Probably the loud mouth one. I'm pretty sure any dumped exhaust is illegal.

I don't know about Texas but in IL the law actually is if it makes it Louder in any way than it was from the factory its Illegal. I roll around with no cats and flowmaster 1 chambers hanging off my LT's though its really illegal... lol!

anything other than stock is classified as illegal, what you want to know is what can you get away with where you live. most cops really don't care about loud domestics.

Loudest exhaust possible? LTs only... dumped. :-) That will be as loud as it's gonna get. As for loudest muffler, I vote LM1

lm1 is pretty much a glorified pipe haha. but it's pretty loud. i would just get headers and electric cutouts then be loud when you want to be, then with a flip of a switch bam your quiet.

No mods in your sig, don't know what you have for exhaust now. If you get LT's and almost any muffler it's going to be f*cking loud at WOT. I say get a high quality exhaust that sounds good at idle and mean at WOT. The loudest can sound raspy, just bad.

When I open the dual cutouts in the y with my setup it can be painfully loud.
