Listen to mine and imagine it 40% quieter. Actually better one yet, I bet it will sound like the way my 11" bodies not broken in with true duals, and all stock cats

As long as your rear O2s are mounted after the hi-flow cats you'll be alright.

You'll get a CEL since your rear cats burn exhaust gases. Your pre-cats resonate sound. On 04s & 05s its the exact opposite.

You can still get hi-flow cats, and remove the pre-cats.

yeah that sounds just a little too loud for what I want! I think that I will be happy with a 14" magnaflow with 2.5" duals!

I'm not sure but I know I was not trying to get on it so people could see what it sounded like in everyday driving.
