setup too loud? :D i have an F13 cam (230/232, .595/.585, 112+4 LSA) being installed either this week or next, and i'm wondering if you think it will be too loud with my exhaust setup? pacesetter LT's, 3" catted tsp y-pipe, 3" flowtech manual cutout (open), SLP "firehawk" cat-back (slightly better/bigger than stock).
now keep in mind, when i say "too" loud, i mean for my self as i DD the car. i do not care about my neighbors nor do i care about people on the road (other than coppers). i used to run the same setup on my old trans am except it was an ORY, but the motor was also stock.
anyone else ever DD a mild cam with a cutout?

I use to have a very similar setup and drove around with mine open all the time too...Never once got pulled over.... It sounds great at idle but not the best when your part throttle as it gets pretty raspy...

i'm never ever going above 2k rpms 
lol but seriously, i just have to be selective of where i go WOT
how noticeable will the performance increase be on the "butt" dyno? this is the first internal mod i've ever done so i'm not sure what to expect.

I have a Comp 224/224 cam, pacesetter lt's, catted y and the slp dual/dual which i beleive is the same exhaust you have. I just recently put the cats in and it quieted down alot, almost to quiet. Now I kinda of want a cutout. If you close the cutout it wont be very loud at all but with it open I think almost any setup is going to be pretty loud.

yeah as it is now it's def a LOT quieter than when i was running with an ory, just hoping the cam doesn't put it over the top volume-wise. i'd like to be able to cruise around with it open all the time like i do now
