Default How loud would Longtubes w/TD's be compared to a Longtubes ORY w/ cut-out...

I have got a real good deal on a Texas Speed True Dual System, but I want to know if it will be louder than my longtubes, with a 3"ORY, to a cutout? Also would I be able to tell a difference in power (how much hp gain)? Please share any experience you guys have had with this. Thanks.

On my old camaro I had lanes 3" with dumps, trex, long tubes, no cats, and two street pro electric cutouts for noise. When the cutouts were open it was LOUD. Through the dumps it wasnt that loud.

the duals resonate quite a bit inside the car but sound extremely good outside the car...duals are my favorite

My buddy has pretty much the same car as mine but with ORY and B&B exhaust. Mine is a little louder but it sounds so much better. He hates me becuase of it. There is little to no power difference in the two. I think that I am making 5hp more. Mine are out the back so there is no drone inside the car. Hope this helps.

How bad is the drone w/ TD's at cruising speeds, like 80-85mph?

Depends on how the TDs are done...I only get resonance on mine when you really load the engine (like going uphill @ 60 MPH in 6th gear). Then again, mine go out the back...muffler choice has a huge impact on that though.

That's gonna be very loud. You'll love it at first. It may get old after a couple of months. I'm one of those who went from Y to X and back to Y again, and I can honestly say, I'm gonna stay with Y. I have dual cutouts in the Y and with them open, they're louder than ANYTHING I've heard coming out of a stock ci. LS1. With them closed, the car is very tame and does not resonate or drone.

the mufflers will not give you that much hp but the headers will give about 25-30hp. But it should sound good
