Default Boomtubes and Johnny Law

Done my homework... Watched Youtubes... Boils down to Loudmouths or Boomtubes... Most Boomtube owners seam pretty happy... and they're a little cheaper... so... Sounds like where I'm headed...

Any Police issues? Is this putting a bullseye on your back for tickets? I don't really speed, but I sure like getting to the speed limit quickly!!!

you shouldn't get into trouble w/ just axle backs. of course you dont want to be doing a John Force burnout in front of the police station either. they're not too loud w/ just regular driving.

I've driven past cops but was very light on the gas and had no trouble. If you get on it hard they'll get on you.

i personally think any aftermarket AB will catch the cops attention. but if your light on the gas, you should be fine, with just boomtubes.

No problems as of today with my LoudMouths. You should be fine with Boomtubes.

If I was a policeman, I would pull you over and write you a ticket for having a Loudmouth exhaust because they sound horrible.

Boomtubes are nice...

Loudmouths = Raw
BoomTubes = Refined, controlled

I'm sorry, but I'd rather have a raw, unadulterated sound from my Mustang

The Loudmouths build quality is great; they look beautiful!

If you want Raw, just get the muffler deletes, thats unadulterated.

LMs are just expensive muffler deletes. Thats all they are. Expensive *** tips. You wont have issues. No axleback is loud enough to make a cop pull you over. They are more worried about ricers and their loud exhausts. Im adding an o/r prochamber to my macs thursday and Im not worried at all. If you are worried keep it under 2500.

Your right, but that's what I wanted. I wanted straight pipes and something that looks really good. Plus, I've liked SLP products in the past.

BoomTubes aren't straight through pipes because they have a louvered core inside. So to the OP, if you want the refined and controlled sound, BT's are your option. If you want the raw, unadulterated sound, you have two options. Go to a muffler shop and have them weld some straight pipe on for a lot cheaper than the other two, or buy Loudmouths.
