Just in case you didn't know.....



OP, A few catted Xs sound great with Flows (Bassani and Magnaflow come to mind...), but it is of popular opinion that the vast majority of O/R Xs sound like *** with them.

If you wanna go catless, a H or PC is a much more popular choice....

Even better, go listen to some clips on YouTube and think for yourself.....

Cats do a lot to smooth out that sound and I would go so far as to say catted Xs sound pretty good....to MY ears.

Take the cats off an X and the sound makes me vomit.
