Default How loud will this be?

Ok, so I'm stuck here in cali, so I'm also stuck with the stock cats. I'm thinking about fabbing up some true duals after the cats w/ dumps before the axles. Here's the thing though, I think I want to try this without any mufflers at all, I'm thinking the stock cats will make it quiet enough. So what do you think, will it be too loud?

Well, decided to go another route, I found some gutted stock cats I'll bolt up in place and run a muffler, then just swap out the cats for inspection purposes.
