i was thinking about going with slp but i heard some cherrybomb's on a friend's mustang and they sounded pretty good but then i also thought about just getting the headers and getting an electric cutout system put on

I love my Corsa with my LT's and ORY except for when I am at part throttle at around 2200 rpm, I get the good ol machine gun note. At WOT though it sounds beautiful, it will definitely be a higher pitch than the 80 series also.

i have pacesetter lt's and ory pipe with slp loudmouth. i love it and its really not as bad as people make it out to be. but maybe thats cause my car is an auto. but i love it. if u want something that sounds good at WOT and quiet at idle then go with magnaflow. Hooker sounds good to. its not obnoxiously loud. or as stated before corsa.

Run straight pipes all the way back.

If youre going to do headers, avoid the SLP loudmouth. Many, MANY people who have had that exhaust, end up changing it after doing headers due to the rasp and loudness.

I've got hooker exhaust and it sounds great all around. On the highway, its great because its pretty quiet cruising around 60-73mph, then 74mph and on, you start getting that V8 growl coming out (not drone or annoying in any way).

Go with slp loudmouth. Not the original one though. That would probably be too loud for you

I loved the sound of my LM1 through the stock manifolds. After installed LTs and ory tho it was very loud and raspy and machine gunny sounding in the middle rpms.
Some people liked it i didn't till it was at the top of rpms when the sound smoothed out. I installed high flow cats after that and the sound smoothed out a ton and i love it now. Something to think about if you go that route with SLP.

Leave your Flowmaster on until the headers are installed. You may find it to be loud enough and yourself enjoying the sound. If not, then replace it.

I have Pacesetter LTs, TSP Catted Y, and LM1. I love it. Go to Ls1sounds.com they have sound clips, and video clips of many different setups.
