Default A&A mod ???????

Can someone let me know if the sound is comparable to the Ti's "the AA Mod"? I'm looking at doing something to just add a little more sound, nothing too loud...thanks in advance.
Tony

They are MUCH louder when they are full open. But remember that you can adjust them infinitely between open and closed. "Dial your own sound."

I have LG Long Tube Headers and Z06 Ti exhaust with QTP cutouts... The car has a nice raspy sound with the cutouts closed, but is loud as hell with them open! Best of both worlds!

Since cut outs are basically open, unmuffled exhaust; they are way beyond "a little more sound."

I don't think there is any room for them there. Mine are right behind the rear cradle. I've seen some MN6 cars with TI catbacks that put them in front of the cradle. (Patches car)
Either way, wide open is loud but you can open them part way if you wanted to. My wife says she can hear me get on it 2 miles away. I think she's hearing someone else though.

P.S: cutouts on a 427, no cats...i love it!!!
