Is everyones car as loud as mine I installed a set of LT's and a ORY this weekend. I have a Borla exhaust with no plates in it. I had a set of shortie headers and a SLP y-pipe with cats. My car is really loud now. 
I had no idea it would make that much difference. It sounds cool as hell at WOT but just cruising around town it makes me feel like I am driving a car and the muffler has fallen off. Is everyones car that loud?

Loud is good, to a point. I like a loud 'muffler' system, meaning it's an aggressive, loud muffler, but still running fully through a muffler to tune the note. Wide open borla or SLP LM is too much, IMO, with an ORY....

Put a plate. That muffler flows very well.

I have KOOKs LTs, with their 3" catted Y pipe, which uses magnaflow high flow cats. I have a 3" Hooker catback as well, the car is real loud. Loud to me anyways. It's just a loud, "tuned" sound I guess you could say. If I had to do it all over again though, I would have gotten an ORY with dual QTP cutouts, and a Corsa catback. After spending 495 on the catted Y, the Corsa + cutouts wouldn't have been that much more expensive.
Damn it all! Maybe if I come upon some money somehow/somewhere, I can redo that setup to get it perfect.

I have the same setup (pacesetter lt's with ORY through open borla) i really like the way it sounds. I thought about putting a plate in after my buddy did, his really didn't get much quiter but it took some of the rasp away, sounds really good. Him and I went WOT almost a mile from my house (out on the access road ((feeder road)) and my sister calls me to ask WTF am i doing. wooooot!
