The cam really doesnt make a large difference on how loud your car would be. Its more of an exhaust option.

A camshaft isn't loud. The valve events along with your complete intake to exaust determines how the car will sound.

if you want loud, just skip the cam swap and buy a cut out.

That is actually incorrect. As exhaust valve timming is increased and it is opening is sooner the exhaust will get louder and harder to quiet down

a cam has quite a bit to do with the sound of an engine, it can give it more of a thump, a lower tone, make it louder. all kinds of things depend on the cam.
