Default Too Loud?
How do you people complain about it being too loud? I am running tru duals, no cats, on a cammed car...it's too quiet. I had open headers for 5 months, was still too quiet. Yes, I drive my car, everyday....

Soo, who else never thinks it's loud enough?

My car isnt loud "yet" but I dont think it would be possible to make it too loud for me. When I'm driving what do I need to think about anyway?

I'm not a big fan of open headers or cut outs at WOT (used to have them). but man, if you got a cam and open headers that lope sounds like pure evil spewing out your motor.

i love the way my car sounds especially at WOT. when you have a very loud car people notice. which is good and bad just remember cops have i ears to and nothing says pull me over like a young guy in an extremely loud f-body. not to mention some people just look at you like your insane.

i love the sound of a camed car with open headers, but for my DD i'm sticking with LT's and a catless H-pipe with single chambers dumped. i'll probably add a cut-out too.

....my cammed car with cats and hooker cat back is way too loud.

The longer you drive it the more it bothers me. I have one of the first Hookers (5 years old now) which is much louder than the newer versions.

I wish I had my stock cat-back back (no pun inteded)!
