right now i have a stainless magnaflow catback with no resonator and its really quiet until i get on it and then it wakes up a little, but just sitting there it is way too quiet. I was wondering if i should just go out and get a LM1 catback or if there is anything i can do to my current exhaust that'll make it sound at least decently loud

 

I have a LM1 and really like the sound, some poeple think it is to loud. The cheapest thing to do is remove your muffler and add a piece of pipe.

 

that would be quite an expensive muffler to remove good idea though

 

Add a cut-out... simple as that.

 

+1 for a cutout.

or surf www.ls1sounds.com for one that you like and do it.

 

Put a cam in

 

Full exhaust wakes it up a bit

I just installed PS LT's and ORY i think its loud enough to cause problems in the neighborhood if its late.

 

Cutout or Pacesetter LTs and ORY. Granted I've got a 224/228 cam, but the sound with the Pacesetters, ORY, and Magnaflow is perfect to me. Not insanely loud when just cruising, but not quiet by any means. Great tone, though. I've gotten multiple compliments from all kinds of people just sitting at a stoplight. And when you get on it, it gets pretty loud and mean.

 

Cam cut-out headers will do the trick

 

Just swap in a resonator...Installed my LM1 a few mths back and I love it w/ Catted Mac Mids.

 

im goin for a t-rex cam when i finally have the cash for it so within the next month i guess that brings me to the question of what headers and y pipe should i be goin with

 

ive got pacesetters longtubes, ory, and magnaflow and a cam and its still quiet. ive actually tossed around the idea of going with a loudmouth. then again, i dont want to attract any cops.. so i might just add a cut out.

 

I got kooks LT - ory - slp LM2 and it sounds great , imo

 

look on LS1sounds.com, you can hear the difference between the 2 exhausts.

as a side note on this thread, whats the difference between the LM1 and LM2? i know i have a LM on my car but im thinking its the LM1. whats the diff?

 

I ran mine with just the cat less Y pipe and it still sounded weak.

Every time I hear open headers on 350, I still think it's weak.

I am just use to hearing a big block with just 3" mufflers. When you hear that for a long *** period of time, everything else seems - eh'. You feel that **** in you checst.



If you wan't pretty loud and throaty and have cash to spend. Get a true dual settup with mufflers only.

 

LM1 uses a straight through resonator while the LM2 uses a straight through muffler

 

ive heard that the LM1 sounds more ballsy than LM2 truth?

 

These are the 2 exhausts im throwing around aswell. I have a friend with the lm1 and its really raspy while driving fast

 

get a cutout

 

check out my car with a LM1 stock car.
