i can tell you cause i did it for a few days, its really loud, like with where i live i had to park my car at a 24hr walmart if i was coming home after 10PM unless i wanted to wake every person in the neighborhood, it was loud enough to set off a alarm at a business that me and a few guys were sitting in front off one night, get the exhaust on asap if you dont want to constantly worry about getting a ticket for noise among other things

Depends somewhat on the cam. Do you remember that one guy at some point in your life that was driving a car so loud, it actually made you sick to your stomach? Probably had an iroc,mullet, and mismatched wheels. Just like that. FYI, stear clear of cops, they will nab your ***.

It is really loud. I drove from my house to the store about 2 miles and got pulled over. The cop claimed he heard me from 1/2 mile away. He said that he followed the noise. I got away with a warning telling him I was on my way to the muffler shop. I had numerous thumbs up from mostly older guys and a lot of disgusted faces from the soccer moms! It was great!

It is loud enough that everyone you drive by will cover their ears and flip you off. I did it for about 2 weeks and it took about that long for my ears to recover. However, at idle, it sounded pretty cool, the Ms4 cam lope was awesome. It messed up one of my o2's though.

Yea, its fun to start up and hear and then 30 seconds later you have a headache. So get the exhaust on asap, and yes, you can mess up the 02's and the car will have start up issues idling prolly because of all the fresh air hitting the o2's

Yeah, I ran open LT's for a while. Seems to mess up the backpressure, as well as O2 readings. I wouldn't suggest running it open LT for long if ever.
I suggest the setup I did if you are wanting LOUD...
ORY PIPE w/ Cutout...
NO car has come up to me and won the "Rev Game" with me to date.. Mustangs come close because they are throatier, but at WOT they can't even hear their own car..
Its funny because I had a WS6 pull up next to me and played the game, it sounded like he had a Cherry Bomb Muffler or something... I wasn't amused and waited for the light to turn green... He kept revving on me... Finally I just revv'd back... he looked stunned.. and preceded to make a right hand turn from the middle lane..
