like the tone. It sounds ok at WOT but just crusing around its very raspy, has a weird tone to me. Friend has the dual/dual with the same setup and it has a better tone with less rasp and its not much louder. Hope this helps.

my personal opinion, I would go with LTs, catted Y, & GMMG over LTs, ORY, & stock. mean as hell, but not too loud like LM1, LTs & ORY. I also heard going with a Hooker or Magnaflow muffler in there too would be perfect.
