Default Gutted cats, how much louder?

Just wondering how much louder the car would be with gutted cats. It has LM2 on it btw, and I dont care for the rasp stories. Just wanna know how much louder it will be.

Considerably louder, like maybe 20% at idle and up to maybe 40% at WOT. Just a rough estimate from when i gutted my cats on my duals.

A lot.

And it'll sound like crap.

Want louder and don't care about rasp? Just get a cutout.

I have a cutout with gutted cuts, sounds pretty mean but when you let off the gas and hear all the rasp it sounds like ***. I have been keeping it capped and flowing thru my Borla. But it is def. Louder!
