Default Headers and Loudmouth... pics inside

Does this look wierd to you? I think it hangs down too low.

Would a couple hangers welded on the y help bring this up a couple inches?

Thanks.

have them straighten the angle of the resonator/ I-pipe to better meet the end of your mufflex reducer. leaving it like that will be very prone to dragging over most of your parking lot turn-outs where the streets and parking lots are of different elevations and that angled drive will feel your exhaust all the way down. not to mention that it will eventually warp undercarriage components, headers, tq arm, etc.

I got it all fixed today. Took the guy three hours to fix it. The Ypipe needed to be adjusted alot. He cut the resonator a bit by the Y collector.

Most of the time was spent lining it all up and making fine adjustments. Now it looks perfect, its straight, no banging and no welds except to reattach the resonator.

He made it so I could take it apart easily if I wanted too. Now I don't scrape speed bumps anymore. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I have less drone than with gutted cats in my LT/LM setup. 2200-2500 is crazy. I don't neccessarily hate it, but may have to fix it so the neighbors don't kill me. Sounds bada$$ when I nail it. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Do you have th ORY pipe? If so, we've got the same set-up.
Dont you absolutely DETEST the sound, especially at 2200-2500 rpms? The people in my car club pick on me relentlessly about how aweful my car sounds. I put the LM on the weekend before I installed my LTs and it sounded sooo good, but that all went to sh** after the LT's. Now I'm trying to sell the LM and buy a GMMG in hopes of having less drone. Anyone want a barely used Loudmouth? =)
