Default ORY or catted Y with Hooker catback??

So my mods are in my sig. Ive always loved the hooker catback, and its one of the catbacks with the least amount of rasp when run with an off road y-pipe. However, it still has a noticeable amount of rasp between 2000-2500 rpms. I have an ORY right now, and Im thinking of going with a catted y-pipe when my hooker catback gets here this week. The only thing im worried about is that while it will kill rasp, it might make it a little too quiet. Id like to hear some sound clips of a hooker catback run with headers and a catted y-pipe. So let me hear some suggestions on what i should run, and please post some soundclips. Thanks fellas

I have had both. I like the catted-y setup a lot better.

yes, it's quieter, but that is why I have a cutout. Cutout + ORY sounds terrible, imo.

Personally I like catted, better tone and no issues with passing emissions.

Love my catted Y pipe.

Also to mention, Catalytic converter technology has advanced quiet far. If you get a decent set, they flow so well that hp is bearly effected.
