Default SLP loud mouth Exhaust yes or no ??

i just bought a 98 formula that is bone stock. Im looking into exhaust but i know f bodys can be a little but of a pain to get a good sound. i do like the Slp loud mouth 1 sound and i just bought some obx headers from a friend .. also a friend just gave me a 3" magnaflow setup.. which one would sound better ?

Ya no problem if you google ls1 sounds there is a site that has exhaust clips so you can hear them. What are the plans for the car?

Here is the site.... http://ls1sounds.com/

Also how much are you wanting to spend? I see you said you have headers but do you have a aftermarket y pipe?

Ya stalls and a cam will make it run good. Ya some chrome zr1's would look great. Yeah just on exhaust flowmaster and slp dont sound the greatest. So what is the magnaflow set up your friend gave you?

I would use the mags. I would also get or use a off road y pipe if you dont have to have emissioms checked.

All a matter of personal taste. I had the LM 1 on my car and loved it, only got rid of it because I got my STS kit.

Almost any y pipe setup will have drone and rasp. They also sound funny at certain rpms. There are many threads started about changing lm1 because of how loud it is and the drone. Tone over volume. Here is true duals they have zero rasp better numbers and you cant duplicate the sound of the true dual muscle cars.

Loudmouth, Borla, Corsa, Magnaflow, True Duals. Cant go wrong with any of these, it just comes down to what you prefer. And at the end of the day the neighbors will still know when you leave/get home.
