Default Is a loudmouth enough?

I have ls6 intake, trick flow heads, fm11 cam, and kooks headers. Making my own Y pipe if the catback will be enough. If not I will build an x pipe

Not having a catback after the y-pipe is equivalent to the LM. It doesn't restrict much flow if any. I think you'll like the sound of the X pipe much better due to the raspiness of the LM with an ORY and LT's. That's just my opinion since I have had both and I'm sticking with the true duals over the LM.

I was a. Asking bescause of the 2 3/4 in choke point. Or even if 3 in is even enough. I know how the lm sounds. It is the only thing I still have from the old setup

you should be making enough power that the Xpipe would probably free up 10-15hp over the LM, not to mention sound better.

i say sell it and use that money to fund the Xpipe
