Do you have an ORY? You'll get used to the loudness! If you want to hear loud, put a cutout on there!

Hell yeah its loud thats what I've been running for the past few months. At about 2200 it sounds like a machine gun. I just bought my hooker catback hopefully that will quiet it down a bit and it might pass inspection.

Ok talking about loud....My set to be, is going to be Pacesetter header's with a 3in true dual exhaust(Like the Rumbler X from TSP). I will have 2 bullet mufflers off of a 3 in X pipe dumping at the rear wheels.....How loud ya think that is going to be?

Will be home in 27 days, and in 29 days they will be installed!!!
I cannot wait!!

later guys

It will be pretty loud. Add a large cam to that and see what you get. It will sound 10,000 times better than the ORY to rumbler though.
