you paid $800 for a catback? lmfao.

Headers alone won't change the sound level....cats is the main determinant of sound levels.

i have a gibson on my truck, i love it. its not too loud, isnt raspy like a flowmaster and will get loud when i get on it. i took the cats off my truck and it didnt get any louder, it only gets louder when i open the cutouts.
