better in terms of what? most catbacks will net pretty much the same peak horse. Its just a few extra here and there. I would just go to ls1sounds.com and see which you like the sound of better.

I would have to give the loudness edge to the loudmouth. Although the Borla can be pretty loud with no plates, the loudmouth is specifically designed to be loud. They both can be good systems depending on your preferences and are both made of stainless steel. The LM can be had for about half of the price of the Borla system.

i guess ill say it before JRP:

Try the "search" feature

Searching will find you many different opinions, and better yet, many results with different types of header-ypipe setups. Personally I like Loudmouth better, due to the fact that it supposedly flows just as well as Borla, it has damn cool lookin tips, and it is one of the cheapest cat-back available. Loudmouth is a great choice for an exhaust upgrade, but if used in combination with LT headers and a y-pipe, your exhaust will be really really loud.

Good luck either way

loudmouth sounds like *** with lt's and no cats. period. even with cats it sounds a lil too raspy. about the only catback you're going to enjoy w/o cats is GMMG, and that runs you $700 new, plus $150 for premium tips(a must for most).

like nat said, search is your friend. ls1sounds.com will yield you lots of insight to what exhaust combinations you prefer.

Loudmouth. If you are going no cats get the GMMG or Corsa.

the question is....are you gonna do headers eventually or not??.....

if your gonna go w/ loudness go w/ loudmouth, and then if its too much once you get headers, take out the resonator and replace it w/ a borla xr-1...see borlamouth at ls1sounds.com...this makes for some crazy *** soundage, almost as good as true duals

CAUTION: DO NOT GO WITH SLOWMASTER..PERFOMANCE SUCKS BUT SOUNDS NICE W/ HEADERS...so i had to go w/ cutout

I had the FM with Mac's/no cats at it sounded weak as hell. Very hollow/tinny sounding.

cutout that **** before the axle, and when you wanna go flowmaster put the cap on...thats what i do...except for the fact i love the looks people gave me with it open, something to the tune of "is that necessary"

Loudmouth + LT's + cats = loud and obnoxious exhaust. But how else should a muscle car sound.

might as well go with true duals now. when you here a car with true duals you are going want it over any catback system out there.
