Default Does anybody run o/r x pipe with side exhaust???

I have cervini side exhaust and was wondering how much louder it would be with an off road x pipe. I really want a msd 2 step but can't do it because of my stock catted h pipe. Does anybody have experience with side exhaust and off road pipes? Do you think it would be too loud?
I am young so I enjoy the noise, but if your guys think it would be an irritating loud than let me know.
Also, if anybody has a video with o/r x pipe and side exhaust please upload it.
Thanks

Question, do u have the pypes H pipe or stock? Next, how much does the side exhaust affect the sound, meaning have you listened to the car with no mufflers? No mufflers sound basically like SLP loudmouths or boom tubes. If the side exhaust does a good deal of muffling, then an o/r x pipe will make it much louder but likely still okay. If the side exhaust is nothing more than an M80 silencer then it will be crazy loud with the o/r x.

I started with stock H and SLP which sounded awesome, then switched to pype mid muffler system and stock H and it sounded more classic. Then did kooks LTs with high flow x and mid mufflers and it was insane loud! So I put the Corsa sport AB on with the LTs and hi-flow x and that was the best. Thanks to CA, I had to go back to stock manifold and H pipe and only have the Corsas. It sound good and clean but not very loud.

I think I have the stock h pipe. I believe that the cervini exhaust is a cat back system, although I'm not sure.
And the side exhaust really affects the sound because it is right next to your ear. It is loud, but not too loud....YET!
I will try to make a gopro video of the exhaust tomorrow.

I don't know Maryland laws, but I wouldn't want to roll up next to a cop with an off road x-pipe and side exhaust.

You might want to wear ear plugs when you drive. You may end up with hearing loss with that setup.

Thanks for the input. And yes, Maryland requires catted pipes. I just wasn't sure how much louder it would be because I really want a 2 step but can't run it with cats.
