I guess its a matter of personal preference about what you think "too loud" is. I'm sure plenty of guys on here have that setup tho.

Most good headers are going to dyno about the same. And most would agree that the loudmouth sounds best with stock manifolds setup, not as good with headers and ory (too loud and raspy).

LM1 sounds decent on the stockers, but like most people say, it does get raspy and drone pretty bad with LTs...Its all a personal preference thing, it will be loud, and neighbors might complain, but it usually isn't as loud as something like true duals...have fun with the car...
