Default TSP rumbler catback..

im trying to get a new catback system for my car and im not trying to spend to much money on it because i need extra cash for tunning and this catback seems to be in my budget, but from what i can tell from videos i think it sounds too much like slp loudmouth and i kind of want something a little more different and little quieter...so i guess my question is if anybody on here is got it on their vehicle or heard it before and can kind of tell me what it sounds like or if they like it or not....

Its quieter than SLP and its not nearly as raspy. It was actually quieter than i thought it would be. I have a few videos if you wanna see them. Videos can make it sound a little different tho.

if you want stainless get a SLP LM and just add a bullet muffler to it! I got a slp LM for $100 cleaned it up with steel wool and good as new and a magnaflow bullet muffler for free worth about $80. So there ya go here are some sound clips of mine with pacesetters and tsp ory.

I cant really answer that because its been maybe a year and a half since i heard a LM in person. But it most people say it sounds alot better. It is very tame inside the car. Heres the links. Dont laugh at the bad driving, it was my first time at the track lol.

LM with headers and no cat sound good 10% of the time! The other 90% sounds like a raspy farm truck!

LM sound fine and no rasp with cats

i've got the tsp rumbler - seems to be a little different and quieter, but its basically the same concept as the LM1.

it is loud. going up a hill at part throttle, i feel like cops are thinking about giving me a ticket. WOT sounds fantastic... cruising around sounds fantastic... part throttle acceleration can be a little louder than you want at times though.

for me, magnaflow was too quiet and i wanted something that flowed a little better. tsp rumbler is staying on my car until it rusts off.

Yes it is same concept but the rumbler has a bullet MUFLER the lm1 dosnt have a muffler at all it has a 100% hollow tube/resonator. So the LM1 is basicly like running open headers/straight pipes out the back!

The TSP Rumbler comes with a Dynomax Bullet muffler, so it should not be quite as loud as the SLP Loud Mouth. We have had great luck with the Rumbler, for the money you can't go wrong!

i also have it and i can say that from 2200-3000 rpm it has a considerable amount of rasp...when i was all boltons with no cam and my buddy was completely stock other then the SLP LM1 catback we parked our cars side by side and compared them...the rumbler is definatly quieter at all speeds and idle....it is a little deaper and once i went headers and cam the sound got even better....the rasp between those RPMs is my only complaint...everything else is great and for the price you cant beat it !

man my car got a lot more rasp after the cam install..but i love it..i dont know why, but i think the rasp makes it sound mean...i think if i put cats on it it would take away a lot of rasp..but like i said..i kinda like it..there's so many rednecks around here who just put loud *** catbacks on there silverado's that having rasp actually makes my car sound different..not to mention is scares a lot of mustangs/ricers away
