Help!! loudmouth exhaust
Help!! loudmouth exhaust Hey guys!
I need some help. I live in denton county in Tx and was going to install SLP's loud mouth on my 00 Z28. I called up my local muffler shop [Have no tools <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> ] and asked them about it. they said they wont touch it coz it has no muffler . I told them that SLP claimed it was street legal. i want to know if any one around here has had a problem with the loud mouth exhaust passing state inspection? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Help!! loudmouth exhaust hey man save some loot and do it yourself. i did it with a pair of jackstands, socket set, hacksaw, and a hammer. total install time was about 4 hours. i could easily do it in 2.5 now.

Re: Help!! loudmouth exhaust hhhmmm, that sucks, figured i would have troube with my borla b/c of the straight pipe, but they installed it and left the plate out like i asked. check some other shops and show them the resonator.
Re: Help!! loudmouth exhaust The LM is legal. I put my catback on myself, but my Dad had a shop remove the mufflers on his F150 and put in straight pipes. It sounds damn good too (for a Ford) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> . Find another shop.
Re: Help!! loudmouth exhaust The resonator is technically a muffler. Someone wrote extensively on the SLP message board. Standard mufflers are wave cancellation mufflers i.e. packing material. Flowmaster, Corsa, etc are wave reflection mufflers, and there is a third style I can't remember off the top of my head. The LM resonator is a type of wave reflection muffler, it just happens to be very ineffective. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Help!! loudmouth exhaust Passing inspections wouldn't be a problem either. The cats do all the work. My limits were really low with the loudmouth on. No probs. here. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Help!! loudmouth exhaust Technically ANY aftermarket exhaust that is louder then your stock is illegal. Trust me on this. I have like 18 cop friends.
That said, most cops will not bother to enforce this law since it is a hassle. Plus, DB levels are not checked during emmisions.
Anyway, buy two rhino ramps, one wrench, and a hacksaw... and save yourself money.

Re: Help!! loudmouth exhaust I installed mine myself in under two hours. It's easier to remove the stock exhaust if you saw it off just before the rear axle with a SawsAll. The Loud Mouth isn't all that loud unless you remove the cats. Cops won't bother you unless you go by them full throttle!
Re: Help!! loudmouth exhaust got mine put on by a local muffler shop, no questions asked. I would also suggest welding, mine is and i have no rattles that i have heard sometimes happen when its clamped on
