Default whuch exhaust best sounds like THUNDER.

I currently have slp dual dual on my car which sounds really good with my Long Tubes but i ready to put something loud on my car. my friend has loudmouth but i dont like the sound of it i want something that sounds like deep THUNDER.. IS Borla the way to go. also will the LT's take away from the sound or make it that much more deeper sound.. thanks,,,,,

Borla does remind me of a thunder sound. I've heard the Borla from quite a distance and it sounds good. There is always this T/A with the Borla exhaust that revs up to about 5000 RPM everytime he gets ready to leave from the parking lot. I think the Borla sounds great. As the LTs go, I wouldn't know.

I just converted my Loud Mouth to a "Borla Mouth" and it sounds awesome! My exhaust system is made up of QTP headers, no cats, modified SLP Y-pipe, and LM catback with the resonator replaced with a Borla XR-1 Sportsman Offset muffler.

Borla is tight, very refined deep rumble. Same with GMMG. You're going to pay for what you get, but IMO its more then worth it. GMMG is top of the line, I prefer the sound to Borla, but to each their own. I wouldn't mind having either on my car

I have a BorlaMouth with SLP LTs - love the sound, not quite "thunder-like" but a nice rumble and almost as ferocious as a loudmouth at WOT but without the drone of the LM @ highway speeds

Buy an LT1 F-body.

Sorry, although I've heard some great LS1's, I've never heard one that had that thunderous sound of many of the LT1's I've heard. The GMMG Chambered Exhaust, 4" Mufflex(w/Flowmaster), and a good true dual set-up have the deepest sounds I've heard on the LS1(especially up top). Nothing else really compared...

LS1's just aren't very bassy/deep IMO...

I think this sounds pretty good:

I believe that he has LT's, ORY, and Loudmouth.
