any ideas on which exaust i should get???
im trying to decide between either the borla adjustable cat back and the SLP loudmouth exsaust systems wich would be a better choice in proformance and sound for my 2001 Z28

Get the borla, loud mouth is good but it is always loud, so if you plan on getting headers or an offroad y you will need to lessen the roar of your LS1. Plus borla is stainless and has some nice intercooled tips.

I'll admit the Loudmouth might not be the best choice if you are looking towards headers some day. I am very pleased with the sound. But some people don't like the volume. Plus I am "a$$hole" loud as my friends put it.

so the loudmouth would be a better choice for performance but is almost too loud?

From what I hear, The SLP Loudmouth exhaust is the same as a Borla running with the wide open plate. I chose Borla because I like the adjustability option as well as the sound.

bang for the buck Loudmouth all the way, cant beat the sound either...Great flowing system also
|
Performance wise, both will be the same. It just depends on whether you want your exhaust loud all the time, in that case get the Loudmouth. Or if you want to quiet it down sometimes, in that case get Borla.

Loudmouth all the way, can't beat the performance and sound for half the price. If you want to mellow it out a little you can just get the Hooker large bore exhaust tips $30 at Jegs.com with resonators, and it will queit down ,and you can bolt them on and off very easily if you want to be a$$hole loud on a Friday night http://web.camaross.com/bb/wink.gif

Just ordered my LM last night. I figure the louder the better, some one has to drown out those fart cans!!! http://web.camaross.com/bb/wink.gif

another vote for Borla. I have Borla y-pipe and Borla cat back and Love it.

Having heard and owned several exhausts, I am very happy with my Corsa!

If i may make a suggestion, I used the american thunder flowmasters(( not to be confused with the 80s series))it was under $300.00 dollars from summitt and the sound is awesome. Now you still need to purchase a Y-pipe But the response I got since I put them on was nothing but pos O tive... YOU really hear it when you give it some pedal. and it is not very loud when your at an idle. It just sounds like the old 69..
