It depends on the catback. An aggressive catback will be louder. But a less aggressive catback will not be as loud as Long Tube headers with the stock exhaust.

But its also a different sound. A catback exhaust can not duplicate the sound of a car with long tube headers at Wide Open Throttle. Long tubes give a car a very distinctive sound at WOT.
