Default SLP LM Exhaust needs to be quiet.

I am finally gettin my cam installed soon and I know it is a choppy idle. My concern is the idle in the morning. I wake up and leave the house at 5:30am. Is there another quiet resonator for idle but still have the kick under wot. Or do I have to get another exhaust system. Thanks

you could try a 4x9 from magnaflow, they are pretty quiet mufflers but flow extremely well. You could also try like an XR-1 from borla, most of these will be quieter than the resonator that comes with the LM.

I'm afraid of the magnaflow being too quiet.

You should also look into getting the LM2. I think it is a direct replacement and is quieter than the LM1 resonator. However I could be mistaken.

the LM2 is a bit quieter but not by much, your best bet is to try a differnt brand.

I had the some problem, I got up at 4:30 and after my cam is was to much. I bought a 45 dollar moroso spiral flow muffler and dumped it. It helped out quiet a bit.

A spiral flow will definitely quiet it at idle. I was happy with my "spiralmouth" at idle, but was still louder than I wanted while cruising. Overall, it will definitely tone it down some.

anything is going to be quieter than the LM resonator or a bullet muffler. Your best bet is to try one of the above or put a moroso spiral flow in place of the resonator and in the passenger side exhaust pipe after the axle. These will help, plus, you already have cats which will help quiet the exhaust with the addition of "actual" muffler(s).

It's called a damn "Loudmouth" for a reason. There is no such thing as a quiet anythingmouth. You want a quiet free flowing muffler? Keep the LM piping but have a hooker aero chamber muffler welded in at the rear or even an SLP D/D muffler(watch out for the cone of silence).

You Could Try Leaving It And Not Worrying About Waking People Up. Most Aftermarket Mufflers Alone Are Enough To Wake Anyone Up. I Think That It Doesn't Matter, Motorcycles Are Louder And Theres Nothing Anyone Can Do Short Of Keying Your Car Or Adding Some Sugar To The Gas Tank. Lets Hope You Have A Garage.

go to the SLP website and click Corvette 2007, click exhaust and click on the LM picture. SLP has created some exhaust video's of their products with competitor exhaust video's for comparion. You can also go to the Katec site and search exhaust and you be be able to view exhaust videos of the LM with gutted cats and Cam.
