Default Question on my apex N1?

I have done alot of searching for the last to hours haha and i was just couldn't find the exact answer i was looking for!!

I have a 93 civic si hatch with Aem cai, dc sports one peace headers and apex n1 cat back exhaust and i was just wonder if i put a baffled test pipe on (basically looks that same as a cat but it's strait trough) for 80$ canadian!
ANyways i want to know if it will make my exhaust raspy because at the moment it sounds very clean and i don't wana **** that sound up!!

if you do it will definately change the sound and might become raspy. a quick fix to the raspiness is to install a dynomax 2.5" race magnum. only problem with that is you would have to hack into your nice exhaust.

When I gutted my cat, it sure changed the tone of my N1, and made it about 5 times louder, but I'm beginning to like it again

It should sound nice, not raspy but it will bark. When you hit vtec it will really get loud. As far as power loss, I disagree.

With a straight pipe or gutted cat, your N1 will become raspier.
