Loudest Exhaust? I am looking to replace the exhaust on my 99 TA. The current exhaust, which was on it when I bought it, has a nice growl, but I want something REALLY loud! I want people to hear me coming from blocks away! Would love some advice on the loudest exhaust I can get. Thanks.
i am going to tell you one thing... my set-up is so freakin loud even i cant handle it.
I have the cat-bypass pipes (no cats), and a flowmaster muffler...but i also got a cutout. with the cutout capped it isnt bad @ all, but with it uncapped, HOLY ****!
people say they hear me coming from probably about 5-6 blocks away. If your looking for loudness, then go the same route i went.. u wont be disapointed... You will lose a little bit of takeoff power though.

LT headers with Lane's 3" true duals, Dr. Gas X pipe, and Flo-Pro twisters. It's loud, and it doesn't sounds like *** like the LM + LT's does. 
Sorry guys, rasp sounds like ****. I hate to break it to you!

True duals rock!
PS I had the loudmouth and loved it, but with headers came duals and i couldn't be happier with the sound.
I get many complements on my exhaust. It's loud but not too loud: I was recently measured at 95 db about 30 feet to the side. I have two Dynomax bullets, one right off each header collector, no cats. Then the 3 inch duals dump into a 4 inch flowmaster y pipe a bit farther back than stock, so it's duals back to the rear seat. I have the output of the 4 inch Y collector going directly into a Borla XR1 with 4 inch input and output, then a single 4 inch tailpipe goes over the rear axle. Everything is stainless steel from Stainless Works except for the Y collector. No rasp, just a roar! I've tried many different exhaust systems, and this one sounds the best so far.

I have Hooker LTs with a 3 inch ORY and a 4 inch flowmaster collector going back into a 3 inch I pipe...then dumping before the bend over the axle. Christ it's loud as hell. The home owner's association is pissed. Apparently I'm scaring quite a few neighbors with the damn thing uncapped. LOL! You want to hear a loud car...mine puts my roommate's heads/cam Z28 to shame.
You want loud? Go cutout before the rear axle. If you want that LS1 rasp in it, dump after the axle. Have fun!
