Man I loved my LM1 before headers. Now with LT's Catted-y it sounds pretty gaudy up top. Without weight on the motor it's sounds sweet revving. But in gear sounds like crap.

I want something cleaner sounding and a little quieter. Was thinking Borla XR-1 or LM2. Is there a specific size I need?

What do you guys think sounds better/less obnoxious between the two? (yes I searched)

Thanks

Also what's a muffler that would get me back to just sounding like the LM1? I assuming LM2 muffler? Any other that would sound similar? Ive been pouring over you tube vids

I bought a Borla XR-1 Racing Muffler and I like it. I'm actually about to change it to Stainless Works 3 1/2 in catback and a new custom y-pipe. The muffler I bought I tried to get the same length as the resonator. I think it's 5 inches in diameter and if it's on a slammed car you have to be careful going up a driveway. I put the muffler right where the resonator was in the exhaust.

What length was it? Did it quiet down at all with the xr-1?

I'm not sure what length it was. It was a little bit longer than the resonator. And yes it did quiet it down some.

Magnaflow is probaby your best best. Man I wouldnt change my lm1 and lts for anything. Sound mean as fck. Its not clean sounding ill give you that.

Yeah, I mean it does sound mean but just too crackly/poppy if that makes sense. But I don't think I like the sounds of magnaflow too much, I want to get back to how the LM1 sounded before long tubes

MikeWS6

Ohhh I got ya. Then I would say the LM2 thats alot quieter and deeper.

Hmmm LM2 deeper? Have you have it on your ride? I know it's quieter though...

MikeWS6

My friend has it on his trans am. It sounds muffled at idle. WOT doesnt pop like my LM1.

LM2 with LTs and cats sounds great. I did a lengthy write-up on my Trans Am with the setup. You really cant go wrong. Sounded awesome!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm I think that's what I'm leaning towards(LM2) ! That or a borla xr-1....Any opinions between the two??

MikeWS6

Yeah keep the lm1 in case you dont like the new muffler. The LM2 and XR1 are just as loud as each other.

So I figured out why it sounded like such ****. My egr plate had basically gotten blown off. AND there was a huge leak. Sounds much much better now, I think I'll still change out to a borla though
