Maybe it seem loud because of the convertible and my
Hooker Competition headers part # 2460-1 Fit 82-92 Camaro.
I dont want to get a ticket for exhaust being to loud.

Hooker catbacks aren't loud on stock or near stock engines. Modded motors (especially with cams) will be louder though. What mods do you have?

i got my exhaust almost exactly like yours, and it isnt too loud... its actually quieter than the stock 305 with stock manifolds and y that was in it with the hooker catback before...
of course the 400 has more of a low rumble to it now, and i havent put it to the floor yet cause im still breakin it in, but its not as loud i can already tell...

Put some cats on it. If you don't have to take emissions, who the **** cares? If anything, take off the muffler and put on a Glasspack. Nice and LOUD!!
