I will be doing some changes to my exhaust soon and Im tired of my old set up. I was thinking about doing duals with an x pipe and dumping two loud mouth mufflers. But I have never heard any body doing this. Just wanted to see what everyone else thought

Can't imagine it'd be a whole hell of a lot different than TSP duals with the dynomax mufflers. Just a thought...

That's pretty much identical to TSP's True Dual Kit. Go to their web site to look it up, for pics and description. But basically it's pipes off headers into an xpipe, then pipes to the axle, dumped with bullets.

Overall they sound good, but they are loud! Be prepared for having people hear you coming from blocks away lol.

Have you considered the Bassani True Dual kit? It's much quieter and more refined. It's an all-inclusive kit that your muffler guy assembles on the car. It's 2.5" with volumetric xpipe and over the axle and out the rear. It's slightly more money but worth it, because it's stainless steel (an aluminized version is also available).

The loudmouth 1 "mufflers" are just empty cases, making them more of a resonance chamber ....they'll be louder than any bullet muffler with packing.

well I have the true duals with glass packs now with no x but it feels like I lost low end torque with no x, so i figured I would add a x and change the mufflers. I like the loud loud sound. I dont like the dynomax mufflers my friend has them on a lt1 and I cant stand them. I will give the loud mouth a try and let you now how it comes out

its been discussed before and if your going to use the bullet mufflers (LM II) then it would sound similar to the tsp duals as someone already said but if your going to use the resonators then it would be pointless to run them, just run the x-pipe and dumps before the rear as the LM I resonators are just hollow piping.
