Default what would happen......

.....if i added an or-h pipe to my boomtubes. i love the way they sound, tone, drone, and all......but i've been really curious how they'd sound without cats. i can't find any clips anywhere. i know they're be louder....but what would happen to tone, the exhaust note,and would the drone get worse or better?? any input guys??

You wouldn't be able to hear it because you're ear drums would rupture.

there is no tone without cats.. it's just A LOT of noise firing out. if you love the way it sounds right now, leave it alone because it won't be refined without the cats.

Removing my CATS made the car sound like complete and utter ***.

Drone should calm down a bit when you remove the cats.

Go with high flow cats and you will be happy. If you go with no cats, you are going to have a terrible sounding exhaust that will be raspy. JMO on the O/R x or h sounding terrible.
