Default Exhaust question

How much louder would the loudmouth catback be than the magnaflow catback? I'm curious, cause the magnaflow just isn't loud enough anymore, and headers are a no go for right now.

Eh, on a car without LTs, it isn't going to be bad at all. You'll get some resonance, but it shouldn't be too bad. That will change with LTs though.

Is it alot louder than magnaflow, or only marginally? That's my main concern at this time. I know it'll flow a little better.

if you still have stock manifolds and cats its a great exhaust. i just took mine off and put the magnaflow on with my long tubes. the magnaflow sounds great with the lt's. as far as lm1 its pretty loud and has a great sound with manifolds and cats.
