RB Street Header -> Straight Pipe -> Flowmaster? Will it be too loud?

I have been messing with my exhaust for a while and at this point am at the above setup but with stock tip instead of a flowmaster. Yes i do have a pick up tube for the Aux ports.
I plan to put on a flowmaster for the tip, most likely a 40 series but am worried of it being too loud. the stock tip is nice but has the bottom rusted thought and its just a massive leak. and after 3 shot stock mufflers im going to try something new. i can get a new 40 series for about $40 so that my plan.

Its absolutely insane without a tip and im worried about the flowmaster not muffling it enought to be legal or atleast close to it.

in my nicest words. it's going to be ******* insanely loud. Plus Flowmasters can't deal with the pounding pulses of a rotary or the heat and in about 6 months you're likely to blow the insides apart and it'll sound like absolute ****. I learned this lesson 10 years ago. Flowmasters and rotary should never be in the same sentence let alone paragraph.
