Default Will cats have an affect on how lopey cam sounds?

im going to be doing a cam and exhaust swap soon nad was wondering if cats on a Y setup will make a 228R on 112 cam sound not as lopey as compared to one with no cats?

Tha cats wont have any effect on the lope of the cam. Having cats will only cut down on rasp and maybe be a little bit quiter than an ory.

I think the lope sound that you actually hear is effected.

For instance, we did an MS4 cam and heads on -=Modified=-'s car. He has LT's and an ORY w/ the stock SLP CME... It sounds really nice, IMO.

Here's an example vid.. I've been trying to upload others, but my net has been slow latley..

It has no effect whatsoever. If it does it is very, VERY minimal. I did a cc503 on my LT1 and I have videos posted up if you want to searchmy threads I made. I have vids with and without cats. Also at the same time I cut the cat out I lowered the idle 100 rpm's and it is still not noticeable. Like I said feel free to search my threads and see.

But a cutout on the other hand...that will really make the car chop! I love mine and that was the exact reason I got it was to bring out the lope more and it does its job.
