very different. I'm assuming an x pipe and leaving the cats in the car? It will help reduce the popping of the exhaust upon deceleration, and make it sound quite different...But with the Z06 exhaust you probably won't hear too much of a difference

I would say smoother but not really louder or quieter, hmmmm, make sense?? I noticed a big change when i added MF X pipe to my MF cat back....much smoother sounding, maybe less raspy also applies.
