not true about sounding like **** at all... had them on my car and it sounds loud and mean , raspy at times matters how u drive, but every person who pulled me over to ask me about the car first question was what kinda turbo are you running because with every gear switch it sounds like a blow off valve atleast with the setup i had

IMO, the car loses its classy aspect when it's just uselessly loud, you can always throw in an FI catback and some resonated HFC's or TP's if you want a nice exotic sound that will drive you deaf as well

Yeah you're talking about the hiss sound that gets amplified with your cats and mufflers removed

after spending 1500$ on your exhaust system you'll be getting about the same sound as straight..?

Not to get stuck on semantics, the OP was asking about two options; one defined as straight pipe which I took to mean without both a muffler and catalytic converter, and the other with just the muffler removed.
As far as your running without a catalytic converter, you alone will have to decide if you meet the requirements of a good, law abiding citizen or not.

I just bought a g and it came with a straight pipe true dual and let me tell you sounds like crap!!!!! Worse then rice sound! Has Good mufflers but the straight pipe kills it. ' ' I'm putting back the factory resonators hopefully makes it's a better sound with out rasping sound ... what do you guys think?

it really depends on what you’re trying to achieve. If you want a loud, & mean sounding exhaust for a low price because you’re on a budget or looking for cheaper options. Go for it. The only downside is you get what you pay for, there will be rasp & it’s going to have drone. I have resonated test pipes & muffler delete & i personally love it for the price. (I’m a broke college student so i cant drop a ton right now lol). If you’re looking to make it sound mean but quiet when you want it, get an axle back, they’re fairly cheap & you will still notice a difference.
