Default Random Tech cats..How much louder?

I'm having the Random tech cats installed and am curious as to what I can expect soundwise? I've got TPIS headers, triflos, xpipes to go with the tech cats..

Thanks in advance,
David

First off, Hello there in Sarasota

i wouldn't expect it to be too much louder, but enough to where you're going to notice it.

If the only thing you're changing is the cats, it would be a littttttle louder.

I do not think you will notice a big diff with the RT cats only since you have headers already. Nice setup I have it as well!

I installed RT Cats and X Pipe with Stainless Works Headers on my 01 Coup. The Car had a resonance between 2500 - 3000 RPM that drove me crazy. Ended up installing the stock center section back on the car with the Headers. Sounds Great now.

Anyone wanna deal on Cats and X Pipe?

I have the same setup on my Z. I never ran it with stock cats, but I'd guess if you already have headers & exhaust, the difference will only be slight. Scott
