Welcome to the world of rasp. Lol. My LM2 w/ LT's sound the same under medium acceleration. I'm swapping it out for a XR1 tomorrow morning. I try to keep it under 2K driving around, or full WOT. Lol. The midrange is just horrible...

AT ALL. thank god my step bro showed up so he could help me muscle the **** out of it to get the tail pipes to clear the bumper. and i still have no idea how i'm going to get tips on this bitch. but wait theres more...the sound...now let me just say that the TD's with bullets sounded like pure sex. but for whatever reason a dynomax bullet sounds like hammered dog **** on a y-pipe set up. not to mention it completely smoothed out my cam idle so the car sounds like stock motor. all be it i do have a small cam on 114 lsa but still...

cliff notes:

1. tsp o/r y is good.
2. u-bolt clamps are garbage.
3. rumbler cb didn't fit right.
4. the passanger side tail pipe sits too high, even after a lot of muscle.
5. the sound is horrible. too quiet at idle. too raspy at 50% throttle. too quiet at WOT. sounds ok when nuetral revved but thats it.
Im runnin TSP LTs, ORY, Rumbler CB. I agree with you on the u-bolt clamps and the fitment of the catback. I had to go to a muffler shop and get the catback put on and i had them weld everything together. Your car sounds different then what mine use to sound like. Here is a video of my car on the dyno at WOT. So you can compare the two
