bowtiegirl, if you want it as loud as you can get it...cut off the cats and go with long tubes and a set of 1 chamber flowmasters with dumps....will be loud as hell...and sound very nice

Flowmaster sucks. Go with the Corsa.

Probably around $600 or so. But well worth it. As far as you wanting it as loud as you can get it, you'll get tired of it being too loud at idle and cruising. But with the Corsa, it's relatively quiet at idle and cruise, but gets loud real quick with acceleration.

You could just have the stock muffler cut off and have strait pipes ran out the back. Then cats would act as a muffler. I think you would get tired of all the noise though pretty quick, I gotta go with the other guys and say order you a catback kit from either corsa or dynomax. They are moderately loud when you floor it but you can still hear your stereo/cell phone the rest of the time.

I have just the cat's on my 5.3, true dual with 4 inch tips. I love the no muffler sound, but in your case being that you have the 8.1, i'd say run a muffler. I have a friend with the 6.0 running no mufflers, and it's a little too loud. He cant even git on it around town, plus it will probably help you performance-gas milage wise too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
