It is very loud and pretty raspy. Some love it, some hate it. It's subjective, you'd have to drive/hear one in person.

It's loud. Provides similar gains to every other catback.

It's loud.

I have a SLP Loudmouth II exhaust with the dual slash 2.5" tips and I love it personally. It all comes to taste.. If you like loud, then go with the loudmouth lol

Issues with the law have nothing to do with the design of your exhaust. It's all about your right foot.

Hooker Aerochamber - LOVE it. It's inexpensive, sounds good, won't drone, and fits great.

I've always like Magnaflow catbacks. Nice sound, more docile at idle.

Just as he said...some love it, some hate it. Me personally, I think it sounds like the Honda's that fly around my area. Too raspy for my taste.

Personally I think LM sounds like garbage with and without headers, heard it in person a few times. Sound however is so subjective that I recommend you hear a car with it in real life. I really like Magnaflow which is also stainless and about the same price. Has a much better tone but if you want ***** out loud then the LM will give you that. I would go LMII before I would LM, haven't heard it in person but imagine it to be alittle better.

I've always like a lower more "controlled" sound, which is why I don't care for the LM.

GMMG and Magnaflow sound the best IMO, just depends on how much you want to spend.
