well like ive previously stated, i will get more mods to get the car to actually put out as opposed to it just sounding loud, i jus want people to know that the car is bad *** and i mean business, and usually a loud *** car puts the message out there....lol

The cheapest way to make the car loud as hell is to cut the muffler off and jam a crowbar through the webbing in the cats.

Really all you want is no cats and no mufflers. That will make your car obnoxiously loud for sure.

Cut outs for sure. They are suppose to be bad on ls1's, and i deff wouldn't run them in cold weather. But if your car is a dd you wont want it to be as loud as you do right now. Cut outs are the best of both worlds because when you get tired of loudness you can just slap them back on or flip a switch. Loud exhaust tends to discover alot of rattles and squeeks your car never had as well.

You cant go wrong with pacesetter headers, dual cutouts would be alittle pointless since its a Y pipe. I personally after owning a ORY and an H-pipe would never go back to the ORY. Y pipes have a tendency of popping alot. You would be much better off to have a shop build a H or X pipe and put a set of delta flows on it. I normally dont like flowmasters but the delta flows have a real nice sound and i get complemented on the sound of my car almost every time i meet a f-body guy, and they are loud. If you are thinking about keeping it mostly stock magnaflows sound pretty good but not for high hp apps. And you could still do dual cutouts for when those wild hairs emerge. Check out some sound bits of different types, that may help you with your decision. Good luck

Easiest way to become obnoxiously loud: keep your girlfriend in the car at all times and drive really fast. See how obnoxiously loud she gets.

Just get a single electric cutout. You won't gain any extra power over just one cutout and will save yourself $200 plus labor if you can't weld yourself.
