Need more loud!

As of right now I have a completely stock exhaust with cutouts, it sounds good but I've gotten too used to it and doesn't seem all that loud anymore. I am planning on doing LT Headers and full 3inch cat-back. Will this be louder than my current setup? Thanks in advance for replies.

Yes it will make it louder.

Personally, i'd put the headers on first, then see how it sounds. LOTS of people like the sound of LT's through the stock exhaust. It would be VERY loud through the cutouts.

Once I put on the Long tubes and catback I wont be putting the cutouts back on, that why I wanted to know if that set up will be louder than stock with cutouts.

It will be louder than stock with cutouts but it will sound different as most of the sound will be coming out the back not from the cutout. IMO 3" will sound raspy so choose your catback wisely. If you want pure loud, stainless works retro chambered with the headers. Right now I'm on ARH LT's, magnaflow x pipe, and SLP LM1 straight pipe and its loud to the point where I kinda throttle low because I feel like a do*che

The Stainless Works S-tube mufflers are loud I'm telling you!! It is a very aggressive sound and you would be extremely happy with it.

Change your mufflers to a straight thru muffler.
