my 95 has hollwed out cats and a very short glass pack, and i have been told it sounds good at about 2500+. but it sounds kinda weezy at 1500-2500 and good again at idle. i think i just might put duals infront of the tires with a muffler though. it was way to loud straight piped out hte back with hollowed out cats. also sounded real ratty from 2000+
just my .02 though

I used to have an exhaust system on my truck where I had both cats. It was a cat-back Y pipe that ran into two glass pack chrome tips. There's a vid on YouTube of a guy's truck who has the same set up. Just check out Jegs. My truck never sounded ricey and was at the perfect noise level; it wasn't loud but it wasn't quiet. It had a very aggresive idle too.
Maybe just take your truck to the exhaust shop and have them mimic this. Have them run a Y pipe (I'm assuming you want the look of duals?) straight out back with short glass packs near the tips.

Here's the Jegs catback with glass packs.

I personally think this sounds good, period. Keep in mind this dude still has his cats. And from personal experience I know this sounds deeper in person. I recomend this set up if you're going to keep your cats (which I think you should).
I'm working on finding you the Flowmatser 40 sound clips I found.
Rockin300, hurry up man! I want to hear your Mini Cummins!!!!!!!
Here's a Flowmaster 40 series vid, but I think his cats might be gutted. I know there's a vid floating around somewhere of a 300 with stock cats and a flowmaster with tail pipes. I'm trying to find it.

I was thinking yours probably is deeper. They say the longer the pipe you run the deeper it sounds. Plus you have dual pipes. I bet mine sounds pretty close to yours. I'm guessing yours will sound more like a tractor than mine does. Man I love the sound of a straight piped I6!

and with the glasspack tips do you need to run a muffler, or are the tips like mini glasspacks?

No muffler, bro. Your cats would run into the Y pipe and from the Y pipe to the glass pack tips. If you don't want to buy the glass pack tips, you could probably just put a glass pack in front of your Y pipe.
By the way, use the shortest glass pack(s) you can. I wouldn't use anything longer than 12''.
