Deep Throaty Exhaust?????
Alright guys i have a little problem...for those of u in the chicago area u might have heard what my exhaust sounds like if u went to the 75th and lemont hooters cruise
anyways...the exhaust i have now i like...all i did was replace the muffler with a Y pipe. it sounds pretty nice, but when i rev it, it pops ALOT..i want something deep and throaty
i was thinking of a Loudmouth, but heard that it is too raspy, and pops alot..i was also thinking of borla, but not sure if i want to spend that much....the other thing was that i was thiking of SpeedInc in Schaumburg haveing the fabricate me a true Dual Exhaust system with and X pipe
Just curious if u guys could help me out...and also if u have any sounds clips of them too that would be awesome...THANKS ALOT

I have yet to hear a LT1 exhaust set up that doesn't pop...some of them are just more defined and high-pitched.
Ones I can't stand:
Loudmouth
Borla
American Thunder
Dynomouth (essentially a cheap do-it-yurself Loudmouth, but uses a Dynomax Bullet)
Exhaust is tough on these cars. I have yet to hear one rival a Mustang, just can't beat that sound.
Mine is too loud for me, but I've got a 40 series single in/out 3" Flowmaster right off my BBK headers Y-pipe. It's deep, throaty, mean sounding and the pops are very DEEP sounding, so it's not nasty sounding like a lot of exhaust systems.

I know this is going to sound wierd and counter productive, but from clearly a sound (not performance) standpoint, I still have the stock exhaust on mine. I have LT's and no cat and I've gotten a lot of compliments on the sound (yes, I know, there is a huge bottle neck with the stock exhaust and I know I'm giving up about 20 hp) and I've yet to hear a "pop" out of it.

I have LM on mine and it never pops unless the engine isnt warmed up. However, I'm getting headers soon so I'll be ditching the LM for something a little more tame to compliment the headers.

Same here. When i put on the AS&M headers and stock cat, my stock exhaust sounds good. Have gotten a few compliments. Heard a Mustang exhaust the other day, what gives it that sound? I can't really describe it exactly, kinda deep but raspy i guess.
