Default Will cam help out....

I have Hooker longtubes and a loudmouth catback waiting to go on my car. I got the ORP from Hooker. I plan on doing a cam in the semi-near future. If the sound of the exhaust is ridiculous... will putting in a cam like the TR224 w/112 lobe help bring the sound back down to earth. Meaning... will it sort of tame the sound... or refine it at all. (Bet you never thought you'd hear the words loudmouth and refine in the same sentence.

It will be even louder yet. The sound is pretty loud but i dont have carpet in the trunk or back seats so that may let the sound echo. Thats why im getting true duals so it sounds better. The loudmouth with it isnt all that bad but i just cant keep it from rattling. Every other day it rattles. I keep trying to tighten it up for good but no dice.

I would have to say don't do it! That is, once you put your cam in, change out your exhaust to something with a little more rumble and less rasp. Trust me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Oh, and there will be no tone just "LOUD" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
