longtubes would be worth it, shorty's arent. as for how loud, it all depends on your muffler choice

as far as I know bbk doesn't make longtubes for the V6, so maybe you got shorties? And I don't think they would make a huge difference with the stock exhaust, shorties that is because lt's don't fit on the stock exhaust (to the best of my knowledge). So SC5 idk what headers you have on yours. And go with lt's man.

You sir, have been greatly mislead. Take some pics of what you got so we can tell you what it is.
