Default best exhaust?

I am wondering what is the loudest, deepest sounding exhaust system? Ive heard from some people that the SLP Loudmouth was. Also, what are some good headers? I want a setup in which I can run open headers when I want to but can also run a regular cat-back system. Do they call that a cutoff?


Ive seen a lot of stories of stock Ws6 trans-ams running 13.5@105mph. The best mine will do is 13.81@101mph. Why are others faster?

Get some headers a orp <--off road pipe) dual cutout's and GMMG exhaust. They are called cutout's some of the sponser's sell cutout's. There is a electric that open's with a push of a button and cutout's you open your self. And for your last question it depend's on the mod's you have. What mod's do you have. What part of Texas are you from and good luck on you exhaust.

There is no "best" exhaust, it's all one's opinion.

NOT ANOTHER ONE OF THESE THREADS
I will enter my usual vote: TRUE DUALS!!!!! The loudmouth is NOT the best. Not even close. Trust me. I had it, then got duals. Get duals, or if you want to spend more money for a slightly lower power system the GMMG does sound very nice as well.
Disclaimer: Those are my opinions. however, they are fairly popular opinions. Take it with a grain of salt. Your best bet: listen to as much as possible IN PERSON. Then you will really know.

Yup, that's about it. I still think that the vast majority of people who have heard the various systems will vote for duals or the GMMG. Unless that is all they want is pure insane raspy volume, in which case they want LM with no cats. But, of course, everyone does have their own opinion.

I just sent in my order for the GMMG setup. There is a great group purchase deal going on right now. I got to hear the GMMG at the hot rod power tour last week, and it was the sweetest sounding exhaust I have heard (although it is subjective). After one rev, I knew I had to go order it up.
