^ so all u have is the catback, like u have the stock h-pipe?

me??

if so, yes stock H, my catback is pretty damn loud. had my friend drive it for me, and i can hear the car all the way down the street very clearly. its thier stainless steel catback, i like it. drones alot tho. i want to put a high flow catted pro-chamber on it, but it would be WAY TOO loud for me. will sound great but too loud for a DD in a residential area. i already have a couple people that live next door to me that hate the car. cuz its loud.

that sounds good for just a catback. do u think a stock catback with like a mac o/r h pipe would sound about the same?

to be honest with you i dont know, i was playing with the idea of a Off Road Pro-Chamber vs a Catback from MAC. and went with the catback. i think the OR midpipe will be louder with the stock catback. but im not 100 percent, gatta wait for someone who has that setup to know for sure.

i will probably get just and o/r h or x-pipe within the next 1-2 weeks since they are cheaper than the catback. and if i do i will put a clip up of it.

is it bad to have no cats? besides emmissions

The only issues I see with no cats: CEL-which is solved with a tuner and if you are lucky, MIL Eliminators (Which people say only work about half the time, then the smell of unrefined exhaust, and emissions.
