Will a high flow cat and x-pipe modify sound?

I recently discovered one of my cats is venting exhaust fumes--guess I need replacements. I also wanted to modify the sound "just a little bit." As I have a vert, I don't feel comfortable roaring down the road. I know it's the mufflers and the cat-back exhaust system that do the job regarding sound, but will the new cat and x-pipe modify the sound any from stock? Thanks!

Oh, yeah, I drive a 96 gt. Thanks in advance!

yes, going from a stock H pipe to an high flow X will alter sound a bit.

The X pipe with Flowmaster 400's made mind sound a lot more like a V8. What a diference. PLUS I noticed a quicker throttle response, and shift response. [sm=gears.gif][sm=gears.gif][sm=icon_rock.gif]
