Default How loud?

HOw loud will my car be with a turndown right after the open end of the ORY? Ive heard it will be insanely loud since I dont have cats, but that's what I want. I just want to throw on a turndown at maybe a 45 degree angle and go from there. Does anyone have a setup like this? How are you guys liking it?

It will be extremely loud. The drone would be unbearable IMO and everything would rattle inside the car.

lol, well I have a week to decide what Im going to do. Im going to drive around for about 3 days before the dynotune, so if I like the sound, I'll keep it. If not, I'll throw on full piping straight back with some mufflers

Screw the sound from the exhaust...EVERYTHING in your car will shake and make noise. Before long, you'll probably end up noticing the annoyances inside your car verses the exhaust.
A TD setup dumped right before the rear axle while using 2 mufflers would probably yield you the best results...(still really loud but not as bad inside the car).

When I put my ORY I didn't tighten one side of it to tight. I went to take a test drive and my wife though an helicopter was landing on the backyard. After I came back I tightened and was much better with the stock muffler. I have Borlamouth XR-1 without cats now. It sounds great it is loud but inside of the car is not bad but you would not be able to whisper anything to the person next to you . I would vote for no cats, X-pipe, a pair of bullet Borla XR-1's and turndowns before the axle. My .02

it depends on your taste but it does get annoying after a while.I like exhaust obnoxious sometimes but if your car is a dd like mine gets old.thats why i put a cut out on mine and put a stock sounding exhaust back on cause the cops where cracking down but heres a crapy video of my car with jet hot headers and a 3" TSP ORY i ran it for about a year before changing it..

warning sound isn't that great i was learning how to put video on computer
