yeah it will make your intake loud as hell. i always loved the sound. but you will also take in hot engine air. good for a -1hp or so loss. so its all good man. unless your a serious racer.

my 05 4.7 dak had two resenators.i cut the hole system off and went with the single 3 inch catback. what a nice sound. and without the res. you will see and improvement in low end torque. so go ahead and cut it. then straight pipe it back up. it will be louder but not annoyingly louder
