I run the loudmouth on mine and although decent at an idle and cruise its pretty loud getting to cruise speed. WOT is un f'ing unreal though and when its time to mash the pedal I always think of that line from gladiator "At my signal, UNLEASH HELL!"

also, one more thing, did you already order your ptk kit?
Thank you.

Some goddamn swirls are driving me nuts, though.

I ordered mine in the beginning of May (13th?). What do you think? I'm getting...uh... antsy.

I've got a LM, and I been worried about my install and sound being too crazy. I've even thought about the new LM II or some Borla bullets. Great more money... I just doubt I'd do it. But now your post has just made me feel so reassured, thanks man. I will be unleashing hell, too. Keepin' the LM.

When you see a cop just let up on the gas at coast on by, they dont even look. My girlfriend hates it but I like the radio up a bit anyway.

People are blown away by the sound, its so meaty and muscle car sounding everyone is always asking WTF did you do to that thing!

It will probably take a little getting used to but it really compliments a turbo setup performance wise.

I could only imagine what a monster like MM's car would sound like with one on. At 500rwhp my car is one of the tame setups on this forum of true beasts

Finally, another loud-car enthusiast! I was feeling pretty lonely in this thread. Yeah, I'm definitely keeping my LM. You're laying out exactly how my set-up will sound.. Awesome! Screw the cops, man. They're not buying my exhaust. They're not jerks, anyway. They'll only give the ticket if you're WOT like an idiot, and then you do deserve the ticket. I know, I'm that idiot. I have had two already... with some more obviously coming!

Good question. Does the turbo suppress some rasp and keep it loud, or does it still have rasp?

It for sure has a little resonance somewhere between 2500 and 3000 I think but it smooths right out when you hit OD. It doesnt rasp unless you are free reving it like a hillbilly in the Winn Dixie parking lot on a Saturday night

Under load it is sweet, not too obnoxious. If you dont like it you can always tone it down a bit with the LM II. Even on an older non-modular LM you can cut it out and put one in in about 1/2 hour with a cut off wheel or torch.

It is however too loud for alot of guys who perfer a more stock or sleeper sound or who have goten muffler tickets in the past.
