Anybody run a pacbrake w/no muffler/cat?

Dont know if this is better for High Performance or Engine/Drivetrain forum. Did a search and saw similar topics in both.

I installed a PacBrake PRXB on my 07 w/5.9/auto. When the Pac Brake kicks in, I can hear the exhaust noise caused by the brake, but just barely. I have factory exhaust with a muffler delete pipe but the cat is still installed.

My question: If I replace the cat with a test pipe, will the exhaust brake sound be more noticeable?
