Dr.Gas & Super40 Flows or Bassani X & CB?

I already have the Super40's welded in.
I've got a Bassani X-pipe with cats in the garage.
Should I...

1. Add a Dr. Gas X pipe to my Super40 Flows
or
2. Install my Bassani catted X and add a Bassani Catback system?

# 2 for sure (w/o cats ). IMO flows, and a o/r X sound crappy. Really raspy.

Best sound is an o/r x, and straight through mufflers.
I have LT', and the above, Sounds so awesome !

See this vid -

Every person at the T&J Dyno Day (yesterday) wanted the Dr. Gas X with Flows after hearing it on a few cars. It's just bad ass. No other words to describe it. The X with flows being "too raspy" doesn't apply to the Dr. Gas. The Bassani and flows sounds like a rock in a tin can, but the Dr. Gas is nothing even close. Trust me and the many other satisfied Dr. Gas owners.

I have clips of both, and both sound great! (similar too)

My Super40's are welded in to my stock catback.
Just add a Dr. Gas and I'm all set??
Should I add some Hi Flow cats to it?
Don't want trouble here in Phoenix, AZ.

I'm sure I could sell the Bassani Catted X without a problem.

That's all you need, just add the Dr. Gas. As far as AZ smog laws..... that's your call.

If I leave the cats off the Dr. Gas how loud is it?
Is it gonna be just plain screaming and I become a cop magnet?
How much difference in sound and performance with and without cats?
Also, does the Dr. Gas decrease the drone in the Flows?

The Dr. Gas and flows is NOT obnoxiously loud or it would not be on my car. Yes it's noticeable if you scream it to redline, but what exhaust isn't?
As far as sound difference with the cats? Well I do imagine it will change the sound quite a bit. Can I say how much or how badly? No, but I'm just thinking of the differences I experienced with the catted Bassani and o/r Bassani. Big difference.
As far as HP loss with hi-flow cats? Perhaps 5-8 rhwp is my best guess.

I suppose I could just get the O/R Dr. Gas and keep my stock H-pipe.
When it comes time for emmissions just throw the stock H back on?
How much time/effort does it take to install or remove the Dr. Gas?
Once it's welded I should just be able to unbolt it to take it off and then bolt it back on.

takes 20 minutes to change the pipes out. As long as the DrG is not raspy like the others go that route. My car has LT's, and it's not that loud. But I think LT's are quieter that stock manifolds, and a full length o/r mid pipe.

Good News!!!!
Apparently in Arizona cars 1999 and newer are exempt from being tested for emissions! Guess I can get the O/R Dr. Gas and pair it up to my Super40's!
This is from: http://www.adeq.state.az.us/environ/air/vei/tested.html

Exempted Vehicles

Model year 1999 or newer, except reconstructed, vehicles
Model year 2001 or newer original equipment alternative fuel vehicles
Model year 1966 and older vehicles
Apportioned vehicles (licensed in more than one state)
Electric powered, golf carts or vehicles with engine displacement of less than 90cc
Vehicles leased to a person residing outside the emission control areas
Vehicles transferred between dealers (wholesale)

Are you worried about a visual inspection?

Well, apparently i don't have to get my car emissioned, so no.
However, if a cop pulls me over and checks I'm in trouble i guess.
What are the chances of a cop pulling me over and checking for cats?
