H-Pipe with cats questions?

[Outlaw97GT]

Ive had my o/r h-pipe on for a couple months now, and it gets pretty loud when I get on it a little.
My question is- How quiet will it be if I add 2 cats (1 per side)?
I don't want to make it sound too quiet, but be able to talk to my wife @ 65-70 mph. That and I get alot of attention when Im hittin 3000 rpm in town.

I have weld-in flowmasters now, they were on the car when I bought it and they look pretty old. So I am planning on getting the Mac c/b soon.
You think maybe the mufflers are shot?

One more question, How do catted h-pipes sound at idle?
I love the way my car sounds now at idle.....

I love my O/R X pipe and my old O/R H pipe. Catted H pipes are ok but won't sound AS GOOD at idle. I suggest getting a quiter muffler system, like the flowmaster hush or somthing.
