Which Exhaust System? (Catback) Hey just wondering which catback is the best i heard alot about loudmouths and how good they are but I'm not sure i dont see a muffler, Are loudmouths just the tips?? If So what kind of muffler would u use? I also wanna know if anyone has the quad Exhaust set-up Looks pretty cool if u ask me. Post pics of your Exhaust systems, Thanks.

Re: Which Exhaust System? (Catback) Loudmouth is the entire system. Instead of a muffler it has a resonator, which makes it pretty loud ..hence the name. I've had mine for a few months along with the SLP Long tube headers and Ypipe and love the setup. I've gotten a lot of compliments on the sound of my car ... They offer the dual tips or dual/dual tips.
Re: Which Exhaust System? (Catback) cant go wrong with loudmout however if you plan on doing headers you need to take it into consideration cause if you thinks its loud without headers youll die if you put a set on. IMO

Re: Which Exhaust System? (Catback) Thanks, If i just put the loudmouth kit on will my Car pass emissions still? <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" />
Re: Which Exhaust System? (Catback) GMMG - not quite as loud as the loudmouth but still plenty loud - although more expensive. Sounds beautiful with headers.
As far as "best" there really isn't a best. Its all about personal taste - what sound you like. All will give you gains - some a little bit more than others, but most are similar as far as gains go.

Re: Which Exhaust System? (Catback) What kind of sound do you want? Ive heard plenty of different ls1 cars with and with out cats and headers because i used to work a muffler place. Borla puts out a sick sound with the off-road y-pipe, but yet is a completely different sound that the SLP set up. Both are mean but it depends on what kind of sound you want for your car.. tell me what sound your going for and ill give you my opinion on what to get.

Re: Which Exhaust System? (Catback) 1badz,
I'm looking for a nice deep throaty exhaust that is loud enough to get attention when I step on it, but doesn't drown out the radio when cruising. Also, has no rasp or nasty popping sound on reving.
So whatta ya suggest exhaust doc? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Which Exhaust System? (Catback) Matt,
I am running the SLP Dual/Dual behind FLP's with the off road pipes. I think it sounds awesome, not as loud as Borla or LM but it has a deep throaty tone to it.
I live in Pearland also and you are more than welcome to listen to it.
What are you driving?

Re: Which Exhaust System? (Catback) WildZ28 - I would not get the Flowmaster cat-back. Almost everyone on here that has that exhaust either hates it or has swapped it out for a different exhaust. Do a search on it and you will see what I mean. I have heard that the Hooker cat-back is good. I love my Whisper aggressor. I think Thunder might still sell them.

Re: Which Exhaust System? (Catback) The Dynomouth mod sounds awesome.
It's very inexpensive too. Mine was $140 with professional installation.
The idle is very deep, a little on the quiet side. Up to about 3k rpms it is just bass. After 3k it really growls, the intimidation factor goes up quickly with the volume. At WOT it just screams. Music to my ears. The volume is easily controlled with the throttle.
For all kinds of info and links to pics/video of this mod, go to page 2 of my website.
Good luck
Dave

Re: Which Exhaust System? (Catback) By the way, on a little different subject in this thread:
Don't mess with Flowmaster on our cars. The muffler design is totally different than a Mustang because of the crossflow. Flows just don't work well on our cars...
For example:
Flowmasters flow about 350 cfm.
Borla and Hooker around 900 cfm.
Magnaflow right at 1100 cfm.
DynoMax bullets (24219 & 24222) flow over 2200 cfm.
Quite a difference...

Re: Which Exhaust System? (Catback) I agree with the others, depends on your taste of sound. There are sound clips all over the net on exhaust systems. DCVtech performance on the sidebar has sound clips of the loudmouth w/ and w/out headers.
