If you want it the loudest you can get it just cut your exhaust off after the y-pipe and weld a bullet with a turndown on it.

LM1, but if you plan on adding headers and an ORY anytime soon I would go another route and get something else. But if you are staying on stock mainfolds, go with the LM1.

I was wondering can you run just a slp resonator and no muffler? Would it sound like crap? I like it loud but I dont want it to sound like a tractor. I currently have 3" flowmaters and they sound good at idle and as soon as you get on it it sounds like someone farting in a pop can. The car has an aggreasive cam and longtube pacesetter headers and I want something loud and was thinking of an slp resonator and no muffler what's your opinions??

i used to run a 2.5in x-pipe with dynomax super turbo mufflers with turndowns and with dual electric cutouts after the headers. was the quietest true dual setup when closed. but open up the cutouts and it was crazy loud

It has nothing to do with being old, I'm 18 and can't stand loud and raspy cars

How come no one puts the slp powerflo on? I have it and I love it, it's a lil quiet right now, but headers/y/cam are yet to come. I should mention I drove it around for a month with no muffler at all when i bought it and it was pretty damn loud, and definitely noticeably slower.

the loudest muffler is no muffler, but that sounds like ****. however, if you want a muffler, LM1 is def your choice, but why not just save up a little more and get a whole catback?

the loudest exhaust for sure be the SLP Loudmouth. Its basically straight pipe. The bullet is hollow inside kinda like a built in exhaust tip. Want a sound sample go to www.youtube.com and type in BLKNREDPREDATOR2001 and check out my video with my TSP 383 stroker. LT headers, ORY, and LM when i bought it there was no LM2 option.
