Default WS6 Exhaust Help!!!

I have a 2001 WS6 with stock exhaust, soundwise im pretty much deadset on the SLP Loudmouth 1, but I would also like to have the best performance as well, my father told me just to get the muffler only and see how I like it, but my friends tell me I should get an Off Road Y-Pipe so I wont have cats, plus whatever muffler I wanted. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Depends on whether or not longtubes are in your future. If so, Id just slap on a different muffler for the time being. A y pipe that fits stock manifolds won't work with longtubes, so that'd be money wasted. I've got a Dynomax bullet welded in place of the stock muffler on my car and Im content with that until I order headers. As for the LM1, that's a love or hate exhaust around here. I like it on manifolds with cats, but wouldn't have it with headers and ory. Too raspy. Go to ls1sounds.com and have a listen to decide for yourself. Performance wise, it's about as free flowing as you'll find.

Yes I am still trying to decide on what longtubes to get, im a ******* nubcake when it comes to this stuff, but my friend tells me I should get an X-Pipe instead of my current Y-Pipe, what would you suggest?

it all depends on what you like. with a traditional xpipe (not the expensive setup from kooks) youll have no ground clearance but itll sound great. if i were you i would save up and get headers, ory, and a magnaflow for best performance and sound, but its up to you.

Make sure you don't need an OBDII scan where you live before you get rid of the cats. It could cause some headaches.

Well coming from someone who currently had long tubes, ORY, and LM 1 I can tell you this combo is way too loud and raspy as hell! If you like that kind of sound then you will love it I guess lol. I'm changing my setup next week lol

Don't listen to them, I ran that for a while on my old car and all it did was make it louder. Just do it right and save up for the LT's to go with the O/R Y

I vote for Loudmouth 1. It makes the car sound like it should. The only negative thing is there is a little interior drone on the highway. But it's stainless steel and can be had for under $400.

LM is my favorite but just so you know if you go with LTs ORY and no cats combined with a LM1 It's loud to put it nicely
