If you keep the stock midpipe and a good axle back it sounds really good. It gets raspy and loud if you replace the midpipe and don't add cats.

I do not have experience for the headers but if it gets too loud, get resonator(s).

I had the headers on without cats and I really prefer them with cats. Just sounds better overall. The new set-up that PPE is going to release includes an full exhaust system that bolts up directly to the headers and looks like it's going to be an amazing set-up.

For me, Having Cats was a personal decision, not a sound (noise) decision. IMHO, in today's environment having catalytic converters on a vehicle driven on a public road is the environmentally responsible thing to do.
