Default Difference in sound? To cat or not to Cat Hpipe?

What is the difference in sound between the Single cat H pipe and the offroad H pipe? I have the 3 chamber Flowmasters on now (not too sure of the series). I like the deep sound of the flows with H pipe but don't want to get too out of hand and wake up the neighbors. I am also in an emissions area.

Difference is like night and day. Just put my off road H on, had high flo cats before!

It's a huge difference, do yourself a favor...go catless and save the money, it sounds better.

But common, difference is, you are blown and I only get that when I go to bed. Is it obnoxiously loud with not cats?

Getting blown at home is one thing, but to get it all the way to work will rock!
So I think I need to figure out witch offroad H pipe it is now.

buy a SLP X Pipe with cats. Than buy some race pipes so you can switch up whenever you want.,


CATS OWNS, BUT I HATE THE WAY THEY MUFFLE MY EXHAUST SOUND. I have hi flows and they quiet the car alot.

with a chambered muffler it will sound great. it'll be a little loud when you get on it but not obnoxious.

I hate the way the Y pipe and the chambered sounds so I just ordered the BBK H pipe + eliminators. Do I keep the rear 02's hooked up and let them hang somewhere or do I just yank them all together?
