i'm selling my LM to a guy i know for cash and his stock catback off his T/A. the stock catback will only be temporary until i decide what i'm gonna do about exhaust: either stock catback and no cats with a c/o; stock catback with a new muffler welded in place, cats and c/o; or previous setup w/o cats. after my cam the LM is just too loud now (i didn't think it was going to get that loud) and i'm lookin for some setup that's reasonable with noise but not pissing off everybody when i drive past their house at 4:30 in the morning. any suggestions or advice?

I got a H/C car with a stock NON WS6 T/A exhaust . I lost a TON !
According to Jeff Creech , he says about 40HP . H/C cars and even just cam cars HAVE to have a free flowing exhaust to see good numbers . I got a texas rumbler on the way to solve that problem and Jeff is gonna Dyno me for free to see what I gained . I will post up the before and after dyno graphs for all to see .

well here's how restrictive the stock exhaust is when adding 200 n2o to a stock motor. even tried a cutout to no avail. then added the bassani tru-dual. just to give you an idea.
Now here's results of my exhaust endeavors. This is with 200 n2o.
distance ---stock ----- cutout --- Bassani
60ft ------ 1.987 ------ 2.074 ----- 1.969
1/8 ------- 7.902 ------ 7.912 ----- 7.739
mph ------ 93.20 ------ 93.97 ----- 98.60
1/4 ------ 12.102 ----- 12.080 ---- 11.814
mph ----- 117.12 ----- 118.06 ---- 121.35
