I just dont understand one says No sound difference and the other one says extremely loud...

Who I have to trust?
Sorry about that.

Fully stock unaltered SS exhaust wont be much louder if any than the stock exhaust.

An SS exhaust with the cat gutted/removed and the bafflers from the muffler removed will be much louder and most likely not in a good way.

You will honestly gain some hp. Might lose a bit of power downlow... Wont make promises on how it will sound or if it was worth it though.

well the guy had that on his SS sc and he said sound wasnt bad at all and that he kept that a long time to be quiet

and is the tubing of the exhaust of the SS the same size of an LS

+ I still have a resonator it will help it being quiet no?

To my knowledge the exhaust piping size on the SS is slightly larger than the LS.

I,have personal experience on this.

i have the ss/tc catback, bought it with 3kmiles on it for 150$, bought a lsj downpipe for 45$, and im just gonna go with an aftermarket header so after a i get my header all in all, ill spend about 400$ for a full setup, and its amazing cheap full exhaust setup.

im also backed by a 2.4 intake manifold and cold air intake
