Man my cat must be plugged something fierce. I've got a single super 44 on mine and it is nowhere even close to that raspy or loud; it's nice and deep. I do want to rip out the cat to make it louder but that's way too raspy for my liking.
if you want a rumble, try a super 40, still loud but half as raspy more smooth sounding...youre gona get the poppy sound with a 44 no matter what you do when you take the cat off.
Yeah my flow master 44 is a nice deep rumble, but there is a big difference between the 5.2 and the 5.9 with the FM. I test drove a 5.9 and it was too loud for my taste and I like an obnoxiously loud exhaust. The 5.2 does a nice sweet loud rumble. Just my .02
mine is a 5.2.....its manifold back true duals no cats to super 44s, 2.25" at the manifold and 2.5 back to the tips.
'01 5.2L, stock piping, gutted cat, FM 44. I have since gotten rid of the FM. Too much drone. Went with a Thrush Turbo. Has basically the same sound but not as loud and minimal drone.
I honestly don't mind my Super 10 on my 5.2, although mine isn't near as raspy as yours but cracks from 2,000-2,500 and 3,500-4,000. All the rest of the rpm is a pretty nice, deep rumble.
I can't get rid of my cat, stupid inspections and emmisions here in pa. Guess it would be louder without my cat on and true duels...
Honestly you don't want to do that. Vehicles without cats stink really bad. My daughters first car had the cats removed (unbeknownst to her) and that thing stunk so bad she could not start it in the garage. And even though it was a 94 and did not need emissions inspection, it still failed for missing the emissions equipment (they do a visual). My opinion anyway. I'm not a tree hugger either.

mine is really cracky at like 2500-3500 then rumble all around
