Do SLP Loudmouth's drone ???
 
If so how much.... I hate drone but i want a nice mean exhaust. I dont think corsa's sound mean enough, especially on idle.

Bad Drone With Headers, I'm Putting A Borla On

As far as I know, loudmouth 1 will drone more than any other exhausts, at least more than any others i've ever heard..

BlackScreaminMachine Nov 2, 2007 04:52 PM

Absolutely the worst drone.

Corsa on the other hand do not, as well as Borla if you leave it capped.

Major drone!

It'll drive you nuts on long highway trips.

darn. just as I thought. thanks. I'm thinking of going with GMMG. Anybody heard anything good/bad about them??? Anybody know how they flow?

I've got the LM exhaust and personally love it... it has drone on the freeway... but man, it's worth it when your driving down the local strip and all the heads turn when they hear that beast purrrr... :drive:

:D

Mine seemed really bad cruising around the 2000 RPM range. I had 4.10s in so long highway trips at 75 mph+ would get annoying, but I would just crank the radio up a little more! Other than that, it never really bothered me as a daily driver, and I really liked the way it would sound for just a simple cat-back swap.

Its got an annoying drone and a weird VERY LOUD note around 2k when mildly accelerating.

MdFormula350 Nov 3, 2007 10:58 AM

yeah its kinda rough soundin at some rpms.

longtubes, ory, and LM1. low throttle under 2k its fine for casual driving stop and go, 2 to 3.5k is the bad spot when unless u ride it at those rpms. med. throttle and then shifting easy not to hot sounding IMO.

alot of throttle though the gears once getting up past 3.5k rpms it really sounds loud and mean, not bad at all IMO.

right now I have leaks in the system and I am just going to redo somethings, like vbands in certain areas and full welding in others. I am tired of having leaks and I think makes my idle sound crappy cause of the hiss hiss noises mixed with the loudness.

I guess I would consider this rasp, drone would be the constant sound from cruising. That doesnt brother me much truthfully. I went on vacation 140 miles away and not bad at just in 6th gear with cruise control set to 70 most of the time. rpms not that high maybe around 1800 or so, I have stock 3.42's.

I have the lm1 and headers and it only drones going uphill on the highway.
