Before/After LTH's Question

Currently running with the muffler delete option. How much different (louder) would it be with lth's? Sounds great now, especially at wot, but I'm thinking it should have a little more authority!

I did the muffler delete first and then LT with HF cats and its much louder at WOT. However, cruising at 70 mph (manual trans) isn't much louder than just muffler delete.

Sounds like this combo may attract a bit more attention than I want. It looks like I may have to research mufflers. Guess the only way to know is to put on the headers, hear how it sounds, and go from there.

I'm running no mufflers no cats and lts. It's only really loud at wot. When you're cruising it's not loud at all especially if you are switching gears at lower rpms. I can't wait to get a cam to wake the car up at stop lights.

I would probably try it first and then try to realize is this something I would want driving everyday, you want authority try an LS3 Polluter Cam!

I've ran Lt headers with a muffler delete for over a year and I love it. Ive had many compliments not one complaint. Its really not loud inside the car during normal driving. And when you want to feel good about your self go under a overpass get on the throttle and release to hear fireworks. My .02 anyways

THIS!

I am running LT Headers, HF Cats and muffler delete.

I will admit, it's pretty raspy but at WOT HOOOOOLLLLYYY SH** is that sucker LOUD! I mean you'll be turning heads EVERYWHERE.

Overpasses will increase permagrin by about 100% for a good 5 minutes.

Not to mention, cold starts are pretty cool too but if you aren't familiar with how raspy it can be, listen to it during a cold start and you'll know exactly what I mean.

I'm looking for either Borla Atak or Flowmaster Outlaw catbacks next.
