ok cool cause i dont want to do full exhaust and get ticketed. i dont think i would anyways. cops are pretty reasonable in my area. main reason is my insurance company hate sme.

A buddy of mine has it with some Lt's and ORY and its pretty loud. I however woouldnt trade the sound of my cammed CORSA exhaust for anything because It has absolutely no rasp and is considerably loud as well.

I think the LM is obnoxiously loud, but then again I'm 42 years old. The SS I bought a few years back had on on it, and I immediately replaced it with the Corsa. No shrinking violet, but a more refined tone with no rasp.

Your lucky. Your on the mainland and can get the 2 dollar shipping but they want $75 for me.

They can make a badass deal like $2 shipping to the cont. united states but they can't get me something similar? Like $20?

oh yeah i forgot the lack of any real shipping cost. well i was just wondering if there were any other sponsors offering a base price cheaper. I'm a very poooooooooooooor college student, who just quit his job. of course that changes come summer time but i'd like the loudness sooner rather than later.

Much quieter than my wide-open dual cut-outs.

Thanks and I think you're right. Last time I got pulled over was for no front plate. I was in bumper to bumper traffic. When he got to the door I told him that he only pulled me over because of the flames and that had I been an "average" car he wouldnt have done it. He said "oh I didnt even see the flames". I said come on you're not that stupid. I've also been pulled over twice just because of the noise and was told I was speeding. One time I was only 5 over and the other I wasnt at all because he didnt even know the posted speed limit. Each of those times I was just pulling out of a turn lane or out onto the road. Another time I was pulled "chosen" almost 900 ft away with laser with other traffic around me on a 3 lane interstate going as fast as me. I was only doing 86 in a 60. But I know he chose me because of the car That time funny thing was every other person in court that day he'd pulled over was a woman too

I've had the loudmouth set up and with the 12.2 vid in my sig you can hear how it sounds on the track with stock manifolds and cats. I've heard the loudmouth with LTs ORY and a cam on a manual car and it is REALLY loud, deafning loud

These vids are the way it sounds now with the borla XR-1 bullet in place of the loudmouth resonator, Longtubes, cam and ORY.

Car at idle

3500rpm launch

WOT inside car

You can't put a front plate on your front bumper or else you'll cover the car's smile

Thanks, I get numerous compliments about it and I have you guys, meaning LS1tech, to thank for it. Without this site the car wouldn't be where it's at today.

Havent had any complaints, more of just compliments. You can hear it from a good distance, but not to loud. Inside the cab, in the back seats its pretty loud, but not enough to annoy you in the front. I like how deep it sounds.
