You want the Loudmouth. I have SLP LT's w/cats and an LM. If you like it loud and want to be noticed, it's your choice. Wind it out in a tunnel or under a bridge, and you'll HURT the people behind you! I've got a ramp where I can do a hole shot opposite stuck rush hour traffic, and it really puts a grin on my face to look over and see 1000 gaping yaps and eyes wide with shock and awe

Did I mention this ramp goes under a bridge???


BTW - I have the Monsoon system and never have trouble hearing it.

So a Loudmouth cat-back sounds pretty good with factory manifolds and y-pipe? Right now my car is totally stock and am wanting a change. And I will more than likely be adding long-tube headers later on, so I need to add that factor in as well...I've never heard a Loudmouth with long-tubes...not so sure if it'll sound that good?

To me, rasp sounds like firecrackers popping in a coffee can. My last setup (macs/ory/cutout/flowmaster catback) was horribly raspy between 2200 and 2600 rpm. Sounded horrible. Once you add headers/ory to the loudmouth, it will amplify the raspy sound. That's why you see a lot of lm owners cutting out the resonator and welding in a bullet muffler. Hope that helps.

You want true duals. GET THEM!

Stock cam with dumped duals is loud, and pretty loud when you get on it.

With a mean cam it's LOUD, seriously LOUD when you get on it.

I wouldn't have it any other way.


I ran open headers for a few weeks and they dwarfed a stock cam plus duals setup. I can only imagine open headers, 12:1 compression and a wicked cam.

I had the LM and Y with just the factory manifolds for a while before I got the LTs and HF Cats. It sounded awesome. If I recall it was a little raspy and would pop a little more, expecially when cold, before I put the LTs on. But people still used to ask me all the time "What exhaust do you have, man? "

Do both! get a couple of LM resonators for $70/apiece, and use those instead of mufflers in your TD set up. Sweet!

I wouldn't.

Why pay $70 for a loudmouth resonator when you can get the standard Dynomax bullets for half that?

If you really want it to sound "sweet" get some Sweet Thunder chambered mufflers.
