compared to stock...yes

compared to the LM1....not so bad.

i ran a dynomouth setup on my cammed/LT/catless setup and it was very tame around town.

summit sells a 24" bullet that gives a bit more muffling than the short dynomax bullets. or run 2 dynomax bullets in a row.

on my old 00 Z28 i ran hooker LT + ORY + LM and it was definitely crazy loud.

now i have an 02 Z28 with pacesetter LT + ORY + magnaflow and it does sound alot better.. im cammed as well. but its not loud to me at all. ive actually been thinking bout switching back to a loudmouth. but i remember how unbearable it was to drive with it..but i did love the loudmouth at WOT!!!!!

GMMG. I've ridden in a car with a LM1 (without headers/ory) and it had more drone then my LT/ORY/GMMG.

The GMMG has a loud idle and loud as HELL WOT. But cruising it really isn't all that bad.

well i don't think it could get any louder with another cat-back so if you're looking to quiet it down you can't do anything but improve. i'm currently running a LM1 on a 402 car and its stupid loud. magnaflow was recommended to me by a sponsor to quiet it down. if you do like it loud at times i would look into a cut-out too.

I was in the same boat... LM1 + LT's + ORY does =

I ended up having the LM1 after the axle where it splits up cut off... put a magnaflow in it's place... I kept the LM resonator in the I-pipe though...

here's an idle video...

I went from LM1 to TSP true duals, then to magnaflow, and now I have corsa. I think the corsa is the best sounding exhaust for these cars.

If it wasn't for the rasp and being so loud, I would have kept the corsa muffler. I am glad I have the slp dual/dual because once heads and cam go on, the corsa would have been WAY too loud, but more importantly, way too raspy as well.

Other than the loudness and rasp, the corsa is great. Awesome tips

I have the quad tip magnaflow system with corsa tips IMO its the best of both worlds it has a really good tame sound

I didn't really like the big magnaflow tips, now I am really happy with the corsa tips on the magnaflow

Oh yeah I had the LmII system got tired of the noise and put a borla xr1 muffler on it


That helped a good bit, but It was still too loud for me, so I got the magnahoe system
