LM, designed better and tips look a hell of a lot better. Plus it flows and fits better than the rumbler, at least from what I've heard on forums. I don't think the Rumbler is stainless either. LM sounds better too.

I like the TSP Rumbler, I think it sounds better, just buy it without tips and get your own.

Its all a personal preference... go to www.ls1sounds.com and listen to them...

The drone of the loudmouth at 70mph its mind-numbing.

A big factor when it comes to exhaust choice is whether or not you're driving a M6 or A4 car. With a cam/stall the SLP Loudmouth exhaust systems are really loud assuming you have LT's and a ORY. I really like a loud car but I ended using the TSP ORY with a Borla XR-1 muffler dumped. Was quiet enough for the neighbors but loud enough to tell it had muscle.

i would recomend bringing it to a trustworthy exhaust shop... I dropped my GTO off with open headers and said "I want to be able to drive this thing on the highway without having a headache, and when I hit 5k rpm-i want everyone to know it"...Be sure to talk through it about pricing though (i think i got kinda taken)... I have one of the meanest sounding cars around (only 380rwhp) and would do it again

this. i have the rumbler and it fits like crap, looks like crap, sounds like, flows like crap. its next to impossible to get tips to line up right on it.

i have a few friends that have the lm1 cat back, yeah it sounds like crap but it still sounds a little better than the rumbler, it also flows better, looks better, and fits the car better. so that being said at least you can swap out the lm bullet for something better.

the only thing you can do with the rumbler is throw it in the dumpster. ASAP.
i can tell you right now that the ppl that voted for the rumbler have probly never had one. they just think the lm sounds to raspy. well guess what the rumbler is even worse.

Weird that ppl are hatin the TSP, Love mine pretty sure they flow great with the bullets. And if they fit like crap that is installer error or your car is lowered. Mine fit fine stock ride height. O and love the sound.

Same here. I've never had any problems with mine. I have Pacesetter LT's, Pacesetter ORY and the TSP Rumbler 3" and it all fit together perfectly. I just bought the exhaust without tips and then bought my own later. I thought the tips they offered were ugly and overpriced IMHO.

Here is a video of mine at the track. As you can see it tucks up under neath nicely. This was before I lowered the car but even after lowering I still don't have any issues with scraping.

I dont like the raspy, crackely (if thats a word) sound of the LM and it only gets worse with LT's and a Y pipe. My buddy had that setup on his TA and it was retarded loud.

I have an LM1 currently on my car and it sounds great !! I had stock manifolds and cats and it wasn't too loud until I got on it then it just sounded really mean . I get a lot of compliments on the sound of the car .... I am doing headers and off road y right now and am hoping it still sounds as good I hear it gets a lot raspier though but if it does I will just change mufflers .... In my opinion it sounded great though with the stock manifolds and cats .... We will see how it sounds with the headers though .

Make sure you let us know how you like it. Maybe even some videos?
