Its always better for performance to get an O/R pipe. The catted route is good if you enjoy your hearing and would like to for some years to come. Even with flowmasters, the O/R pipe is gonna be loud.

Some people have emission tests in their state and would fail with an o/r midpipe. Thats why they buy the catted midpipe so they dont have to switch from an o/r midpipe to their stock catted one before the tests. Also I would suggest an o/r midpipe unless you have emissions tests.

I run o/r H pipe and I've never had any problems with my MIL's. I also live in Pa. and you need cats or you don't pass inspection. Luckily I have a family shop that takes care of me. Unfortunetly I'm killing the o-zone, but so is Australia. O/R h pipe and 40 series FM's are too loud for me, especially inside @ 2000 rpm's.
