I had the LM2's on my dual setup, don't get me wrong they sound great, but they were not loud enough for me. I was raised on that old muscle that you could here a mile away when it started and to me there is nothing else like it. Plus, the first time I scrapped my LM2's on the road the baffle bent up alittle on the inside causing a NASTY and embarrasing whistle in my exhaust. The only upside is when I got down on it people thought I has a turbo. LOL. The X pipe I have and I don't know what brand it is, actually quieted ( not sure if thats even a word LOL ) my exhaust as if its acting as a muffler and believe it or not gave my exhaust a deep tone with the LM1's, almost as deep as my LM2's. If I get a chance to pull the cover off today I'll take a sound clip so you guys can hear it for yourself. Now keep in mind none of the above mods have been done yet only the true duals w/ X pipe and LM1's, everything else is stock for now

how is the LM1 deep? it might be deep at idle but once you hit some rpms its completely loud and toneless! its just a pipe. it might sound good with a stock car but thats due to cats other than that it sounds crazy loud at least for me...and honestly am not so worried about the old muscle sound that can be heard miles away..i DD my car so comfort > sound for me..
