exhaust setup in sig.

sounds awesome. although not a loudmouth, but you might want to look into the tsp rumbler.
barely louder than stock at idle and cruise, and *AWESOME* when at partial throttle, and WOT

Loudmouths sounds badass by themselves but from what i hear all the time, they will be very raspy with LT headers. You might like it though, it depends on your preference for sound

Loudmouth with cats and longtubes sounds ok. Cut the resonator off and put some kind of real muffler (bullet, twister, XR-1, or sweet thunder) in it's place and it will sound better. If there's a chance you'll ever go ORY just ditch that setup all together.

Default loudmouth

I have the pacesetter tsp catted y and loudmouth set up. Once it is warmed up it sounds fine at idle. Then when you get on it it really gets pretty loud. I need to put a muffler in there. Had a terrible time with the fitment though. The tips sit too high now.

im not sure if it has anything to do with my motor, but my loudmouth, with the dynatechs AND CATS is crazy loud and rasp!!!

I have no words to express how loud it is and if this helps, i love it loud!!! BUT it is right now, way to loud. IM kinda up for grabs about what i should do...i love the looks on people faces when i give it gas...the mustang guys really like!!!!

But for everyday, its a bit much....i have to almost scream to order anything in a drive through.....now the look on the drive trough tellers face when i pullup....PRICELESS!!!!!

im gonna at least drop in a borla xr-1 and see wat happens...

personally, if you like comfort...try a hooker or a slp chamber exhaust. If you want to keep it, go ahead..drop the lt'z and take it from there...

good luck!!

I have that exact combo. At idle it doesnt seem to be much louder than the LM with stock manifolds. At WOT it roars man. I man try the Thundermouth next year, but just for more of a tuned sound. I dont find it raspy at al.

The lm with no cats will make you pull your hair out imho. With the cats I thought it wasn't bad at all, but a spiral flow muffler would definately help to tone it down
