Default Catback Or No??????

I'm lookin at SLP loudmouth or the catback. I want a real nice sound too but there is a $250 difference between the two. I do not know the difference. What are catbacks and what do they do? If you guys can recommend what I should do it would be awesome. Thanks!

Put $100 with it and run true duals, you will be disappointed with the sound of loudmouth.......

Catback = From the cats back... So new I pipe, muffler/resonator, and then tips. They offer superior flowing over stock. Larger diameter pipes, mandrel bends, and stainless steel for longevity. The faster you get that exhaust out, the more power you'll make to a point.

You said you're looking at Loudmouth or the catback... What do you mean?

Loudmouth catback flows second to none. But if you ever plan on getting headers, you might want to keep looking. Alot of people dont like it.

Check out JRP's sticky on exhaust, at the top of the forum here. Some kickass info there.

The only way im disappointed with mine is the fact that now i want to do headers. Stock manifolds, stock y or even aftermarket y w/ kittys, the loudmouth sounds excellent IMO. I've never had a complaint in 2 years.

To each his own. I do agree about the duals though.

I love my Loudmouth. Planning on LT's and ORY here real soon, so I may be forced to splice a Borla or Dynomax in place of the resonator. I've heard LM's with the above and no muffler, just resonator-can you say LOUD???!!!

I think the Loudmouth is the best one out there for the stock manifolds & cats.
