between the 4 cats ( 2 on each side) and a pair of resonators, mufflers = pure sound

You do lose back pressure but I didn't see it causing a power loss. Just a bad a$$ sound

Your gonna love the sound. I did it on mine until I put headers on it, then it was just way to loud. Like " piss off the neighbors loud".

Everyone says drone is bad. I didn't have any problem at all though when I did my muffler delete and straight pipes...not I am running LT headers + Straight pipes...still no drone.

Have had deletes on my 2010 since summer 2010. No loss of power. I don't have any issues with a drone either. I've heard that the drone is mostly on the L99 due to the AFM.
