Default New guy with a few longtube ?'s

Recently I bought a 02' WS6, it's an auto, 26K miles, runs well for a basically stock car, 13.30's in the heat here. It has a corsa cat-back, my 2 questions are if I add long tubes and a y-pipe w/ random tech. or other cat's, will I gain a lot of added interior exhaust noise? And will I lose much if any throttle response?

I already have a drag car so I want to keep this car civil, I'm considering adding the headers, will add 125hp wet shot, a very mild coverter when the tranny goes south, that's probably about it. Thanks for the help.

I would think that if you keep cats in the Y increase in noise will be pretty small.

It all depends on the catback. I'm running a stock catback with my LTs and ORY and its very quiet inside that car.

Thanks for the replies. Not so much worried about exterior noise, more the drone factor.
