Default whats louder???

My setup with the LM or true duals? Using an x-pipe and two bullets. I mean over all loudness not the sound inside the car.
Thanks

I think the LM will be. If you use dual bullets it will be great sounding but i dont think it will be as loud as the LM. IMO the LM sound is nice but the true duals sound much better.
Are you runnning cats?

I've had both. The loudmouth is loud in an unrefined and raw way and the duals are loud in a clean way. When the loudmouth is rasping between 2300-3200rpms it is WAY louder than the duals. At normal cruzing speed they are about the same with the duals being a little louder. But overall the loudmouth will be louder.

i don't know which setup i would rather have. I will have to see and decide. I still can't really drive the car, only put a few miles on it since install, i need to break the clutch in and put it on a dyno. Then when i can i will decide. What kind of gain from change to true duals

If you want the loudest, get the loudmouth. I am running loudmouth with random tech cats and Kooks long tube headers, very loud and mean as hell. I love it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I have an 01' SS with Hooker LT', ORP, and a loudmouth and I love it. Are you running cats? If you are not, and you are looking for the overall loudest exhaust... take the cats off and keep the loudmouth. I love my setup!!!

I've had both the x-pipe setup with longtubes, and loudmouth with no cats and longtubes. The LM setup was ear piercing at WOT from behind the car, but at WOT the X-pipe was just as loud. The x-pipe setup has ALOT of resonance and will rock/rattle every piece in your car. But its the best sounding setup by far, and certainly the most intimidating. The Rasp of the LM/ no cats/lt's blows. I like the setup for a while, then it was just to obnoxious and sounded horrible. I'm now running Magnaflow catback with no cats, and LT's, and I like it the best of all I had. Its really loud when you want it to be, and not when you want to be quiet.
