Default Loudmouth installed, not that loud

Well, I installed the Loudmouth tonight. I was somewhat nervous thinking that it would be too loud. Nope, just the opposite. It is actually a lot quieter than I thought it would be. Very pleased with the sound of it. So if your trying to decide on a loudmouth, but think it will be too loud, go for it cuz its not bad at all. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

That's true, I haven't done that yet. I'll have to try that tomorrow night. I live in an old folks neighborhood too. That can be the test. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Jus to be safe, I wouldn't run it crazy righ t after installing. I say let it complete a good easy heatcycle and let it cool. Then it will prob be a lil louder too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

I am in Ohio and I tried to get that as my license plate, "KIZ MY SS". They rejected it saying that it was a "hate plate". Told me I couldn't drive around telling people to kiss my a$$.

Damn, that would never fly here. They wouldn't let me have anything with SS in it. Kept saying I was implying A$$, which I was...but anyways. Sweet SS...nope. Bad SS...nope. Big SS...nope. It was hopeless <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Long ago when I bought mine I too thought it was going to be extrememly loud like every one descibed it (Wake up the neighbors or hear you coming a mile away:rolleyes) it but it wasnt that much louder than the American Thunder Cat back I had. Even with the headers I still dont think its loud. Everyone tells me it is but since Ive never heard my car from the outside so I dont really know what it sounds like as Im driving by. The headers did get rid of that dreaded 2000rpm drone/resonance that annoyed me on long trips.
