It's going to be significantly louder! It shouldn't be too loud, as i was running no cats, lts and stingers and the interior wasn't too bad. But outside the car is MUCH MUCH louder! Enjoy the extra power!
It's hard to explain, but now i'm running B&B PRT's which have less resonance than the Stingers, and although sometimes i forget i have a loud exhaust, i have had to start turning off my motor to order at drive throughs.

I've got quad stingers and LTs. high flows, Xpipe, and I was in the same boat as you wondering.... from experience, my first reaction after I got done with the install and cranking her up for the first time, was "oh crap, I'm going to **** everybody in the neighborhood!" "SShhhhhhh........", I thought as I mentally tried to hush the louder noise.
But, then thats replaced with a really wide grin when you realize this is what you were hoping for!!! Now, I've gotten use to it, and I want it LOUDER, but the wife, kids, friends, neighbors, always say thats enough. You wlll like it. A good bit of difference. Its like letting the beast out of a small cage.

i love the sound, but at highway cruising speed the drone is a little fatiguing. I am actually looking to sell my borlas right now for some z06 stockers. but it does sound bad ***!

With what I'm running for full exhaust in my Sig, I actually thought the drone was gone vs stock for me at freeway/interstate speeds. But, like someone else said; "maybe I'm just going deaf". At WOT pulling out of the local burger joint, I'm sure I get plenty of attention!!!
Whether I needed it or not is beside the point!

It WILL be louder! I had quad Stingers at the time, when I started the car
the first time after the install, I said to myself "what happened?" But
it sounded fantastic! If you enjoy nice engine tone, your going to love'm,
especially at WOT! You'll be looking for underpasses so you can hear that

My sound didn't get much louder...it just changed a little bit. I did not have an xpipe on before the headers. That significantly reduced the burbling and popping. You will either love or hate the sound.
