what does it take to make a LLY duramax as loud as a LB7? I have both with a straight pipe and the LB7 is much louder.

Will removing the cat really make that much of a difference? I just ordered the dynomax pipe from summit racing in hopes of it being louder. I hope it works.

you removed both the cat and muffler? About how loud is it with both off compared to LB7? I have my muffler off and the cat is about to go, so I hope it makes it louder. I have asked this question about making it louder, but nobody had that many ideas. Like you said on my 2002 LB7 with a straight pipe, it sounded like a semi. Edited by: codythom

I have figured anything out yet but i suspect that the EGR on the new LLY engine has something to do with it
