Default Texas Speed True dual - pacesetters.. noise level?

Are the noise levels tolerable with this set up? or it assaultive to everyone around? ( loud is ok, but not obnoxious )

Its loud. You will like it at first but over time its a little to much. Friend had that set up then went with a y pipe/catback system. Got to many tickets.

It is damned loud, but i daily drive it just as is. I'm kind of stupid though. I like loud and obnoxious. It seems to keep the ricers at bay.

Is it loud? Way f'n loud, especially if you're using bullet mufflers. Dumped duals make it seem louder than it really is though. While it's really loud in the car (not unbearable), it's not as loud as it would seem outside the car. I raise hell in my car and haven't gotten anything but compliments from people and cops alike. Just a few cops giving me dirty looks, but never been pulled over for it.

Hmm how about a cut-out. Quiet when you want it and that power when you need it, how ingenious!

Sure, they're loud, but they sound SO GOOD!

I've been daily driving mine since January, and have gotten nothing but complements. Also, I'm not deaf yet.

As long as you're not getting in it all the time, you'll be alright.

FWIW, I'm getting my Sweet Thunders this week, probably tomorrow, since everyone says that they sound better than the bullets. From what I've heard, you might want to order them WITH the ST's. I'll post some videos of mine before and after.

Here's a few threads with videos of my car, both inside and outside the car. Mods are in sig.

I've got my carpet gutted, so I'm sure it'll sound about the same. Got any clips?

Instead of the bullets try Magnaflow 4" round mufflers, part #10416. My TD's at cruise are quieter then most LT/catback setups.

I got SLP LTs with a 3inch Xpipe and Magnaflow 4x9's. At idle it sounds nice has a deep rumble to it but not to loud. At WOT people will hear you, its not quiet but not hugely loud. But i enjoy loud thats why im thinking of switching from these to Dynomax Bullets or Sweet Thunder Mufflers either one of the two.

i had that setup and it wasnt loud, it sounded really good but i wouldnt call it really loud, to be honest it wasnt enough for me and i run an x-pipe dumped before the axle now.
