    I was wondering if I removed the rear cats will it make my exhaust quite a bit louder or barely noticeable?
    I want to free up my exhaust alittle more but mostly make it alittle louder.. thanks for any input! I dont want to do this if it wont change the sound any
    Thanks!

    Yes, it will make it louder. How loud will be determined by what muffler you have.

    On my Audi, I removed all of the cats and ended up not getting aftermarket exhaust because it sounded so good.

    Aside from being illegal in most if not all states, I don't think you'll notice any gains in horsepower. If sound is all you're after well yes it will sound louder, obnoxious most likely as well. IMO its hard to get a V6 to sound good. It takes a very well designed exhaust system to make sound nice and most will be pricey. Most of the six bangers I've listened to with aftermarket mufflers slapped on at a local muffler shop sound horrible under acceleration.
