So how loud is LT's, No Cats, No Res, and No Mufflers..
I allready have a SF H Pipe and a muffler delete and it sounds great, volume is a little loud but I still like it. I'm debating adding some LT's with offroad mids... how bad will it be ?

I have cutouts on my mids with no cats and pacesetter headers and lets just say its damn loud. Not something I would want to cruise around with 100 percent of the time.
Let's see... what you're saying is you want to take two large-diameter 10' long steel tubes and fire off a few thousand explosions per minute at one end with nothing inbetween and you're wondering if it will be loud at the other end.
I'll have to think about this one and get back to you.

During the installation, I fired up my car in the garage with open headers. My wife's mother (who was visiting for dinner) ran out to see what was happening because things were falling off the wall.
I'd have to say it will be slightly quieter than that. It will probably rattle your teeth.

It seems like no one on this forum anymore can just give an honest answer without throwing in some stupid smart ass comment.
Anyway, Arthur to get an idea on how loud it would be I have a video of my cutouts. Keep in mind I have pacesetter headers, no cats, no res, and it dumps out at the end of the midpipes. Your setup your looking at probably won't be AS loud but pretty close.
People on this board must have sensitive ears...I have LTs, catless mids, x-pipe and Moroso spiral flows and its not bad at all. The internal noise isn't bad but I'm sure people outside the car don't like it. IMO LTs and catless mids aren't that bad when you go bigger cubes and H/C setups then things start to get loud...

I would check the back of your car. Make sure it says GTO and not GT. If the O is missing you may in fact have a Mustang and that is why it feels slow.
OK the first car in this video has SW LT's, no cats, and SW 3" straight through mufflers, insanely loud exhaust. So loud people do not like to drive anywhere around him when he gets on it. Mine is the second car with SW LT's, no cats, h-pipe, and no mufflers (muffler deletes). It was insanely loud, way too loud. They told me they could hear me coming a few minutes before I pulled in the parking lot. Hellacious resonance anwhere over 2 grand...... I did that for one night, now I have Flowmasters on and am very happy.
LTs, catless mids, and stock catback are perfect. BTW now you are getting LT's again? didnt you just sell some?
Few months ago...
I was going to turbo the car, but life happens. my son got hurt and I had some bills to pay, so the turbo kit had to go bye bye. Responsabilities ya know.

HUH? WHAT? SORRY...CAN'T HEAR YA 'CAUSE THE EXHAUST IS TOO DAMN LOUD!!!! LMAO
Seriously though, might wanna think about how loud po-po will think it is. That may cost you more $$$ in the long run than it's worth. Other than that, I like the way it sounds.

Q: Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane?

Oh gee, sorry. I didn't realize that this question required a lot of thought. And there was an answer buried deep underneath my sarcasm. The answer is "very stinking loud".

MUCH louder. First of all, just putting headers WITH cats will make your car much louder because they dampen out the sound a lot worse than thick iron manifolds. Taking out the cats will take out another place for the sound to bounce around and be absorbed. So again, the answer is MUCH LOUDER. About like... I don't know... firing off thousands of explosions at the end of a 10' long steel tube.

Aww, sorry. I guess I should have been a little clearer in my reply and not tried to highlight the absurdity of the question. Let me ask you, is there any possible way to make an exhaust LOUDER than what he's wanting, short of open headers? So if it's as loud as can possibly be, I'd guess that it's going to be much louder than before when it wasn't as loud as it can possibly be.
Just to join the fray......my setup is in my sig. Pacesetter LTs, catless mids, glasspacks. I don't think my exhaust is too loud.....windows up or down........around town or idle or whatever. I love it. And to those who think having cutouts will be a comparable sound, you may want to think again. Cutouts, when open, will be quite a bit louder than my setup.......regardless of your driving. I rode around in my car with open headers (nothing connected from the collector back) for a few miles while driving to the exhaust shop.....so insanely loud. Cutouts are quieter than that, but still obnoxious. You'd be surprised what that extra couple feet of metal tubing can actually do for sound ampening purposes.
