yes, definately. My setup sounds great. Its loud w/out being ear-splitting, and has a deep tone to it. No matter what mufflers you go with, nothing sounds better than td's imo.
If you want loud all the time, get a cutout. If you want it here and there with the flip of a switch, get an electric cutout. Either will give you what you want in terms of loud, but you got to decide if you want it all the time or whenever you want.

Hello JWHert Hi and btw, Merry Christmas. What everyone forgot to tell you is get a good size cam, about 230/236 110LSA, increase your lift to .570/.570, Vig 3200 stall, jethots w/catted Y-pipe to keep hp off your a***, and then you'll be loud, trust me. That is what I got for my b-day in September and it RoCkS. If you haven't driven a modified F-body, it's like awesome, everything shakes like the engine wants to fly. Having the true duals, cutouts, etc. is ok but a nice loppy cam is number one in my books. Try it, later, Kevin. 
True duals would definately be loud, but I'd wait until you put headers on it to go that route. I put an electric cutout on mine, under the rear pass. seat, and it sounded alot better. But then I wanted it louder, so I gutted the cats and put o2 sims on it, and it's definately alot louder now. Cheaper than TDs too, and I can make it halfway quiet by shutting the cutout off.

I can personally tell u that LT Headers and TSP True Duals Sound much deeper and louder and will wake your LS1 up over the Flowmaster more then u think, i used to have a FLOWMASTER Also but i went LT Headers and True Duals

i am definately going for a cam one day, but for now gas is too high and i dont wanna kill my gas mileage, and im a college student w/ no job
cam is out of my price range for now, thats why i was thinking about td's though, because i hear they sound great w/ a nice agressive cam
what is a cutout?
i know what it sounds like, but im not sure if im thinkin of the right thing

The power band is cut off with the mid length about 4-5k rpm, where as the long tube just keep increasing with the rpms. Mid lengths usually have more torque on the low end and power decreases as the rpms increases. I hope this answers your question. Later, Kevin.
thank you, which kind tends to be louder
i have a stock ws6 w/ the flowmaster muffler, that is all, if i went w/ true duals what all would i have to buy? brand names would be nice
i have no idea what im talking about when it comes to this, i just know fbods can sound badass and i want mine to
If it was me, I'd probably get Pacesetter LTs, a Dr. Gas X-pipe, and two mufflers of your choice. Personally, I like the sound of 1-chamber Flowmasters. There are lots of choices as far mufflers goes.
