LS3 TSP LT headers, X pipe, Airaid CAI

1) Texas speed 304 Stainless Steel Long Tube Headers with 3" X Pipe
2) Airaid CAI
3) Muffler delete


With this setup, is it better to install the stock mufflers back or keep it straight piped? which is better performance wise? Will I lose HP with mufflers deleted? and will it be too loud with a lot of drone inside the car?

The car is stock right now with only muffler delete and it sounds badass with almost no drone inside.

sorry for the many questions, I'm still a noob in modding.

With longtubes no cats, and no mufflers, I could only stand the drone about a week. I quickly purchased mufflers and they fixed the problem.

If you look through any of the 10 billion exhaust threads, you'll notice one statement that gets repeated in pretty much every one of them.

THERE IS NO PERFORMANCE INCREASE FROM SWAPPING EXHAUSTS.

What that means is, catbacks or axlebacks are purely a sound mod.
