You will get a SOP difference and YES it will be louder. A tune is needed to optimize it but not required...

Combine the LT's with a good CAI and you'll notice a nice SOTP gain.

Good pick! ARH builds great stuff and it fits! When you install take off your trans crossmember and drop the back of the trans a bit. Didn't have to even take off my oil filter. both sides slid right in.

ARH is top notch.. I want a set bad, but I also want the Kooks TD setup, not sure how much modification will be needed to mate them.

When I first installed my LT's, it just sounded throatier at idle and mild cruise, but when I opened it up and got on it, holy HELL!!!! That bitch got LOUD!!

If I remember correctly the SOTP difference before and after LT's installed on an LS series engine as valuated on the ARSPCK scale is 4b. Not too shabby!.
