Default Lm vs Td Loudness

I want to go true duals with st's. Are the st's louder than the LM? If so, how much more loud are the true duals w/st's than the LM???

Currently I have cats and no headers. Some LT's are coming very shortly. So can the question be answered with cats no headers, and w/headers installed.

I can only assume that the sweet thunder true duals will be run off longtubes, so to answer your question...........it's gonna be hella louder than stock manifolds/cats/loudmouth. Even if you decide to do a catted tru dual setup, the headers alone will make it much louder.....but it'll sound badass!!!

It will be louder but more refined until you go WOT then it is just plain LOUD. I went with 24inch sweet thunders to try to get a bit deeper sound. It is a bit tamer than 18inch but at WOT they sound the same.

You can have cats on the texas speed rumblers td setup? If so does it sound better? Im kind of looking for the LM sound or a sound like what a mustang(sorry) sounds like. I just want a nice sick sounding setup.
