now if you like loud, the rasp of the LM wont bother you. the TSP rumbler i have at some rpms ive noticed it has a little bit of that rasp. but so far, all ive got are compliments. i drove up to ft. worth yesterday, and the few times i stopped, i got two "that sounds awesome"s and one "hell yeah". the only people i ever hear complain about the loud mouth with headers are people on these forums. the everyday people seem to like it. thats just what ive seen out in the real world.

and besides, if you dont like it, cut the resonator out of the loudmouth and weld in a dynomax bullet(like i have) or borla muffler.

If you dont like it loud run the factory catback and install cutouts for when you want to play. I put my factory catback on the car this weekend, quite at highway speeds and sound okay when your in it.

i liked it at first too, until i realized that it was running bad. it took me a while to get it that it wasnt supposed to be running the way it was. of course, it didnt start the actual sputtering until about 20 mins into the drive.
