This has got to be one of the worst kinds of conversation to have on a forum unless you are able to use vivid descriptors, man. It's not
you, it's just the format. "Good sounding..." means 20,000 different things to 20,000 different people, and this is the root of my own investigations regarding whether or not I'm buying LT's with cats, or just cats to compliment my own Borla system.
I'm running the ATAK cat back as well. The upside is that
when it sounds great it comes with that neat, refined piston pumping sound similar to a built, muffled drag car going by. The downside is that the note itself is a bit higher pitched than I like, and it only manifests when under load at higher RPM's. I think a lot of us are looking for that low RPM, deep rumble that (and I hate to say it) you'll find with a lot of Mustangs either from their cam profile or from straight pipes of some kind.
Even the online videos don't do it justice - for example Borla's online video delivers a tonality that makes their system sound even meaner than it really is. You've really got to be pushing a lot of air through the ATAK system to make it sound really muscly to be honest. It's otherwise very lacking from a stop and gentle rev.
