Default Can I do this?

Alright I do not know anything about cam's but I have a DD 01 T/A WS.6 with flowmaster catback with a 3 inch cutout. I like the sound but I want it loud when it is idle as well. Can I just get a cam to put on my car and will this make it louder? Thanks to whoever helps me out and suck it to those that tell me to do a search.

If you want louder, get some long tube headers and an ORY.

Lopey idle. Also, a cam swap isn't meant for enhancing exhaust notes, it's intended for engine performance...

Yeah, some long tubes and no cats would make it louder at idle even.

You make it seem simple to get all of that. I don't even know where to start and how much it will cost

Headers:

$300 + shipping if you're fine with black. Add another $100 if you want armor coating.

ORY:
http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...9af58f2a97e8e1

$137.99 + $7.99 for shipping

Totals to less that what a cam, cam install, and tune would run you.

Yes, and I might get bashed for saying this but it is too loud in my opinion.
I only uncap the cutout at the track. If not I can't hear my wife in the passengers seat. Maybe that is a good thing.

Believe us when we say longtubes and off road y-pipe is loud. Throw a loudmouth catback on it and your there. I'm with jp74 with the noise though. It does get old after awhile. Just my opinion though.
