I have a 5.3 hoe with a Violent CAI and under-body Ram Air Kit. Does anyone have a similar setup? If so do you have a sound clip or video so I know what to expect? Or can you send me a link to check out the sound.

You can disconnect the exhaust pipe just after the cat that should give you an idea. Basically, it will be loud, raspy and sound like smeared dog crap. If you don't route it out from under your tahoe, it will echo under neath and have drone. If your AFM is not disabled, you wont be able to get it reinstalled fast enough once you hear it in 4 cyl mode.

You can google "straight piped LS sound clip" or something and you might find a video or two. Keep in mind that consumer camcorders distort the sound slightly. Some limit the recorded volume so that it isn't as loud as in person.

I don't have a clip, but I heard what an 05 sounded like. Person deleted the muffler and just welded in pipe where the muffler was, sounded great, Imo. Had a deep throaty burbly sound at idle. I didn't hear it on the road, was a dealer's truck on a lot.
