Default Which is better?

SLP Loudmouths or Powerflo, as far as performance gains and sound? Want a deep, but loud sound and would most likely run their x-pipe and headers....

You won't gain any power with axlebacks. They are basically sound mods. The powerflos are very similar to the borla/FRPP stingers and magnapack mufflers. As far as headers I would stick with either American Racing headers, Kooks, Stainless Works, orDynatech. JBA is a lil cheaper but so are there materials. But I wouldn't call them "bad" headers as many people run them and are perfectly happy. For deep and loud I recommend Stingers and an O/R H-pipe with some resonators welded in after the H-pipe crossover to keep trumpeting and drone at bay.

I would recommend the SLP Loudmouths, but since you are getting an X pipe....I'd go with something else. I don't like the LM + x pipe. jmo...

What about the magna pack from magna flow and their x-pipe? Or the granatellie headers, x-pipe, and cat-back? (those compared to the LM's and x-pipe)

I Haven't heard those.

I just dont like the lm x pipe combo, becuase its very raspy and not very deep. but it IS crazy loud.

haha

xpipe= raspier with 1-3 HP more than h
hpipe = louder and deeper than x with slightly less HP

Both o/r pipes are considerably louder since you are removing the cats

Default RE: Which is better?

one looks like an X and one looks like an H[&:]

X: Flows better so typically you gain a little more HP. 2-3 I have heard. Raspy sound.

H: deeper sound, louder ??? not sure..


I am to slow [sm=smiley19.gif]
