Default TSP TRUE DUALS or SLP LM1 w/ORY & Cutouts??

just like the title says... which should i go with??

I have pacesetter LT headers with the TSP True duals w/ sweet thunder mufflers on my 2002 z28 right now. It sounds SWEET but hangs so damn low!! so im either going to keep the setup and sell my SLP LM1 setup.

OR

I'll buy an ORY and Electronic cutouts and put the SLP LM1 setup on the car...


I love the look of the dual/dual tips out the back, and dont really like the look of the TSP True duals being so damn low...

PLEASE HELP! any input is appreciated!!!

Well if you decide to part ways with the Tru Duals. I will trade you straight up for a LM1/ORY system. No damage. Keep me posted or shoot a pm

I've never heard an LM1 car with LT's and ORY that sounded what I considered nice. It was always loud, high pitched, and with a bad resonance.

I decided to get rid of my MAC mid/ORY/SLP dual/dual setup for QTP LT's to TSP TD's. The car isn't running right now, but after hearing LT's with TD's I couldn't resist.

I say keep the TSP TD's unless you are constantly scraping stuff.

I have TSP TD's and I ALMOST did exactly what you're contemplating right now....don't! I used to scrape everything with my TD's. So, I got stiffer shocks in the back and had a local LSx shop weld up some better hangers and my scraping has ceased. I also swapped out the mufflers the TD's came with for SLP Shotgun Resonators (essentially I combined the 2 exhausts; True Mouth if you will) and it sounds sickening. The car just sounds pissed off all the time. Just my experience.

I "had" SLP LM1 SLP LTs, etc. I liked it.. calm when necessary, but wild and relentless at WOT.

My last camaro had the loudmount setup. IT RASPED LIKE ****. I dont mind a loud exhaust but it just didnt sounds nice. Now i have lts with TSP true duals and sweet thunders and LOVE the sound. You will regret it if you change setups.

My setup never hits, but its not lowered. YOu might be able to adjust it more to give you more clearence

i have the set up your talking about (in sig) with bigger headers and i drive with my cut out off all the time, and love it and one of my favorite sayings is "if it's too loud your too old" but then again i don't drive my car but like 3 or 4 times a month

it will solve your ground clearance issues and be quieter inside the car.

All for the slp loudmouth with cutout!!!! I just installed kooks longtubes with offroad y and i freakin love it I just wish i had a cutout lol. So my vote is for the slp as long as you can stand an extremely loud car at wot. Just cruising though its not that bad

I have the setup he has except for the cutout and so does my brother and i dont think it is unbearable to drive at all. It is actually very quite unless you start to wind it out a lil

hmmm...idk. i've had both as well.
i just always thought the dumped duals had a low drone that rattled the interior some. it got a tad annoying. of course turn the music up and it solves a lot of problems.
