What does it sound like w/2 cats & str. pipe

I just came back from the shop & for $400 bucks I'm getting 2 new universal cats and a straight pipe with this HUGE 8 inch chrome & red tip. So before I waste the money....,what kind of sound and proformance am I going to get? I don't want it to sound like ****! My buddy has an Integra w/ the same set up & although they are to completly different things.........,will it sound anything like that???????I really need some input on this!

If it has a single tip, it'll sound like ****, expecially if it's huge.

BTDT.

maybe go with a 4 inch tip, but I dont think it will sound very good with that either. I could see the 8" hitting the ground when backing out of a driveway...

8" is way to freakin big, IMO

A 2 1/4" tip was too big.

Two 1.5-1.75" would be best IMO. But that's MO and not yours.

If you like the way a straight piped Integra with a melon launcher on it sounds, you'll love the way a rotary with a fart cannon will sound.

It removes all tone from the exhaust, sounds like complete crap, just a constant, hollow-sounding blaaaaaaaaaaa.

Make sure you get something with a lifetime warranty, and make sure to buy the shop pizza or something every time you get the cat replaced.

I've seen a generi-cat melt down in under 5 miles. (this in a desmogged FC with no air pump, shame shame)
