Should I switch from Magnaflow to loudmouth?

I'm not sure if I think my magnaflow system is loud enough, so I was thinking of maybe switching to a loudmouth. What do you think?

If you want to be obnoxiously loud I suppose, and deaf by 40


Why go from a decent exhaust to a POS exhaust like a loudmouth? loud gets old real quick

Look at the rumbler kit. And you can NEVER get too loud. I have my exhaust cut and it sounds beautiful. If its too loud, just shift into a higher gear. Mine is cun underneath my car and on the highway in 6th the noise in the car isnt bad AT ALL.



Texas speed sells a kit similar to the LM for a little cheaper, check it out, but personally i would stick with the Magna's.

If you want the best power and loud, you can go true duals. You need Long tubes to do it, but you could prolly get it fabricated for less than a LM kit would cost.

Id do no cats, x-pipe, and dynomax bullets dumped just before the axle. It would be cheap and it sounds beautiful.

keep the MF...i think the sound is awesome.

too much noise is nice sometimes...but it can get annoying. long drives with my cutout open use to give me a headache from the low pitch drone inside the car.

maybe try an offroad Ypipe. i know my MF got significantly louder with the cats removed.

I wouldn't say the loudmouth is a POS at all, theres no restriction on it at all, its just loud.

Loudmouth rules. I get compliments all the time.. Today i just got a compliment from a guy with a 2002 supercharged vette. Exact words were "that sounds nice, deep and throaty" "Mine doesnt sound like that" i then offered to trade cars. :P no go on that one

The magnaflow sounds perfect. If you want louder go headers and no cat. You still keep a great system that won't rust.

If i did go headers, I would go with some mac midlengths, 94-95 style, and run that offroad pipe. How much louder would it get? I am 16 and love loud. For example, my snowmobile is piped, our boat has through transom exhaust, four-wheeler has a pipe, and now I want a loud car . I put the magnaflow on and didn't think it was too bad, but not it seems that its not too loud. Where can I check out a rumbler system out at? IS it stainless? Also about if I do change exhausts, it wouldn't be until next summer. Figured I should at least get a year out of this one lol. What do you think of the dynomouth?

For $399 you could get MAC mid length headers instead of a loudmouth. Upgrading things you've already upgraded = minimal gain for maximum investment $
