Default Chambermouth length question

What's the longest I can go to replace my LM1 resonator with a chambered powerstick (classic chambered in milford, mi makes them)? The overall lengths range from 21" to 31". Thanks.

If you cut a little bit of your I pipe, the 21 inch stick should fit fine, otherwise if you try to wedge it in there, it'll lower ground clearance and you'll smack it on speed bumps.

IIRC, they have three sizes. The medium one is the one I used and fits well. Check which one TORCHD O2 TA is using. He's got the right setup.

Yeah but Torchd also has the gmmg catback. He can run whatever length he wanted in that I pipe. The OP is limited somewhat by the fact the loudmouth resonator is a little over 18" long. He'll have to trim the I pipe a bit to make something longer fit or it will drag. Is it the modular loudmouth setup, or the old welded version?

You'll have to hack it apart to the length you needed to make the chambered muffler fit.

I just installed a magnaflow bullet that was 21" overall as opposed to the lm that was 18. Not cool. I cut 2" out of the I pipe (anymore and it would affect the i-pipe) and it still hung REALLY low. I hated it and bought a magnaflow catback for $380 shipped on here.

It did sound MUCH better than the slp lm though. Much less rasp but still very loud.
