Default How loud

How loud do you think this setup would be. Magnaflow round muffler 2.5" in/out with 2.5" piping all the way back to 3.5" tips?

I think it would, if you deleted the resy, deleted the cat....added a down pipe, it would be loud as hell! But the mufflers is where's its at!! chambered mufflers are always loud as hell. With this set up I think, well let me just give you a sound scale from 1-10!!
your set up on fly by: 7.8
your set up on idle: 4.5

Also are the Super 44's louder or just deeper than the 40's?

louder and deeper. I don't think they'd sound good on a V6.

That's what I was thinking. How do you think that setup will sound? How loud do you think it will be?

I have super 44's !Res, 3 in piping all the way back and a catless DP.....its loud for sure. Louder than some like, but I'm used to running cars dumped before the rear seats, so its fine for DD duty for me.

Dude they dropped the ball for me. Sent me the wrong sizes of the muffler I wanted and then claimed that the correct one sent arrived when it never did. I borrowed a buddies 20" stick off his GTO and while it was loud, it was wayyyyy to raspy.

The large pipe work and the larger tail pipes will make the system loud regardless of which muffler you choose sans factory/factory replacement.
