Exhaust question
I'm new to the C6 and LS platform, so please be patient. 
I have a 2012 GS.
I am installing CAI, cam, push rods, truniun upgrade, Kooks 1 7/8 headers and X pipe with no cats, but I am going into the stock axle backs.
I like the relatively quiet sound of the stock mufflers opposed to the noisy aftermarket setups.
My question is, is this common to do?
I mean, I know most people like the loud pipes, but are there folks that do it the way I want too, and does it rob HP from what I would normally gain on an aftermarket setup?
Thanks in advance.
