Default If i bought a test pipe... would it make my car much louder?

I have miltek exhaust now with downpipe if that matters. I was thinking of buying ecodes test pipe but have no idea how it would effect the sound. I dont want to increase too much.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecodetuning.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_detail&amp;p=370">http://www.ecodetuning.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_detail&amp;p=370</a</li></ul>

Default Nothing annoying?

I get mixed answers when i do a search. Just want to know for sure. Guess the worse that can happen is that its too loud and i remove it.

If you add a test pipe the sound will hardly be different

Default not at all

I run a 3 inch turbo back system that was custom with only one muffler and it is't that loud. I had an APR exhaust before with a test pipe and it wasn't as loud as the system I have now (with a cat too)
