Default Just installed Loudmouth....

All I have to say is why didn't I do this like 3 years ago, I could not be happier. Sound is awesome, has a nice deep burble to it, and it sounds especially sweet when just driving in traffic, I can't get enough, I drove around for like an hour last night just to hear it. Only problem was I had to fabricate a hanger for it on the passenger side, although the instructions said I could use the stock hanger, there was no way that was happening. Anyone else have this problem?? Did something not get atttached to my Loudmouth that should have??

Just wait until you add headers and a cam. You might not like the sound anymore. It tends to get real high and "raspy'.

I had mine installed two years ago. I added added a SLP Y pipe this past year and it kinda made it sound a little quieter but it still sounds awesome. Theres nothing like ricers hearing a real exhaust.

Just wait till you get headers. Leave that baby wide open and then you will hear loud mouth. Mine isnt raspy at all. And i cant find anyone with a louder car ( TICKET ) I cant wait to get the cam installed

I'm running the loudmouth with a cam and headers (+ cats) and I think it sounds great. Not raspy at all IMHO. And a good NASCAR scream at 6600 rpms.

Mine's a bit raspy, so I'm changing to true duals in the near future if all goes well. No doubt, though, the LM is the best sounding exhaust out there with stock manifolds, IMO.

I second that, I bought the loudmouth just for now. I will be getting true duals and loudmouth to replace the exhaust, but it is a great exhaust to go with the stock exhaust manifolds!

I loved my old Trans Am with the LTs and LM. It was freaking PISSED OFF.

I don't think I can get away with being that loud with my CE though.

I am running jet hot LT and an ORY with the loudmouth it sounds awesome i get complimented everyday. Even when i had the cats out i loved it it sounded like a nascar. It was freakin loud i would drive down RT 3 and get it right 2500 rpms where it would start to resonate and blast it when i would roll up on ppl they would just look at me in amazement. I remember all my buddies gathered at the gas station after i got everything installed where one of my friends works at night and they told me to do a run down the street. When i came back they where all just standing there with there mouths wide open then my one friend said "i have never heard anything like that in my life...now if i want to watch nascar i can call you up and tell you to drive by my house" they all said they could still hear me going when i was ALL the way down the street lol. It was fun but then i had to put my cats back in because of inspection i was enjoying myself hehe
