Default Will true duals make a big cam sound bigger?

I have a TR 230/224, and Hooker ORP and catback currently. If I were to go with true duals, would my cam sound bigger than it does now. In other words, do you lose some of t he "cammin" sound because the headers merge into one, then back through single exhaust? Or will true duals just be louder, not different ?

Does any of this make any sense? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Yeah it will sound more sick.

Why not put some passes on the car before you do any more mods on it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Would FLPs, high flow cats, and the Loudmouth bring out the sound in a 224/.581/112 cam? Would it make any difference if I was to switch from the high flow cats to the off-road pipes? Thanks

Here's a C5 with LT headers, OR X pipe, and Borla Stingers. Should give you a idea of what true duals sound like.

Right click the link and hit "save target as".

Here is a video sound clip of my car at idle, and a little 1-2 WOT run.

Not only are they louder, but they are different.

i see it making it louder. true duals will overdramatize the sound versus a catback so if thats what you are wanting then go for it, you can always revert to a catback if you're not satisfied but i doubt that you wont be. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
