Are you running cats or an ORY? I can't imagine how loud that must be if you're not running cats.

Yes do you have cats or an ORY-pipe?

I had a LM with LT's and ORY-pipe and it was loud, but not extremely loud. More raspy than anything till I got a bullet welded in the I-pipe. Even without the bullet in it still wasn't nearly as loud as my old SS Chevelle 396 with open headers

I went the same route with the Bullet. It helped the sound a lot.

The Flow Techs are a really good headers, I did get the coated ones the quality is good. For the welds that is hard to say for all the flow tech headers out there, but for mine all the welds were sealed up. The fittings all I had to remove is the oil dipsick and the trans cross member to fit the drivers side header up. But that is really it. The passenger side was easy it slid right into place, no starter removed nothing just the dipstick to get to the header bolts. If you have anymore questions let me know

Myself and a buddy's vette both run TTS headers, no cats, x pipe, and (me) loudmouth (him) XR1 over axle pipes, and we both love the sound. Of course his supercharger does scare the hell out of people at wide open throttle
