It will definitly get louder but I would like to know what you mean by "taking them out"? If you mean replacing your mid-pipe with an offroad one then great. But be aware you also would need to get MIL's to trick the computer into thinking your cats are still in.

That is what I meant-I want to replace them. Sorry I need to word my questions right. It is loud already-but I am used to not hearing myself think when I drive. But I think I might just break in my flows first and go from there.

Giving your mufflers a while to "break in" is highly reccomended. The will get louder once they are broken in. Also, a offroad x-pipe will increase hp because you are eliminating the restrictive cats. Anyhows, GOODLUCK!

I would get a Bassani O/R X pipe instead of removing the
cats plus it's illegal to remove the cats.

There is nothing to "break in" on a Flowmaster muffler. All they have inside are metal baffles.
