Default How well would it be?

I'm thinking of fabricating a 2.5" H pipe all the way to the back beginning right after the stock Cats, over the axle, and having two on magnaflow 2.5" bullets midway on each pipe. Now the question is, has anyone tried this before? would it be louder than stock ? would i get any gains beside that the car would sound better? any input is appreciated. Thanks
Edit: Stock manifolds, no headers.

I'm guessing you have all stock exhaust now? yep, its gonna be louder and have a little more power. Props for thinking outside the box. Not sure of the restrictions or part availabilities there but do a search for f-body duals. Seen I few nice setups. A little visual aid always helps.

I'm really concerned about the loudness, I know it will sound good. I tried searching all over youtube, ls1sounds, no use.

i think that sounds like a waste. it would be louder than stock and i think the only power gains to be had would be from removing the factory muffler.

yeah it will have a nice deep rumble compared to the quite puuur of stock.
Thats close to the setup im doing, Im doing Lt headers, xpipe and 1 magnaflow bullets befor the bumper(over the axle) i have a nice clip of the magnaflow bullets ran all the way back on my other comp ill get the link on here soon

Heres that link.....he has LT headers so his is a little louder than that yours would be.

I'd agree with that also. Thats where your gonna be able to feel real power gains rather than just sound. Im sure just exhaust will open up like 10 horses but with headers maybe 25 ((dont quote me on numbers just a guess-ta-mit))

Thank you for your effort that sounds pure sexy. If it will sound just as good but lower, then i'm totally up for it,

Thanks for the input guys, I'm not in it for the power gain, just need a little bit of sound that's all.
