No, the biggest cork in the flow of the engine is the manifolds. The stock units will only allow so much air through, with LT's you get more flow, and a better chance to scavage air and push through the stock muffler.
A Cat out is used to circumvent the Muffler, like I said 2 different things.\
Depending on cat back choice, you may or may not need to put a cut out on.
i have LT pacesetters, ory (no cats), QTP electric cutout, and a mangaflow muffler at the back. it sounds nice and is pretty quiet closed....but open the cutout and its loud as hell. i actually gained 13 rwhp on a mustang dyno with the cutout open. 356 rwhp closed 369 open.

Doing longtubes OFTEN need the pcm tune adjusted.
I had a SLP lid, Dynatech headers WITH cats and a Corsa. I was running lean and running 6 deg of knock retard.
