Might be a little quieter if you just removed the stock muffler and kept it a rear exit system. Otherwise it probably isn't gonna be much louder than the open cutout.
The cutout goes in after the headers merge. Right off each header is a catalytic converter. So a true straight pipe would eliminate these converters and be right off the headers and would be much much louder than these cut outs. These cut outs serve a little bit more grunt but IMO are not worth the money for the little amount of sound you receive. But it's probably enough for these old men
