New exhaust, need opinions and pics of x-pipe on M6 Fbody.... If you have any pics of your x-pipe installed on your Camaro or Trans Am please post em.
I currently have a M6 SS with SLP Headers and off road pipes with the SLP Loudmouth. In my opinion the the loudmouth is a great cat back system, but as soon as you add headers you lose that nice quality sound. Idle is ok and slow cruising it sounds good, but any RPM 3k+ and the car sounds like a raped ape.
I'm working on changing over to 1 of these 2 exhaust systems right now. I will retain my SLP headers and off road pipes, try to flow them into a x-pipe, probably Dr.Gas, then after the x-pipe run true dual out the side (in front of the back tires) using oval 3" with 2 spintech oval sportsman mufflers. My other design is to run 3" or 2.5" after the x-pipe into a 2 in 2 out muffler and turn down before the axle.
I don't really care about how loud my exhaust is, I'm just trying to improve the quality and retain the flow. I don't think the SLP Loudmouth was made to work headers. I think at WOT the exhaust flow is too great for the resinator. Switching out to a Dynomax bullet has cross my mind but for now I am going to give this x-pipe and duals and shot.
Any opinions? or if you have undercar pics of your x-pipe, I would love to see em.
Also OnyxSS do you have any other pics of your side exit exhaust? under car pics?
Thanks!

Re: New exhaust, need opinions and pics of x-pipe on M6 Fbody.... I'm gonna try to get pics up soon of my x-pipe system.
Here's what it consists of...MAC headers, Dr Gas x-pipe system, Dynomax bullets, turndowns before the axle. Very deep and very smooth sound. No rasp at all. At idle it purrs like a kitten, and at WOT it screams <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
