It was not a small job but anyone with mechanical abilities and some time can do it in a day. Here is a quick clip of the results.

No cats. Yes i get LOUD drone from 1600 to 1900 rpm. The B&B Fusion (in the closed position) cuts about 90% of the drone out.

The drone can be managed by changing your driving habits. Keeping it in a lower gear, or hanging in the "no-drone" RPM range isn't too difficult.
Mine is pretty loud with headers, Flowmasters and no cats, but not annoying at all.
