Default Bullet or Catback?

I just ordered Pacesetter LT's w/ an ORY. What would be more beneficial? A bullet on the ORY dumped, or a Cat-Back. Noise is not an issue. The car is lucky to see 2000 miles a year. It will see the strip about 3-4 times a year. Its mostly a saturday night cruise the local strip type car. Thanks for all opinions.

If noise is not an issue, I think the dumped bullett would be more free flowing. You would also lose some weight by not having the cat back.

If you have the Ypipe then do a catback.

To have a set of longtubes and then a Ypipe dumped is retarted. If you want the 'most' power just run some extensions of your collector and dump those with bullets.
