Default Which BBK H Pipe?

I want my mustang LOUDER. I'm looking into buying a BBK 2 1/2" O/R H Pipe for my mustang gt. There's two to choose from on summitracing.com. One has Catalytic Converters and the other doesn't. The one w/ cats is alot more expensive but it's street legal. My question is if I buy the one w/ the cats, will it sound any quieter than the one w/ out them? If so, how much? Will horsepower be reduced? .......As of now I have BBK shorty unequal length chrome headers and flowmaster mufflers with stock tail pipes. thanks

You will hear some difference since the one with cats only has 2 (high flow if there is a such thing) cats while the stock has 4. So you will notice a difference in tone. I did if I do recall correctly when i put in the high flow cats one of bbk on my mustang.

i would get the off road and if you live in an area that requires an emissions check keep your old pipe to swap back on before the test
