All these catback exhausts will give you similar gains. SLP loudmouth is definetly the loudest but sounds like crap. I would recommend going with a flowmaster catback and the put the rest of your money into something else.

What you want is exactly what GMMG chambered exhaust gives you. This is from thier web site
"We offer a true chambered system for 1982 - 2002 V8 Camaro & Firebird, similar to the legendary 1969 chambered systems. 3" I.D. Stainless Intermediate into true dual transverse chambered sections with dual 2 3/4" I.D. polished angle cut tips, one on each side as an American muscle car should be!."

The deepest and cleanest sounding exhaust I have ever heard. The website is WWW.GMMGINC.NET

Hey travis have you ever gotten any sound clips of your exhaust. I'm just trying to compare the sound of shorties and gmmg to my lt's no cats and gmmg. When I put the lt's on it turned the exhaust to a very high pitch in the upper rpm's. Nowhere near what it use to sound like with manifolds, a gutted cat, and the gmmg.

No sound clips at the moment. I will probably have some up this weekend. I just have no where to put it. If you have somewhere that I can host it, PM me.

I beg to differ
LM does not sound like crap, it sounds just like an American V8 should sound, "loud and thunderous"
I personally have had nothing but compliments on the sound of my car

I think also if anyone pays more than $350 for a catback, they're suckers and i would like to let them know i can get ya a great deal on the Brooklyn bridge

My vote is for the loudmouth. I've heard cars with it and they sound awesome! But from what I hear, you don't wanna use LM if you have headers.

E-borla

The Borla Cat-back exhaust system has a cut-out built in when you buy it, so your getting botha cut-out and cat-bak in one.. Heres the link to the electric cut-out, you can see a picture of the cat-back with it installed..
