my slp with lts

well ever since the long tubesm the slp loudmouth sounds liks s***, well after a little while i thought it sounded cool since its so loud, but when im just cruising, it sounds like crap it just sounds raw and choppy not like smooth, does anyone have any links for a replacement muffler that probably sounds smoother or nicer? the loudness doesnt bother me though.

I've heard a car with loudmouth and headers with ory and it was loud but sounded horrible. I would actually be embarressed to drive a car with an ory and the loudmouth.

i have pacesetter lt's with ory, and a high flow carsound cat, i think it would be worst without the cat. oh and i have heard something like people using the muffler form the gmmg? what is that muffler called and where can i buy it? does anyone know if i would lose any hp from this too cause isnt the lm the least restrictive muffler?

You could maybe put a bullet muffler in the i-pipe to tone it down some.

Or you could try a Sweet Thunder chambered muffler too.

Sweet Thunder is a brand. It's not Flowmaster.

Re: my slp with lts

Yes, the sweet thunder's are similar to the ones use on a GMMG catback. You can also get the same type from Summit and stainless works. Although I cannot say it will sound exactly the same since its only going to have a single muffler compared to GMMG's two, and its taking different paths. I would say you'd get a similar tone to GMMG only a bit louder.

I have heard many loudmouths, some with LT's and no cat, some stock, some with a gutted cat. I am not at all impressed with them and I agree that I would be embarrassed to drive a car around with it on. Unless its mostly a track car. They make a nice F-body sound more like an ole beat up Ford Truck with bad timing and no exhuast.

I think it will sound better, but its going to get pretty loud going to a cam with a stroker. You might want to switch the whole catback or at the very least talk to some people who swapped mufflers in there who have cam's. All I know is mines pretty loud at WOT stock and the idle is pretty beefy too. I am hoping it will sound respectible when I go to a cam, or I'll have to get a different catback too.

Re: my slp with lts

if yours was too loud, thenw hat would you get over a gmmg? and what is the gmmg hp rated(like the max hp it can support)? would the loudmouth with sweet thunder be rated at a lower hp limit? and what do you think of a borla vs. b&b vs. gmmg exhausts?
