Default X pipe

I am going to get the loudmouth II catback, But I cant decide between catted or no cats. Will the x pipe make that big of a difference in the sound.

if you go with o/r, it will be a more hollow loud sound. with cats, it will be a lot smoother and cleaner. less rasp too. i like my catted x and flows.
