So I found out I have the loudmouth system but the previous owner removed the resonator or muffler and put a thing called blue streak and even with headers it's not loud should I replace it with the loudmouth 1 so I can annoy my neighbors I really don't like them

Then you will probably hate having a LM1. I know from experience lol. At least do the LM2, Magnaflow 14419, or any other bullet muffler that will fit

^^^ I second that. An LM1 with LTs and ORY would be annoying to me, but then again that's just personal opinion. If you want something that's going to be loud but still have a nice tone to it I'd go for a Magnaflow 14419 or a Borla XR-1. If you just want it to be as loud as you can get it an LM1 or Flowmaster single chamber might be what you're looking for.

You sound like me.

I'm getting ready to put the TSP LT's and ORY on my LM1 this weekend can't wait to see how loud it gets. I'd look up sound clips if I were you. I like the overly raspy sound. Many don't.

I will 3rd that.

LTs + ORY + LM1 sounds like a kazoo on crack at anything above ~2k rpm. It's noise just for the sake of noise, not a nice sound at all except at idle.

Go with the magnaflow 14419! Sounds better then lm2 and its 3" all the way through unlike the lm2's 3" to 2.5 to 3" I recently did the swap!

My vote is yes. I run a true dual setup with two SLP Loudmouth 1 resonators with no cats. It's loud, but sounds damn good to me.

I run lt headers ory and lm1 and cutout and I like it, but keep in mind I run 24/7 cutout open and if the neighbors are up late and loud I just fire the car up at 4:30 am to go to work so I like making people mad lol.. I'm soon wanting to go to true dual lm1 like Phoenix.
