long tube or short tube? and catted x pipe or non catted x pipe
i have a 97 gt with stock exhuast manifolds and stock h pipe but i have slp lm 1 catback and rear cats deleted and it is loud as hell but i want it to be even louder but keep its deep throaty sound and increase the volume to the point where i can be heard from more than a mile away and i dont know which will give more power and better sound longtube headers or shortube headers also i dont know whether to get catted x pipe or non catted x pipe and put mil eliminators on it please give me your guys opinon also id like to know what brands and where to find them?

Long tubes definitely. As for cats or not, I got an o/r h and it was a bit too much for me. But that will be yourpersonnel preference. You will need to get a hook up on passing smog tests when you get a safety inspection .

Personally I like H pipes.. more of a deeper tone, sounds more like a muscle car, and not raspy like the X pipes.
Lethal Performance has more variety of Mid pipes, but you can choose from American Muscle as well. X Pipe, and H pipes
Heres some headers from American Muscle and Lethal Performance Personally I like Kooks or Mac.
Exhausts from American Muscle I personally like Magnaflows and Borlas, just like how they sound. Not as loud as you would like though. Heres some Borlas from Lethal performance
But personally, I dont like too loud, so I normally would go for Borlas or Magnaflows, with long tubes, and an H pipe for more of a muscle car sound.
BUT thats me.

like uber said don't waste your time or $ on shorties, and you'll want a catted x, o/r x will sound terrible raspy with the LM1s, people will still hear you from a country mile away with the catted x. It's impossible to have a deep throaty sound with LM1s paired up with an aftermarket midpipe no matter if it's an x or an h, but catted will be a tad less raspy that o/r.

if you're thinking of ditching the LM1s and you want a deep muscle car tone then go with a chambered muff. Losing the raspiness of the LM1s also allows you to go catless. Any muffler will have a higher sound level with LTs and a midpipe. One I would recommend for alot of sound with a deep tone is the flowmaster super 44s, a little more aggressive than the typical 40s. There's many that sound good though As far as what brand everyone has their own preference. Youtube exhaust clips will help you out a lot.
