Question Will this be too loud for a daily driver?

Pacesetter LT's w/ (still looking for X-Pipe 3inches) and two 3in Dynomax Magnum Race Bullet Mufflers (18 inches long).

If you guys could recommend a x-pipe, I would really appreciate it.

The entire system will be 3 inches and exit under the axle and out the back. I don't really like the big chambered mufflers (pretty tacky if you ask me).

Thanks for any repspones..

Don't know about the 18" bullets but my 12" bullets are LOUD, to me to loud for a daily driver. Some people will say its perfectly fine, but the drone from having them dumped at the axles gets old...........

So is there a big difference from going out the back and dumping at the axles? If the 18 in dynomax are a bit quieter than the 12in ones.. I may have them dumped at the axle and save some money...

Just verifying this before I go ahead purchase these mufflers. They should be pretty quiet if I have them run out of the rear of the car like normal instead of being dumped at the axle..

I have that exact set-up and if it was my daily driver I wouldn't do it. Very loud and shakes the **** outta your car. My car is only driven when I want to go out and have fun though, so its perfect for me.
