Default Downpipe

So I've been doing some research lately because a lot is being done to my exhaust. I was reading downpipes are only good if you are running a turbo. Is that true and should I hold off on getting it. I have an 06 Monte SS 5.3L 3" exhaust+high flow Cat

I don't know lol, I'm still in Haiti had my mom bring it to a friend to get it installed. I would have to think that it would be quieter since I had no Cat before.

Plenty of members here went with down pipes and not have turbo.

I went headers instead of down pipe , it was cheaper.

So if want, you can get one.
