I have Pacesetter lt's and ory. I also have an SLP loudmouth catback. It's about as loud as you can get and it's pretty bad if you're driving to the store to get groceries. On the other hand I've been stopped by several people telling me it sounds great and asking questions about what I have on my car. It's all on how much noise you want to deal with.

The loudmouth is a straight through exhaust. With the lt's and ory you have little backpressure as it is. If you spent the money on a cutout it would maybe at most give you a 1 - 2 hp gain and sound like ****. I honestly don't think it's worth it.
Yea the only other person i have talked to about it is one of my buddies with a GT and he said dont do it b/c it will eventually leak and will sound like ****, but i paid him no attention b/c he drives a mustang lol

I agree with him on what he said though. Most do leak pretty bad. I also think it's more fun to drive the car to the track in complete street form and still get good times. If you have any more questions I'd be more than happy to help.
Have two other questions that nobody else has answered on here n maybe u can!!! I want to get a 58mm TB but dont know what brand and do you kno if the MAF ends are worth it or if even descreening the stock one???

Descreening the stock maf isn't really bad. It's only bad if you're not running an air filter to protect it. When PCM for less tuned my computer they made adjustments for the descreened maf. The maf ends are worth nothing. Keep it stock. As far as the 58mm tb, you don't need it. At most I would suggest a 52mm but only as a supporting mod if you did a cam swap, supercharger/turbo, or nitrous. Stock tb will flow more than enough unless you get into forced induction or nitrous.
Do a head/cam package when u get ready to tho. Do it right the first time. You will get gains from a cam only, but to compliment it, go ahead and get heads too. Lloyd Elliot or Advanced Inductions seems to be the way to go.
