Default interior noise after headers w/ cats?

Ok, i've been searching for three days with no luck....how much louder/different is the exhaust noise inside the car after long tubes w/ catted y? i've got a magnaflow catback already, and i'm eying the pacesetters/tsp catted y pretty hard with intentions to lower it a little next summer. I'm just trying to get a feel of how much or if it will be louder on the inside afterwards. thanks guys

It is a little louder, theres no denying that. But, its not near loud enough to detract from the gains of the LT's. Even with a little added noise, I would guess that you'll be happy with the headers.

I put hooker LT's and the only difference was when I shift from one gear to the next. I can hear the back preasure. I didn't like it at first but it sound decent now. Also I had SLP loud mouth and it was way to loud without cats. I then went with SLP's loud mouth 2 and it sounds pretty good. You will like the extra GO and will be able to live with the little things.

The noise increase is not that big, you will notice a lot more things rattling than interior noise increase. Just my .02¢
