LM1 way too loud on my car, need new exhaust (ideas) I've just finished my LE2 226/230 cam swap on the T/A, and the car is just WAY too loud. I was looking around and found this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PYE-XVX13/ And was wondering if anyone has tried it. I will also need some mufflers, and was considering dynomax cause I always liked the way they sound. Anyone have any experience with this stuff, or have other ideas? Thanks -Chris

Switching to a TD setup with dynomax mufflers(assuming bullets) isnt going to tame down the sound at all...if anything its going to be louder. I have a summit 3in xpipe with bullets on my car fits pretty good with some persuading.

Its still going to be pretty loud even with those. If it were me i would just get a Magnaflow catback and put a cut out in for the track days if my car was a street car.

i had a lm1 with my cammed car, and i switched the resonator out for a spiral flow. not sure how restrictive it is but it sounded neat and actually quieted the car down a good bit. i have since switched to open headers with turn downs (track only car)

I have heard lots and lots of lt1 cat backs, in person, and the LM1 is probably the shittiest sounding of them all IMO.
I loove my Borla. So smooth and tight - not raspy. Loud enough under WOT but not too loud at all, especially cruisin around easy.
I would do whats called a "borlamouth" and put a Borla muffler in your loudmouth system and be done. People say it really has an awesome sound. I know my Borla does
