Exhaust sound after Header and cam install.
Exhaust sound after Header and cam install. I currently have a slp loudmouth catback with the resonator. I will be installing pacesetter lt's with non cat y-pipe. Also I will be slappin a tr224 112 cam in. How loud will my car be? Will it sound any good?? Should I buy a bullet muffler and put it in place of the resonator? Any suggestions would help.

If you like the sound of a '70s trash truck, then you'll love the Loudmouth with that cam, LTs, and ORY.
Definitely swap out the resonator for a (insert preferred brand name here) muffler.

A cam will make the car idle alot louder. Once the car warms up it idles fairly quiet with stock cam. A big cam will make it idle loud.
I wouldnt waste my time with a bullet. I would use a magnaflow, spiral flow, or borla muffler in the I pipe.

I did the same setup..it sounds really good at idle and wide open..but mid-range sounds like "garbage truck"
I'm not picky about exhaust, but it sounds god awful during normal driving, I'm getting a magnaflow muffler to put in place of the resonator within the week. Apparently a muffler or a catted-y helps get rid of the rasp heard in the 2-3000 RPM range.

It sounds good, but its loud as sin. I have mac mids, ory (gutted cats), and slp lm with a 232/238 cam with over .600 lift and although it sounds absolutley evil its way too loud if your using the car fairly often and for fairly long drives. The drone will plain give you a headache. i already purchased a magnaflow exhaust and im just waiting for it to come in, then im going to have a cutout installed so ill have that insane unruly sound when I want it but then it will be a little more tame through the magnaflow. Try it out with the headers/ory/slp lm/cam and see if you like it but trust me it will be loud.

sounds more like nothing but loud uncontrolled exhaust with LOTS of rasp. 
Keep it the way it is with the loudmouth. See how you like it first before people on the site tell you how you are going to feel. You may like it. Everybody I talk to says that my car sounds like a prostock car (dozens of people). It is the rawest of all the exhaust systems...sounds very NHRA prostock in my opinion.
I love it!!! I have Absolute Speed stage 2 heads w/ a 230/236 cam on a 112lsa

well if you want look at me loudness the setup you have planned will get you that.
I don't mind loud with a good tone but honestly as many other say the tone is just bad.
To each his own though.
ill try it of course. i will get some sound files hopefully also. a friend of mine has hp tuners and he has tuned a lot of cars. everyone i have talked to loves what he has done. myself included.
