The loudness/sound of your exhaust will be solely dependant upon the muffler. I have tried many different mufflers on many different trucks...most of which produced a drone in the cabin which was really tiring and annoying over time. I am on my second Titan, and will modify the exhaust the same way I did on my first, which was to retain the stock muffler (which sounds fine to me), and to run a Y after the muffler which dumps into dual exhausts exiting out the rear of the truck.As for performance, there are some very knowledgeable exhaust experts who will tell you that if you are running a cat-back system, the amount of performance increase is negligible, and in some cases, actually hurts performance because of reducing back pressure. Seems our Titans need backpressure to run at their best. The most significant gains in performance come from installation of a true dual, TUNED exhaust system designed specifically for the Titan, which runs from the manifolds....not cat-back. And let's not forget that if you really are seeking additional performance, in addition to opening up the exhaust, you also need to install a less-restrictive air intake system.
