lsx 408 rwhp...is this good?
Lemme put it this way...
Kooks true duals, uncatted 3". Somehow, I think they are louder than straightpipes. I was public enemy in my neighborhood for a while. Idle was about 115 dB on a dossimeter. Apparently you could hear it idle inside houses a block away. At 630AM.
I cut the kooks bullets off and installed a set of chokemaster DBX bullets, which were the quietest bullets I could find and still get laminar flow. Now, it's "only" 90 dB at idle.
Catted, I think would cut another 5-10 dB out. Adding a set of resonators before the axle would help a lot, but my neighbors all said they were fine with what I did.

I had to go back to post 1 for the numbers, but looks like your old exhaust was really choking it back:
571/541 vs 520/497 look right to you?

GAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Your motor makes more than 571. Probably 580-585. He stopped pulling before it even peaked. You were going to hit peak power at 6300-6500, and the pull stopped at 6100.
Seeing this a lot lately where they stop the pull early. At least spin it to 7K and see how it carries past peak.
