As long as the noise isn't an exhaust leak, it should get marginally louder due to the increase in flow through the engine. Aftermarket headers are designed to scavenge better than the stockers, so you'd probably hear more from that alone.

More air in = more air out = more noise = bigger grin ....

LT's will make a kind of metalic noise under the hood that you don't hear with shortys.

As for the exhaust db level increasing ..................

Sure ...... your making more horsepower!
