Compared to a stock exhaust,hell yes it's loud!Running headers without cats,It'd be a real ticket magnet.Driving down the interstate in 6th would take some getting used to,but would be bearable.

Is is alot louder then stock. You do hear it on the inside, but I love it! I upgraded my whole stereo so it doesn't take much to get the music over the sound. Everytime I have a passanger they always say they love the sound of the exhaust. If you want a quiet interior, don't buy this.

I personally didn't care for the drone in the cabin, and switched to a WS6 exhaust with cutout. I had tried to combat the drone with a double layer of brownbread in the trunk and some resonator tips. Those helped, but it was just too irritating for a daily driver. But there are plenty of people who run this sort of combination and love it. If you are having second thoughs, then I wouldn't do it, you will most likely regret it.

Not that loud in the cabin. I was asking the same questions as you and was nervous. After the install, I was very happy. Good Luck

It's not crazy loud.It is loud under throttle inside the car.I wouldn't put it on a daily driver,unless you want a free ultrasound on your brain.

I wouldn't even consider driving an LS1 LM w/hangover. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I have a 6 speed, and leather interior, and it is loud as hell under a load a certain RPMs. My friend's, with cloth interior LS1 6 speed with the Loudmouth is much quieter than mine... Wierd... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Anyway, I love the way mine sounds, I still have cats, but a bigger Y-pipe. I love it 95% of the time. For a long trip, it sucks... When you have a headache it REALLY sucks!
