Question Quieting my Loudmouth!

I really like the sound of my loudmouth exhaust, but its almost painfully loud at times and I know I wake the neighborhood when I get home at 2 AM. I need to quiet it down..

I've been reading up on LM and the various ways of quieting it down with bullet mufflers. I've heard a lot about Dynomouth, but very little about Borlamouth.

Which of the two will quiet it down more? How much will it change the way it sounds?

Suggestions greatly appreciated!

I put an 18" generic glasspack bullet muffler in the left tailpipe in the same location as the stock muffler. In effect it was a poor mans Borla. It worked great. It sounded wonderful, was still loud but nowhere near like it was, and it eliminated all the resonance. Best $40 I ever spent.

Yup! LoudMouth. I loved mine when I first got it a year ago. Then after about a month I wanted that LoudMouth to shut the ... up! So I had this terrible custom job done to it. So terrible that I'm going to remove it...

Basically, I took it to a guy who removed the pipes and welded in a stock muffler. After about a month of being silent... I missed all that annoying sound. To fix the problem of my indecisiveness, I got two QTECs and put them on my Y-Pipe... the one from SLP that came with their long-tube headers. So now I have the option of being stealthy quiet, and disgustingly loud! I love it!! (You shoulda seen the look on this one Cobra owner's face! )

So, I think you should get a muffler to silence your car somewhat, and maybe a single cutout, or maybe dual. Once you're quiet, you'll end up missing all that noise!

Maybe I can save you some headaches. Send me a pm and maybe I can let you hear my car. Im someplace in your neighborhood. I have it so I can take out the resonator and add a chambered muffler in its place anytime my mood changes. Different sound loud when needed not so loud while driving. Not that I consider the LM loud. Its all relative, and personally I dont care who I wake up at 2AM. And I live in an old folks area. Im no youngster but I do like my F-body.

Do you have headers on the car also? Cause just the LM I think it's fine...not to loud, but im just worried about with headers what it will sound like. If you do have them i'd like to hear.

You will get your payback someday. Inconsiderate people always do.
