when i had the lm1 + headers i had bad rasp, but when i put the borla xr1 on it sounded better.
im looking for a new setup so that why im asking about the true duals.
if true duals are louder than my lm1 and headers than i dont think ill go that route. haha

Btw, I have a catted Y with my LM1 and LT's. That probably gets rid of most of the rasp. Here's a video of the setup on my car...

Here's another video of the same setup...not my car, but it's a good example of a driveby video...

Guys...guys...

True duals ARE NOT loud. At all. True duals are no louder than a y-pipe setup. True duals just have a reputation for being loud on F-body's because there isn't any room for large mufflers unless you get a really expensive custom job done. If you use bullets or sweet thunders, it doesn't matter if you have true duals or a y-pipe. Both will be loud.

Stock Mustangs have true duals.

Stock GTO's have true duals.

Stock Corvettes have true duals.

Are any of them loud? They're quiet as air.

If you make true duals with Loudmouth resonators, it'll be just about as loud as a y-pipe setup with a Loudmouth. Maybe a tad louder due to more efficient exhaust, but hardly noticeable.

Sorry, I just hate it when people say, "What's louder? True duals or catback X?"

Well...what mufflers are you going to use? That's going to dictate how loud it is. If you get a Loudmouth I, it's going to be louder than true duals with spiral flows. The true duals may SEEM louder if you get them dumped. Dump your Loudmouth, then. You'll see it's louder.

I think you have it backwards there bud. LM1 sounds INCREDIBLE at WOT, like Nascar, but kind of sounds like *** just puttin around town in the lower RPMs.

Here's one of mine, cam, headers, and loudmouth -

Fairly light acceleration



New custom exhaust set-up coming shortly, I'll post a vid of it when finished. Then time to swap over to a VR cam and FAST.

I say not only is dumped TD's just as loud if not louder, it sounds so much cleaner in MOST cases...loud isnt always good if it sounds like ***

If you like loud and raspy LM1 is going to be that for sure.
I have it on my TA with tuned LT's cats, ypipe and I like it. It is not a DD but when I do drive it I enjoy it.
Listen to some clips of cars that have what you either have or plan on having.
This thread has been repeated sooooo many times and every time your going to get the same answer....... The majority of people dont like lt's ory or hf cats and lm1.



I do! Heres mine http://video.cardomain.com/clip.aspx...E297D30CBF2D81

When this video was taken the LT's, cats, ypipe, LM1 were all that were on the car. other wise it was stock down to the paper air filter.

LT's, H-pipe, Flowmaster Super 44's dumped. That's what i would go with if i had extra cash laying around. MY buddy had super 44's through an X-pipe dumped on hit LT1 and his **** sounded MEAN!!

I just went from stock manifolds/Y with LM-1 to LT'S and TSP true duals. I did a before and after video of the swap. you can use the vid i quoted as comparision as my car is also otherwise stock in the vid.
