hey guys im lookin at making my ss louder.. its running a 2.5 inch exhaust with high flow cat and rear muffler, is it worth taking the rear muffler out or will this be too loud? any ideas would be good thanks.

That depends on your definition of too loud. Sounds like it would be pretty loud already? If you want it louder than what it is currently replace the rear muffler with a 12” resonator… that’ll make it around 20-30% louder

Unbolt the exhaust before the cat. It'll give you exactly what you're after.

if you haven't done so punch out your catylac converter and then weld a 2.5 inch pipe straight throught your cat and take out your rear resonator. that would be loud!!!!!

on my 5.0l patrol i got hsv headers, 3 inch pipe all the way through with high flow staino cat and a big barrel 2 3/4'' muffler doesnt drone like i thought it would which makes me as happy as a pig in sh1t read about 95dp when the exhaust guys checked it! sounds unreal and and turns afew heads when ever i giv it a boot full so my vote is single 3''! cheaper as well!
