What did you expect with 32" of muffler? lol
Headers will make it a little louder, but you might want to take one of them off.

I just took my flowstopper off as well but running the stock y pipe open. Not as loud as I expected it to be but still sounds great with a performance gain.

I've had 3 Magnaflows, and they always get louder after a few weeks. Magnaflow might say this won't happen, but it does.
