MHP LTH with cats?

Is anyone running LTH's with Cats? I was wondering how much it would quieten the car down with 200 or 300 cell cats? I talked with Andy at MHP he suggested just an X-pipe and no cats becasue the cats really didnt quieten the car any. I think that they have to make the exhaust a little less obnoxious but im not sure???

I think I am going to buy MHP LTH's with an X-pipe, but I would also install cats if they will reduce the noise level.

Why free up all that flow to leave cats on and decrease it again???

I never understood that.

A free flowing exhaust is going to be loud.

I have a couple X pipes sitting here that can be welded on to the MHP system that I run myself.. The system with no X pipe is obnoxiously loud, with an X pipe the tone is evened out and a bit more civil for around town.

I constantly got people complimenting the sound at red lights and at the race track.



Sound clips with Custom X pipe:

I am , I have a post about it also. I'm running the MHP LTH with 200 cell cats and an xpipe. I love the sound and not loud at all anymore . If you like pm me your number and I will call you and send you pics.... My cats are also v-banded so the can be swapped out in 10min. The xpipe by it self is still very loud but does help.
