Default Hey you guy's with stalls...How much louder did your exhaust get.

Was it very noticable since your pushing a higher rpm down low? I know when my gears were installed (2.73 to 3.73) I really noticed a nice increase in exhaust volume since I'm pushing higher rpms. I'd like to give more revs down low through town without having to go neutral...rev...then back to D...
Make sense? In other words, is it louder now after the stall compared to before with the stock stall?

Seems like it would, since it takes more throttle/rpm to get going. But I don't have a stall yet...I've wondered the same thing.

it will be different for everybody.. since every exhaust system has that sweet spot where the vibration,sound, and drone are all just perfect... I know mine is WOT of course or under a light load... coasting its pretty quiet I guess...

How much louder it gets depends on how far you push the pedal down

My car is just has quiet before the converter as it is after when I want it to be.

Of course I'm not refering to "cutout" difference loud. I mean since you are going to be pushing higher rpms down low, essentially your exhaust revs up more than before making it "louder" So if you have a loose stall your pushing more rpm at a slower speed which creates more exhaust flow=louder? Or am I just way off base here.

Kind of. You can always baby the car. I have a 4K converter and can keep it at 2K or below leaving a light if I really want to.

But generally speaking yes your RPM's are going to be higher with a 4K converter at the same rate of acceleration as they would be with a stock converter.

I had a GMMG when I installed my first converter (3000 stall) and it became noticeably louder in regular driving.

i have a yank ss 3600 with 1 3/4 arh headers with cats. stock daul daul catback. 3.23 gears. the car does seem louder because on a normal start the rpms move to about 3000rpms. i think i notice the sound more on take off then when im up to speed cruising. people think your going alot faster then you are with the stall because it is a little louder. my cars just a sunday driver but if it was a dd i would go with a ss 3200 stall.

This is the correct answer. The exhaust itself doesn't get any louder, but you're going to be running higher rpm's consistantly which means louder exhaust.

Im having a new tranny/stall put in right now.. Ill know what it does friday probably... Ive got dumped 3" dynomax so Ill have some noise for sure.. Ive got some videos before the stall to compare.... I doubt it will be dramatic but I do expect some increase... I do have some serious interior drone when cruising and put it under a little load.... hopefully this increase in rpm will cut down on drone but I expect it to be replaced with some other noise...

Yes...loudness, lol. Especially with dumps. Instead of taking a bit to rev up to say 3k, you'll be there right away.
