Default Loud mouth, 1 7/8s and ory noise

Just got back from the mechanics from checking on my Z28 its been having Kooks 1 7/8s and ory installed and I have to say my car sounds mean I also had the air pump etc removed and a LS6 intake added to the mix could these be adding to the unbelievably aggressive sound ?And funny thing was at WOT no noise or drone inside the car that I could tell.....early days yet though as I have not given it a real long drive.

Congratulations on the great sound and I'm currently deciding on which catback to buy and I thought I finally sided with magnaflow but if you have headers, ory, and loudmouth could you possible post a sound-clip?
Oh and who the hell in Japan can work on an LS1?

I dont know how to post a sound clip as I am no computer whizz LOL.But it sounded great and I guess its a lighter system than a magnaflow due to no muffler I guess.I know a lot of people say headers,ory and loud mouth is no good because of the "DRONE" inside the car at WOT but maybe its different for 1 7/8s headers? All I know is it sounds great but I do have to warn you it is loud but sounds very very mean.
BTW the name of the guy who does my work in Japan is Okubo san at Alex Racing in Nagoya they are the No1 ls1 guys in Japan and are always working on C5s and F bodys etc.

It's the rasp at mid RPM's that's no good. I had LT's, ORY, and loudmouth and didn't like it, but it might be different for 1 7/8".

Well thanks for the replies and yeah I dont think I can do the LM anyway. Unfortunately, I'm a teenager and the less cops look at me the better So, magnaflow wins by default Oh and you keep referring to 1 7/8 headers what do most people get?

Most people get 1 3/4". 1 7/8" is for larger cubic inches or radical setups.

If I could do it again I would have went a different direction with my setup. I'm used to the drone now, but I might eventually replace the catback. I do LOVE the sound at startup and WOT though....

Hah the only thing I'm worried about is the fact my bro has an 02 Mustang GT with full exhaust and it is LOUD. I know when i put on my cat-back everyone will be telling me how it doesnt sound near as good. But I guess I just have to wait for headers and ory to compliment the Magnaflow and make it loud. For now i'll be the silent killer
