Default Should I put a LM before my cut out?

Hey guys, don't know if even this will work or not, . . jus getting a lil bored of the exhaust and don't have money yet for the pacesetters and the h-pipe, and want to spice it up a bit till then , . . would it work? would it sound as good as the "system" or should i save my money, . . .

thanx!

Why would you put a loudmouth before the cutout?

Its very obvious you have no clue whats going on.

A LM is a catback exhaust. All a cutout does is release the exhaust flow right after the headers for a quick HP increase, due to no backpressure. Its supposed to be for the track, but can be great fun on the highway too.

A LM is loud as hell anyways, and its 3" Straight Pipe design is based on having little to no backpressure, so I don't know why you would want both... but to each his own I guess.

toofazt and burnzilla,. . . you don't need to be dick heads about it, . . there was a time where you didn't know about this either, . . no need for that, . . . and it is clear you guys have no idea whats going on, . . the LM is a resonator and not solely a catback system, people have used the LM's on the end of their x-pipe for the sound, . . . . <---- (thats the reason im doin this) not for the HP

i guess burnzilla geared the thread into a negative state, . . and thought you were being shady too, . . i hear ya though, . . . . .

answer to your question is for sound, . jus expirementin with a different setup till the LT's and H goes on, . . (after winter) thinkin the Loudmouth would be an a winner considering how i like my exhaust loud from startup - cruise- wot . . . . . one of my buddies jus got a borla switched into his flowmaster exhaust cuz we were tellin him he was chokin up his exhaust, .. kinda got me wondering . . . . i heard it was a PITA cuz the flowmaster is 3 " piping and the borla was 2.5, . . .

If you can't handle the truth, then don't ask for help.

02TransAm/Batmobile, I say go for it and have the cutout put on it. If you think it gets too loud, then throw the LM on there on put on a different resonator, maybe the new powerpack.

burnzilla, . . and what truth did you enlighten us on? or did you just felt salty and felt like something to get the last word on this?

A LM is a catback exhaust. <---- huh? i thought it was a new type of underdrive pulley???

All a cutout does is release the exhaust flow right after the headers for a quick HP increase, due to no backpressure. <------ what??? i thought a cut out "cuts" flow and adds less horses

Its supposed to be for the track, but can be great fun on the highway too. <----- dammit, . . i hardly drive on the highway, thats why im not enjoyin it


A LM is loud as hell anyways, and its 3" Straight Pipe design is based on having little to no backpressure, <-------- yea!! thats why i heard they called it a LOUDmouth!!!!!!!!!

two can play your game
