Where at in VA? I'm moving back to chesapeake in two weeks if you are around there and you can wait that long to hear it in person. We have similar setups so it should be pretty close in sound. I'm waiting on my injectors to come in, there was something wrong with my stockers. They were at over 140% duty cycle at 5000 rpm, that is no bueno. I am assuming that they are extremely dirty because we had 58 psi at the rail and then at that rpm it was 55 or so. I havent got to drive it, but in the garage with the dumps it rings the **** out of your ears on a dyno pull

I am running a nominal 224/228 110lsa w/ LT's, cats, and Bassani dual exhaust. It is loud. Your proposed setup will be louder. Cruising on the expressway w/ windows up I definitely have to speak louder than normal to carry a conversation. "Loud" is subjective though. Ride in some cars w/ different setups.

I got SLP LTs, 3" Xpipe, and sweet thunder mufflers dumped at the rear. I loved how the car sounded with 12" extensions off the headers, theres nothing like no mufflers. Now i want to change out the sweet thunders to probably bullets or anything else thats louder, maybe even straight pipes out the rear. The one chambers are some real nice sounding mufflers.

What's loud inside the car is subjective. I can have a conversation with the dumps in my car with the windows up. My friend's C5 with the B&B Bullet catback only is IMO just as loud, but if not as loud, has a good bit more drone.

It won't be bad at all...get some turndowns on there angled outwards if there's a little droning inside.

I have the 3" TSP duals now, and theyre waaay quieter than my previous Loudmouth/ORY setup. People always tell me my exhaust is loud, but its not to me.

You also got to remember in videos things aren't as loud as they are in person. Also everyone has a different taste, what you may think is not loud enough is loud as hell to other people. Me i loved it with open headers, i felt like i was driving the C6.R most of the time.

When I switched from the ORY/LM1 to the duals, my cars felt much stronger in the lower/mid rpms and a little stronger on top. But im not sure as far as gains.
