Default any exhaust worth changing over SLP dual dual?

I am only interested in hp/et, I dont care about looks or sound. I do want full exhaust...no turn downs etc.

Is there any cat back that will make a "real" over my SLP dual dual? I already have FLP/offroad pipes. Is the Borla with no plates worth any hp? any others?

SLP loudmouth. It's basically just piping. It will also save a few pounds.

I would stick to the SLP dual/dual. Most tests show it flows as good as any exhaust out there and is reasonably quite running FLP's and ORP. if you really want a open exhaust, buy a cut out and save a bundle..

YEAH, I SAY STICK WITH THAT. I HAVE SLP LOUDMOUTH AND I LOVE IT. IT IS REALLY ******* LOUD ,BUT I GUESS PEOPLE REALLY LIKE THERE DUAL DUAL TOO. IF YOU WANT JUST GET A CUT OUT AND SAVE SOME MONEY LIKE DAN SAID. BUT AS FAR AS SOUND AND WEIGHT GOES SLP LOUDMOUTH ALL THE WAY. LOOKS GOOD TOO.

Coming from a guy running the SLP dual/dual w/ FLP's and ORP, I vote to keep the dual/dual. I have a cutout on mine for when the power reaches the point that it will be useful. Until then, I'll just keep it closed. I've track-tested the SLP dual/dual twice now, two different days at two different tracks, and both times I saw 0 gain in ET or MPH from the cutout being open.

With my mods I actually gained seat of the pants feel in the lower RPMs and noticed no upper RPM loss when going to the Dual Dual from the Loudmouth.

And now I can hear my $3,500.00 worth of stereo. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

I've had both.

Do the Loudmouth.

I've had the OEM dual/dual, now a LM.

Anyone heard the "new" dual/dual SLP is selling as aftermarket? I may go that route if i can get a sound that is ~2OTL (that is the best sounding exhaust ever made, IMO)

I went fron Dual Dual to SLP Loudmouth and picked up 5 RWHP over the dual dual. There is a big crimp where you go over the axel that the SLP Loudmouth does not have its perfect plus it weighs about 20 lbs less so if you like it loud the SLP Loudmouth!

I had my exhaust guy run new 3" intermediate pipe all the way back to the muffler, so that's not a problem for me. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

I agree with that 100% except I went from the loudmouth to the 2OTL and couldn't be more happier. I've had stock, hookers, loudmouth, and now the 2OTL. I think the 2OTL has got to be the best flowing catback with a muffler since its a straight shot through the muffler out to the other pipes. Sounds great, not to loud, flows great but most people don't like the look and its $200 cheaper than the "dual dual". Joe..
