Which cat back?
So I love the sound of the slp loudmouth and also the spintech 3in catback can't make up my mind on either. I've never heard either with headers and I will be doing headers when I get a new cat back . Help me decide which to get and the downfalls of each thanks

I agree the loudmouth sounds great with stock manifolds and would probably be ok with LT's and catted Y-pipe but it sounds terrible with ORY and even worse if you install a cam. I just put a Corsa muffler in mine now and it sounds great.

I've heard the Spintech mufflers don't flow too well.. If you decide on the SLP LM, i would DEFINETLY incorporate the Flowmaster Y Collector in your Y-Pipe, that will definetly cut down on some of the rasp, at least it did for me when I had an SLP LM catback.

If you do go LM go LM2,but my experience with LM2 and headers is that its really loud but still sounds mean..if I do another exhaust though I'd go true duals with an X pipe and sweet thunders!!

I really wanted to do . True duals and have an x pipe and dynomax bullets sitting in the garage. Just recently started working 12 hour days I won't have the time to do it and heard that you'd have to pay an outrages amount for labor on duals

I don't care for the Borla that I have. I think the Magnaflow with the quad tips gets my vote. I don't care for the Borla tips, or its sound. It was on the car when I bought it though. I have heard a LM exhaust before and I guess I am just more of a tone guy. About 10yrs ago I didn't care. If it was loud I liked it, but not as much now. The only bad part is that the only Magnaflows i've heard were on youtube vids.

This^^^ lol, but I'm a little biased.
The best thing to do is head to the track and try and hear some setups in person.
Perfect example is the perception that GMMG is the best sounding catback for Fbodies...minor detail is that it has to have cats or some type of muffler in the IPipe when running headers to maintain most of the bass. The Y pipe merge is also important if you are not running an XPipe or true duals.
I test drove a WS6 a few years ago, it had GMMG from straight pipes after the headers and imo sounded like crap.
In person is a whole different thing that little sound clips over the internet.

i think im leaning towards the spintech, i dont want it just loud i want that muscle tone and the spintech has it. i just also like the lm1 just kinda scared to go that route cuz ive never heard lm1 with headers, or a cam if i eventually do that.

I also have the option of keeping my flow masters and just adding the headers and y. I like the sound of the flow master it's just a little mellow and quiet for me once I add the headers it may open up alittle any suggestions?

This is after i installed the cam with stock manifolds and stock cats.
My car definitely has the classic muscle car sound with the GMMG on stock manifolds with the cam. Some people like loud and raspy though. All preference.
I'm throwing on my Lt headers this weekend with catted y pipe if you can hold out, i'll have a video up by next monday after the tune.
