sorry, but had to add something.. as in sound, imagine if you detached the exhaust system from the headers down. That's how it'll sound like. I'd imagine I'll sound like a full blown race car with the right cams.
(-:
I'd advise you only open it for race nights/days only, because for daily driving it can be pretty insane. Though I did drive with mine open all the time just for shiets and giggles...

.. well, I finally bit the bullet and am getting them installed now. They are so fat that they may be a clearance problem but they are gonna be angled as much as possible without obstructing the fitment too much or messing with ground clearance (speed bumps, deep parking lots etc.)
.. getting it back within a few hours. Mated with the new 4.10s/race tune ,pretty sure this will prove to be the 'best potent budget set up' that nets me a 13s flat this season.
noice.

DAMN! Shiet is loud. lol.
Okay, so it didn't gain as much power as I thought it would, though the sounds is friggin' awesome.. it's loud, it rumbles and sounds like a real muscle car finally.
It's a good mod if you want ridiculous sound, but if you want something subtle and deeper, I wouldn't get it. Low end torque isn't effected too much, though I have 4.10s.
Great power gain overall, though it feels really only like 2-3 whp. It's noticable but nothing spectacular.
Fitment was great and no clearance issues at all. Removing the cap is a breeze and so is getting it of.

I will once I get a proper digital camera...
the sound is simply ridiculously loud. I closed them up as soon as I got home and will only open them up for the weekends or track day. It becomes obnoxious after awhile, not to mention it rattles the whole floor panel right under the seat! lol..

lol trust me. On my old car ( stage 2 dodge neon srt-4) it was night and day, it increased my top end so much that it was nearly a different car. I have full confidence it'll do the same for the GT. I'd expect to loose some low end torque with both the cut outs and the race delete plates, but with the 4.10s and high stall converter I won't be missing out on much- especially with my primary concern with having as much hp as possible during WOT ( on a budget at least lol)
I have a strong belief that coupled with the 4.10s and race plates, it'll have such a strong power band up top that it'll feel like I freed up so much more hp, not from the sound but because it's that much freer flowing with nearly zero restriction.
I still have to wait and see but i am pretty confident with them.
(-:
as far as how loud it is.. it's LOUD. OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD... vids do it no justice.

^ electric cut outs, but they sound the same...
