Default cats or no cats?

Since my Birthday in on the 19th I want to get myself a present. I'm gonna get headers and a Y-pipe but I just want to know if it would be best for me to get cats or not get cats. There is no emissions testing where I live, so it rules that question out. Are they really worth having or would I get the same sound and/or smell with or without them?

I went with FLP's so I can have it either way - 10 min's and the cats pop in/out.

I'm not running cats. Boy O boy what a smell!!! Takes quite awhile to get use to it. If emissions isn't a problem I say ditch the cats.
