catted will give better sound. Catless will give better performance. prepare to unleash the raspiness of the LSJ, if you stay catted and resonated you may be ok.

For my mods the stock exhaust it to restrictive. Being replaced hopefully next week with the ZZP 3 Catback System.

Other than that it sounds good.

I have the badmab header, catless random technology 3" to 2.75" downpipe, and corsa touring 2.5" catback, and I have zero rasp. It all depends on the size of the piping, and your resonator/muffler configuration. Buy a cheap qualilty resonator and muffler and you will hear the terrble rasp the lsj can produce. Buy a large resonator and muffler, or quality catback, and going catless will sound just fine.
