Default Will this be too loud for me?

I just want it to be a little louder than it is now. its gonna be lts with ory into single 3" pipe with a 14-18" bullet into a 30" magnaflow then pointed down before the rear axle. the wife doesnt want it loud. i do, but i dont want it to be hard to hear someone talk inside the cab. or have cops look at me when i go by. i want it to sound good but not attract to much attention basically.

also im going to the track in dec. with my friend that has a hemi. im hoping with the full exhaust that ill run atleast a 15.2. what do u guys think?

I think that should be pretty subtle....
i had stock manifolds, no cats, and a 14" Magnaflow and it wasnt bad at all...
I know LTs are goin to change that a little... but with a bullet and that big magnaflow,, i think it would sound pretty mean cruising around... and scream when you hammer on it..

As long as you keep the turn downs close to the rear axle you should be fine. I have LTs and ORY, no cats, and a single chamber Flowmaster turned down at the corners of the bed and it is really loud at take off but at a good cruising speed there is no drone at all. Here is a vid of mine.

thanks guys.. the only reason y i dont want it over the rear axle is bc exhaust shops around here think that its just for sound so if they have to route it around something they crimp it pretty bad. i just want one nice straight pipe close to the rear axle..

oh and btw.. nice sounding truck in that vid.
