Loudness battle Me and a few friends were debating the loudest exhaust set up on a bolt on only car. We cant seem to agree though.
I said a cut out in the I pipe with LT headers would be the loudest
He said LM1 with LT headers is louder
My other buddy disagreed and said true duals w/ bullet mufflers.
We could all agree that TD's is the best sounding out of the three though haha.

^ gotta agree bout the duals registering on richter scale.thats what i run turned down in front of axle, loud as hell but good luck keepin it clean ever seen a leafblower in a dirt yard? lol
Lol yeah I had a ory,lm1,ms4 on my car and I don't see anything beeing louder than that ,it drove me crazy,its not the best sound just a lot of freaking noise,wot sounded sick but that was about it,when I had just the lm1 it sounded really nice,it didn't sound to bad with long tubes and ory,but as soon as the cam went in was way to much for me and I like loud,

having experienced both, the Longtubes and LM1 is the loudest.
No doubt in my mind Longtubes/LM1 when i was just full exhaust is louder than my 3" duals with dynomax bullet setup.
At start up they are both extremely loud. LM1 is loud/raspy, and drone is pretty unbearable. Duals with bullets suprisingly isnt loud at all inside the cabin and i have a 230 cam as well. You can still carry a conversation and its mellow at crusing speeds. Hardly any drone at all even around 2k rpms.

This is whats going on with my car right now due to a clamp failing. So now I have open Y pipe. Its cool for right now til I can get it welded up. Sure beats the hell out of the Magnaflow thats on my car. I like seeing people turn around a block away.

I think dumped TD's with bullets would be the loudest. Hell, I had TD's with single chambers ran to the bumper and it was a lot louder than my buddy's 2000 SS, especially once I went with the H/C 6.0. But, he had LT's with cats and an LM2, so it'd be quieter than no cats and LM1.
