You're saying it's louder than a cutout?
I would have thought that open exhaust would have been the loudest.

Question raspy?

My question is does your loudmouth sound raspy with the headers. Some say the loudmouth sounds real bad when headers are added in, others say it doesn't, how's yours sound?

Do you have a sound clip for your car? I also have loudmouth but want to hear an LS1 with loudmouth and LT headers before I decided to purchase.

LM with headers and no cat sounds insane... it will actually drive you insane within 1 week of driving around. i had to sell mine and get somethin with a muffler for fear of getting tickets. it didnt sound good at all .. just really loud and ugly.

I am with you brad it was horrible with out cats on your car. It still sounded better than those plugs you tried to get rid of the resonating.

I don't have a sound clip but it is not raspy, it gets louder above 2000 and then around 3500 it's insane. It does pop when you rev it though. And fitment of the back pipes were horrible!! no matter how hard I tried it still ended up slightly crooked.

Ive got the stock manifolds with an open y and no cat so mine is atleast as loud as a loudmouth with an offroad pipe to say the least adn I dont even get looks from the cops in my area, im thinkin about running open longtubes once I get those in... guess it depends on where you live.
