Headers = Loud?

I had headers, magnaflow spun cats and magnaflows largest muffler and it sounded great. Not loud at all. It was all 2.5" though. I think even 3" wouldn't be too bad as long as it was a full exhaust with full length tailpipes.
V-bands, I have these, really nice with the male/female design.

Similar mufflers isn't exact. Certain variables can have an affect but I build/work on very high HP drag cars for a living and in all experiences the larger the pipe diameter, the more mellow toned the sound but there are exceptions based on certain aspects like amount of bends, etc, etc.

Bigger diameter is louder. Dual is louder than single. This is become slowing down the exhaust gases is what makes it quieter.
2.5 dual or 3.5 single is all that is really needed for most people's trucks. I think many are tempted to run 3 dual. It seems stupid to go down in size compared to all the aftermarket offerings but .... My G8 GXP had 2.25 dual stock and made over 400 hp.
I ran 3" dual but only cause my headers and connection pipe were already 3" and I didn't want to run a reducer. Would have saved money on pipe, easier to work with, easier to clear over the axle in SUV.
