Will I attract cops from a mile away accelerating of the traffic light with normal traffic flow? In comparison to a typical aftermarket cat-back setup, is it much louder, just as loud, not as loud?
I don't mind it being loud at WOT, but it should not be annoying or tiring during normal driving. It's my daily driver an I put on 15k miles per year.
Again, its an LS3 base exhaust, and I have an CAI intake.
Thanks in advance!

I have this exact setup. 2014 LS3 was all stock, i put a CAI intake on it an did a muffler delete. i like the sound alot better an it isnt too loud, there is a little more drone than stock but not too much and i cruise at 80 most of the time an you can talk to someone in the car or on the phone fine. i wana get shorty headers an high flow cats eventually but i think il have to get some kind of muffler when i put those on cause it would be too loud with headers HFs an nothing after that. im in cali i cant have police wondering about my car everytime i pass them. but even with just a muffler delete when i start it up people think i have "hot rodded" the car or have some fat exhaust system when its just stock pipes with no mufflers so overall i think youl like it. a little more decel pops than id like but you can kick in the clutch or neutral it an eliminate that
