Swappin my LM
Ok, I currently have LM on my car with stock manifolds and Y. If I go with longtubes, ORY and hooker catback, will it be louder? I am assuming so but just have to ask

Hooker has far greater muffling affect as it's not a straight thru design, it also won't flow as well because of it.
Headers + ORY + Hooker will be quieter than stock headers + Cats + LM
Also if you like the sound of the LM you'll probably hate the sound of the Hooker (and vice versa)

what would be a cheap catback to swap out because I plan on doing a cuttout when I want it loud. but I want a catback with lts and Y pipe that is louder than my lm with stockies when the cuttout is closed

The LM on stock headers and CATS is bloody loud. Loouder than most other catbacks even when used with an ORY.
Logic dicates that the LM with ORY/LT's will be louder than LM with cats, so there's your answer.
But be warned many don't like the sound of the LM + ORY. Swapping the resonator for a bullet muffler is an option, popular choices include Magnaflow bullet, Borla XR-1, Dynomax.

no I understand that thats why I need to get rid of it. right now I have LM on with stock manifolds and stock catted y. but I plan on doing lt's and 3" ory so that means I will no longer be able to keep the lm. but since I plan on doing an elec. cuttout in the I of my ory, I am not looking to have a settup much louder than my current.

ive heard of more and more people using the stock system once they get headers and ORY...which i thought noone did. im not sure what the advantage would be other than noise level, just saying ive heard of it being done. if you sell your lm, let me know!

But I think the LM will fit the ORY. If I am not mistaken.

I went with a 16" Powerstick and it made it a bit deeper toned but is still pretty raspy. I'm either gonna go TD's or if I stick with a cat-back the Hooker. And also I went with the Pace ORY and had some issues mating it to the LM. The I-pipe needed to be expanded to fit.

yea, but what I really want is another cheap catback that wont rasp or drone a lot that I can throw on which will be similar or louder than my LM now with stock manifolds once I throw on lt's and an ory
