Will changing a different catalytic converter make the exhaust sound different?

My car's catalytic converter is going out, so I'm thinking to buy an aftermarket one to replace it.



I have an aftermarket exhaust system now as well, and I like the sound that it makes. So i just wondering if i change the catalytic converter, will it effect the sound of the exhaust system? thanks!Will changing a different catalytic converter make the exhaust sound different?Not really. Cat's are close to the exhaust manifold and are designed not to impede exhaust flow. Mufflers pipes and resonators affect sound.Will changing a different catalytic converter make the exhaust sound different?Yes, it's possible if you opt for a performance converter. Cause it will allow for more air flow which means more power. You can opt for a stock converter then it shouldn't change the exhaust note.Will changing a different catalytic converter make the exhaust sound different?slightly unless you get the same cat you have nowWill changing a different catalytic converter make the exhaust sound different?either get the one you have now which is probably the factory one or you can get a better flowing one that will allow your exhaust to open up a little but will probably make your ride a little louder, they are called high flow catalyic converters and are sold by summit racing.com.
