which is louder: td's out the back or lm would true duals out the back be louder than the loudmouth, not sure what mufflers for the duals, which ones are loudest, i assume some bullet
i want as loud as i can get but i dont want the td's dumped, i dont like how they sound outside the car, all muffled sounding, and i want something going through a muffler so no cutout, i want a good sound
i will be running lt's and an ory and the lm, or lt's x and td's out the back
im not too crazy about the loudmouth sound but if thats the loudest i will get it, i know i will learn to like it

When I was running LT's, ory, and loudmouth there was nothing good sounding about it with the exception of idle and WOT. Most of the time the car is not at either of those unless it's a track only car.

i just want to be as loud as i can, maybe i should just go w/ cutouts after the headers, i dont know i jsut want the loudest i can make it, my main reason for saying no to cutouts is the same as saying no to td's, i dont like the sound coming out under the car, sounds too muffled when outside the car

Verdad Gallardo Wouldnt TD's be the loudest for the same reason why LT headers are louder then shorty headers with more exhaust flow? LT's give you more flow so wouldnt it yeild more noise considering you dont put any mufflers on it

My TSP/bullets system is now run out the back, with magnaflow cats, and is probably still louder than a LM. Check out the pictures/videos links in my sig.
My true duals are loud period. However you route the pipes and point them is where the majority of the sound will be projected. I have mine currently dumped, but have flanged the mufflers to allow me to disconnect the dumps and run the pipes out the back with no problems. It is very loud out the back.
I just picked my car up yesterday. I got LT's, ORY and SLP LM II on that beast. I wanted loud, and holy **** did I ever get it. Ear to ear grin all the way home. I got the tune scheduled now and I'll be set. If you want around town loudness then this setup will not disappoint you. Plus, it sounds so incredibly sweet at WOT. I probably look retarded just driving around smiling like an idiot the whole time, but I do not care. I love this setup.

I've had LT's, ORY and LM on mine for almost 2 weeks now and love it too. The tune helped out a lot on the part throttle sound. Everyone that has heard my car since the LT's and ORY has liked it.
