which is louder

I'm gonna do true duals in Jan. or Feb (finally) and I want to know the loudness difference.

The exhaust i have now is stock with a 3" Flowtech cutout with the QTEC, followed by a Flowmaster muffler. I love the sound of the cutout!!!

This is the true dual setup I'm going to have.
Jet Hot LTs
stock cats
Hedman or Summit 3" X-pipe
Bullit mufflers with turndowns before the axle. (are there different lengths to these mufflers, and how does it effect the sound????)

The reason I'm keeping the stock cats is:
1. California
2. Parents!
3. Don't have the money for Random Tech Cats (will come later)


So with this setup, which will be louder? My cutout on stock everything (which is pretty loud) .......or.......the true dual setup I listed??

Thanks

Jet-hot LT's......will that pass emissions california...??

I think they have smog provisions, but I don't care. I just want to make sure if a cop pulls me over to see the exhaust, that he sees the Cats, so I don't get a ticket. Around here, as long as there are cats and mufflers, you can be as loud as you want and not get a ticket.

True duals,wont be that much louder.Will definately sound better.

True they will be a little louder give or take. but they will sound bad azz awesome. Put some sound clips up when you get it done,

I already have one. Will it get louder with the true duals when I put the Random Tech cats on?

I have a 2000 Z, and I have a few other friends that have LS1s and we have all gutted our cats, sometimes not completly, but it does make it louder, but can be annoying loud. Up to you.

I don't like the raspy soud of the off road pipe (no cats). Same sound if I gut them. With the setup I listed, will that get louder switching from the stock cats to Random Tech cats a few months later?
