There's a lot of info back and forth but I think everything can be agreed that if there is a difference, it's extremely negligible ...
I forgot to mention as it probably goes without saying, no cats do give you a strong smell. But I don't think its unbearable, and other than a cold start I never even smell it to be honest But I agree with Dmpsix, the sound difference would be so slight that you wouldn't probably notice.

As far as your overall sound; I don't think any set up is gonna be too loud at idle for you other than maybe a cold start. I've had a longtube, no cats, muffler delete set up and now run longtubes, no cats, and the SW retro catback. Neither of them are loud at idle other than cold start. Even then it's not bad. Under 2000 RPM's they give a nice deep growl. After that it does wake up quite a bit. Sound is all interpretation though, what I think sounds good or not loud may be 180 degrees from what you think. If I was a betting man though, regardless of what set up you go with, nothing is gonna be too loud for at idle unless you cam the car So unless you have NPP (I don't remember if you do or not) I would have to agree with Christian a bit, might as well just remove the stock suitcases, I honestly don't think you would be unhappy with it. Especially if you went with a company that offers set ups with mufflers still included like some flowmaster, Borla, magnaflow, etc do.

YouTube is your friend! Just search around and see what you like. I know not all videos are of the best audio quality, but there are usually multiple people with each set up so you can get a pretty good idea. Best of luck with whatever you decide and remember, nothing is permanent!
