Default Too Loud???

I currently have a Dynomouth. I have Kooks LT's and ORY on the way.

1. Will this be too loud? Should I look into getting a muffler, If so which one.

2. How much of a gain might I see?
Thanks

WTF is a "custom y out the back"? Explain what cat-back you have, or what exhaust set-up you have, because I am confused.

Sorry.
I had a muffler shop cut out the stock muffler, and replace it with a reverse y to retain the dual tips. Then I bought an 18 Dynomax and had him cut out a section of the I-pipe and put that in. Its a "dynamouth" that was a lot chaeper than buying one. It cost me a grand total of 250 bucks for the work, muffler, and 3"x12" stainless steel tips.

To answer your question.. It will be loud as hell, not to even mention the Rasp..

Either buy a new exhaust or swap your bullet muffler for a Round Borla XR-1..
