Just ordered a Loudmouth, Qs inside I have been planning on going with a true dual system, but I am lowering the car and I didn't want to risk the ground clearance loss. Anyway, I just placed my order for a Loudmouth (something I never thought I would do) since they are cheap and made of stainless steel. My main question......I am not a fan of the interior resonance of my cutout. Should I go ahead and order a bullet muffler to replace the resonator in the Loudmouth? If I waited, would I have to cut the resonator off of the Loudmouth to replace it? Thanks in advance.
Also, I know lots of people do not like the sound of the Loudmouth, but for those that do....please make me feel better by telling me how much you like the catback. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Just ordered a Loudmouth, Qs inside Well it depdends on what your setup is. I had the loudmouth with my bolt ons and loved the sound! It's much more raw and mean than other more expensive systems like Corsa and B&B IMO. When I got the longtubes with offroad pipes however the car was extremely loud, sounded like a funnycar. I had a Borla XR-1 Oval Sportsman muffler welded in the rear and replaced the resonator with a straight thru pipe and cutout. Oh BTW, if you plan on doing it you will have to block off the passenger side tip. This setup sounds very nice thru the muffler. If you have just bolt ons and no longtubes/offroad pipe I would just see how you like the Loudmouth and then maybe replace the resonator with a bullet muffler if you don't like it. However if you plan and getting longtubes and offoroad pipes I got condsiderable feedback from this site that a bullet muffler won't quiet it down that much. Email me and I can send you pics of my setup. ~tony

Re: Just ordered a Loudmouth, Qs inside LS1 Speed told me it would be a week before mine shipped, although I'm pretty sure the site said they had some in stock waiting to ship....

Re: Just ordered a Loudmouth, Qs inside Ive had the loud mouth cat back for a long time, back when they used to be shipped with cheap sh*t excuse for exhaust tips and the rear part was in one peice. My car was not a daily driver so i really didnt care about the drone/resonance. Every once in a while when I would take my car on long trips I would get a headache because of the drone/resonance. Early this year I got long tubes headers installed and that not only reduced the drone/resonance but also improved the sound of the LM. Now I think it sounds awsome and I can drive my car all day long and not be bothered by the drone/resonance, which is good since I now drive my car a lot more.

Re: Just ordered a Loudmouth, Qs inside i ordered my loudmouth exhaust on friday june 9th and they said it would be shipped out on monday since it was later in the day and i received it friday june 14th so it was like 4 working days. i ordered it from ls1speed.com i even got it for a cheaper price since they will meet anybodys price. so i got a good deal on it.everwhere else had been on backorder so i decided to keep looking. im in love with that damn thing. sounds so badass.if anyone is looking into getting one call ls1speed.com and tell them you seen it for 325 at ls1motosports.com and theyll give it to u at that price but w/out shipping charges of course.

Re: Just ordered a Loudmouth, Qs inside So, all of a sudden, only one person owns a Loudmouth? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Thanks for the reply though. I think I will just stick with the resonator right now, and hopefully it will sound great since I'm running manifolds and cats. Thanks to anyone else who wants to reply.
