ARE LONG TUBE HEADERS WORTH IT? I need help from anyone with any knowledge on SLP Long Tube Headers and Loud Mouth Exhaust. I just want to know how loud is it,and is it worth the extra money? Any help would be appreciated!
Some people tell me its obnixously loud. I need to here how loud it is from someone with 1st hand knowledge.
Thank You,

Re: ARE LONG TUBE HEADERS WORTH IT? That was my set-up about a month and half ago. SLP LT's/ no cats/ Loudmouth. It's not THAT loud, at least I didn't think so. And it rocks the house at WOT. But about 5% of the time it has a weird truck glass pack sound(not good). But to me it wasn't that loud and it was easily liveable. I have since went to an X-pipe set-up with bullets then dumps, and I am VERY pleased with the way it sounds. If you have any more ?'s feel free to ask me.
Re: ARE LONG TUBE HEADERS WORTH IT? hey i got a question, i ordered hooker lt's, and am interested in your clearance wi the dumps. do you have any pics of your exhaust?????
i have always wanted to go to true dual w/ x-pipe, and dumps, but thought clearance would be an issue.
i have eibachs w/ bilsteins, so i am lower than stock, but by no mean sitting on the ground

Re: ARE LONG TUBE HEADERS WORTH IT? I have an x pipe and bullets, and I had dumps..had to take them off and route it out the side cuz I guess its illegal here, but if your lowered then you would have a clearance issue im sure, you just have to be carefull
Re: ARE LONG TUBE HEADERS WORTH IT? Mid length headers are good for the low end power, but cut off with the power on the top end. The LTs are going to help you in every way top and low end. So the LTs are definantly worth it.
Re: ARE LONG TUBE HEADERS WORTH IT? Long tubes and a loudmouth will be VERY VERY loud. I will be putting SLP long tubes on with my GMMG exhaust and I am sure it is going to be quite loud. I haven't been able to hear anyone with a true dual so I'm not sure how they compare. I'd really like to hear someone's setup with a true dual and some chambered sections

Re: ARE LONG TUBE HEADERS WORTH IT? A guy in town here has SLPs w/ cats and a Loudmouth and it's really f'ing loud, IMO. Unless you like you're car to be extremely loud, you'll be looking for a new exhaust system.

Re: ARE LONG TUBE HEADERS WORTH IT? I've heard some that have a really tuned sound and some that are just obnoxious, but they are all loud as sin! Personally I went with a cutout and a more mild sounding(yet extremely high flowing) catback. This really helps. Threw the catback I have a very distinct muscle car sound and everyone loves the tone. Cutout Open... well let's just say one Stang buddy desribed my car as sounding like the apocalypse! That one put a huge smile on my face.
But man sometimes you just don't want the car screaming. That's what makes the cutout such a great toy.
I think the LM and LTs are a mistake. But that's me. If you want constant attention(cops included) then it's a legit setup. if you have a wife/girlfriend, do yourself a favor and go the cutout/mild catback route. You won't regret it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
