Another Exhaust Question

I know all the previous posts have the best of intentions in trying to help you find an exhaust system that you will enjoy on your car. Kudos, gentlemen, but I must add the following in defense of the LM systems.
All the aspects of SLP's Loudmouth Catbacks that have been mentioned are 100% accurate when you are mating it to LT's/ORY. But not everything about LM exhaust is negative when you add LT's.
You do have the option of matching the LM to LT's and a Catted Aftermarket Y-pipe. It will most definitely still be loud (you posted earlier that "loud" isn't a problem), but the cats help to eliminate some of the less desireable noises that an ORY allows.
In my opinion, LM's idle is second to none. Low and mean. And when you're on the throttle it gives your ride the unrefined sound of an untameable beast.
If you like loud, don't rule out either of the Loudmouth Systems, with or without LT's.
The reason the TSP Rumbler System is cheaper is due to it being constructed of aluminized exhaust tubing, while all the LM Systems are made of Stainless Steel. Remember, you get what you pay for.
Good luck with your choice, man.

Cool.
If you're interested, I have a couple Youtube videos of my car. Just search Cottonwood121 and you should have no problem finding them.
The first is with Loudmouth and the factory manifolds, cats, and Y-pipe.
The second is when I added Jet Hot LT's and a Jet Hot Catted Y. Like I said, it's ******' loud.
I apologize for the length of the vids. Once the camera starts rolling, I kinda get carried away.

They'll have been on for a year in April, with maybe 300-400 miles on them, if that. No trouble to speak of yet.
Kinda wish I had bit the bullet and invested in a set of stainless steel American Racing Headers. But I'd have to say, I got a pretty good deal on my Jet Hot's, so, considering that, I'm satisfied.
