If you have an LS3, then I've heard that an x-pipe won't increase volume a lot. If you have an L99, I can speak from experience and tell you it will increase volume a good bit. The resonator on the...

Good choice. That low rumble when cruising, and violent scream at WOT is the only music I listen to anymore.

I like my borla system a lot, but agree that they're a bit pricey.

My x-pipe definitely brought about a higher-pitched scream at WOT, rather than a low growl. But being paired with a Borla ATAK system, still has a nice low-pitched rumble at low speeds/rpms.
