I believe its a much deeper sound. You might not pass emissions without cats depending on the state you live in.

if you can get around emissions go without the cats it will sound better but if your state has emissions on it then you dont really have to much of a choice but to go with the cats.

your car isnt lowered is it? if it is lowered how the hell did you get your mufflers not to scrape the ground? when i had a side exit with my force mufflers i couldnt get in the damn garage w/o the mufflers hittin....thats why i dont have the side exit anymore.
