Even if he did his " homework ", unless you can hear the setups in person you really can't know. You can listen to almost any setup on the computer and they all sound the same and yu can't REALLY tell how loud they truely are. I am running LTs, TDs with xpipe and LM1s and hiflow cats and my car is not loud at ALL unless at WOT. Take a listen for yourself, I was sadly disappointed I didn't get the ballsondo loud factor everyone speaks of from doing my "homework". And I am trying to figure out how I can make it louder cause I'm not pleased with the outcome at all.

cammed car with headers, tsp off road duals with dynomax bullets, dumped before the axle is the loudest, deepest, most badass sounding system I've heard for a ls1 in person

sweet thunders sound like pure sex in the videos I found but the only car I've heard them on in person had stock cam and manifolds IIRC so it lost a lot of that greatness

All bullet style catbacks sound like complete dog **** to me. I had like 3 different bullet mufflers on tell I decided to just go back with magnaflow catback and exhaust cutout. The best sound there is in my opinion. Get a reg catback and put and E-cutout on for when you want it real loud
