How bad will this sound.. Everyone says that longtubes and a loudmouth sound like garbage. I don't mind a little rasp. This is the list of parts I hope FedEX can get to me before next weekend. Pacesetter LT's, ORY, 232-234-112lsa, and some other goodies. I cant find any soundclips close to this set up on an lS1 car 
I'm afraid that my car is going to sound like an overgrown ricer.
I'm afraid that my car is going to sound like an overgrown ricer. It won't sound like an overgrown ricer. It will be loud. You may like it. A lot of the loudmouth with headers is the worst sound ever is just a bunch of repeated words. I've never heard it in real life, just like half of the people that say it sounds terrible. If you already have it, try it out and see if you like it. The only sound clip I ever heard of a cammed, loudmouth, headers, orp, sounded good to me (no rasp, just loud) Then again you don't hear rasp in revving very much.

way too many people repeat things like that without even the slightest clue. so many say you can run this cam on the street, or this exhaust wont work, or sounds like **** and so on...
I've heard LT/ORY/LM and it sounded good, but loud...
I like loud. I had Jet Hot LT's, ORY, and LM. A little rasp is an understatement. Drone is another issue aside from rasp. The drone drove me nucking futs. I swapped the LM resonator for a borla xr-1. Still loud as hell, but the drone is bearable now and the rasp went way way way down.
If I were you, I would pick up an LM2. That way you can easily swap the resonator for a muffler if you don't like it.

The loudmouth has been on the car for over a year and I like it. I've never heard a loudmouth with an ORY and headers. I'm guessing the xr-1 is a muffler. Whats up with the LM2? I do have a Borla muffler to make a Borlamouth if need be. Thanks for the quick replies. I'll post a vid in two weeks ( if all goes well ) when its done so we all can hear it

A good friend of mine has the Loudmouth with Pacesetter LTs and ORY. Yes, it is VERY loud. Like well past obnoxious loud for most people. Then he added an FM13 cam and it got even louder!
Some will like the sound, others will hate it. I personally think it isn't too bad. Lots of rasp and gurgle and such, but it sounds unique and powerful.

you guys are so mean, ive never even seen a camaro... 
in real lifehaha besides sound value, ls1sounds gives people a good idea, w/ LM, the XR-1 is your friend
I have LT/ORY/LM
I like it, its not the best most amazing sound ever, but its a real LOUD sound. TD all the way out the back IMO is the best sounding exhaust, It does get raspy/droney if you baby it around, but when your like me and dont pay for gas you just rip everywhere and youll like the way it sounds

I had that setup for about 10 min., until I dropped in a moroso spiral flow for the resonator.
I have true duals now, wouldnt trade it for anything.

I have Mac midlengths, ORY, and a loudmouth with H/C and personally i don't like it. From 2000 to 2500 RPM's the rasp is ridiculous. When everything was installed my friends welder wouldn't work so the y- pipe just slid inside the catback with about 1/2" of clearance all aroud and it sounded great, but as soon as i got it welded together YUCK!!! I'll probably just put a cutout in the intermediate pipe. Take this from someone who drives it everyday you more than likely will hate it.

I just got my (XR-1) borlamouth with a Bassani ORY. I Love the sound. My wife likes the sound too. It can get deafning at WOT, and a nice deep rumble at idle all the sounds in between are dependant on your foot. My wife asked me if it will help with gas mileage I said no because the foot is down more often to let the V8 synphony sing its siren song.
The Car will be up for a cam in a couple of months I don't know how much will that change the sound but it should be even better.
