MAC's+Loudmouth?
MAC's+Loudmouth? Anyone running this?How loud is this gonna be without cats?I'm hoping this combo + LS6 intake & cam will put me mid 12's.My best ET to date is 13.15 @ 108 with a lid,GMS MAF,& a cut-out.Usually the car does 13.5's.My car has dynoed as high as 338 but is normally 320ish RWHP.Any feed back would be truly appreciated. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Re: MAC's+Loudmouth? Your car will be UNGODLY loud. I had this setup for a while, and it really took the fun out of the car. There is a terrible rasp that just resonates at 2500rpms, the police will be all over you, and your neighbors will hate you....the ones that live 3 blocks away. My advice is to go one of two ways:
1. Go for the loudmouth, but put some dynomax bullets in the Y-pipe. I did, and it sounded better, but killed some power and I couldn't keep them from banging the floorboard.
2. Go for a quiet catback and put a cutout on it. I have the Mccord power plate on my cutout and a Dynomax ultraflow catback. I can have quiet or bone-shaking loud at the flip of a switch.

Re: MAC's+Loudmouth? Yes LOUD. do you have either? And what about tranny auto or 6spd? Think about a converter if auto.
I run the hooker with macs-ORP and it sounds good. LM would just kill any chance of driving the car and liking the volume.

Re: MAC's+Loudmouth? I have the SLP LM w/MAC headers & cats and a bullet muffler.
It sounds perfect. It is a little loud until the ST3500 locks up, but it sounds good. No rasp.
Sounds more old school muscle car sounding than anything.
At WOT, it just screams...................
I am planning to get an ORP installed for track only purposes, but maybe for everyday driving depending on how loud it gets.

Re: MAC's+Loudmouth? The Loudmouth without cats is the most god awful sound I have ever heard. I was stuck with that setup for a couple of months, and was embarassed to drive my car in public...

Re: MAC's+Loudmouth? Thanks.The consensus is LOUDMOUTH-CATS=DIRTBAG.
I guess I should follow up by asking"WHO MAKES THE BEST CATS?"
I've heard that MAC supplied cats are garbage.
