If you really want to know how loud it is with you driving it find a bridge/overpass and right before you go under it slap it in first and nail the gass. You will then know how loud it is..

You nailed it. Just from the past couple of days it has gotten a little louder. Sounds good but still a little on the quiet side. OMW to getting Headers/ORY. Hopefully soon.

What he said. My Loudmouth and LT headers can be heard in the next county at 5 grand... Sounds like a NASCAR after the Predator tune.

Yeah, that's why I have my Magnaflow and a cutout. LT's and cats are going on eventually and I'll still have that setup. Loudmouth and a cutout sound very similar and you really limit yourself with that catback, you can't just cap it whenever you want.
