Default ***LOUDMOUTH***

Just thought I'd share my thoughts on my loud-mouth exhaust. My initial response when I first fired up my firechicken <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I love the sound of this dang thing! Rasp, what rasp? I don't know, maybe I've become deaf already from my previous setup <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

All I know is that I love the burble and WOT scream that the LM creates. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I know what you mean! I love mine too!!! Wish I had gotten it when I first got the car. I went from stock, to B&B, and then to Flowmaster 80 series.....NOTHING WAS LOUD ENOUGH!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

I can't wait to put a set of MACs in front of this thing..... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

When I first installed my LM I was surprised by how docile it was at idle. Even the guy at the exhaust shop was impressed. Don't ya love driving under overpasses now? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Love mine too. Only has one problem though it seems to backfire a lot. Other than that I love it.

I can't wait to get mine either! I've been waiting almost 3 weeks from the DCV GP to get them... my only concern is DCV hasen't responded to any e-mails I sent the past couple days (and they usually responded a few mins after I ask them a Q <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> )

I've had mine for over a month now, and im loving it...
Does have drone inside the car at about 2000 RPM's.

Is there anyway to get rid of drone? People talk about replacing the resonator, what can i replace it with?
Will that make it sound any louder/better??

About backfire, i dont have that, but you may have an exhaust leak somewhere... <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

I've had my LM now for about 3 months. I never had a chance to run against an SS or WS6 (mine's a '98 T/A 6-speed) before the install, and have gone against both since. Each time the other cars got the jump on my and I reeled them both in. One of these days I'll get some dyno #'s. My only other mods are an LA1 lid and SLP subframe's. Oh and I too LOVE overpasses and tunnels!!! (windows down, of course)

Got some dyno numbers this weekend. My T/A's got 70K easy miles on it, I only get deep into it occasionally, and the shop I went to could tell. The first pull netted 294.4 hp and 302.9 trq, the 2nd netted 298.8/310.5 and the 3rd showed 301.9/314.9. They basically said I need to drive it harder to get the ECM to adjust the A/F ratio and spark for more power. I was happy with the outcome. Next on the list are SLP long tubes to go along with the LM.
