RE: Loudest cat back system?
Prepare yourselves for the Opinion of the Pounder
That is a VERY good idea, that way you'll have an idea of what you are looking at and won't feel like you made a mistake (common occurence with exhaust) later on.
Let me preface this with one quick thought: I LIKE the way you're thinking here - the louder the better! If it's not scaring women, children and old folks, bothering the neighbors and gettin the attention of the 5-0, I say there's room for improvement[sm=icon_rock.gif]
If you get church folk praying for you on Sunday morning because your car's too loud, you've made it.
If your wife/gf comes out and says, "That has GOT to GO!!" you've made it! [sm=smiley20.gif]
Loudest = muffler delete. I've heard one 2V done this way, and I can't say that I didn't like it. ****** was LOUD & RASPY, and I like em loud & raspy!
2nd loudest = SLP LM1 or LM2. Also = raspy and a little 'tinny' at upper RPMs almost like a throatier fart can. I like it, though because it's LOUD! [sm=badbadbad.gif]
Either one of these can have their raspiness offset a smidge with 4" tips (adds just the slightest touch of throat) or in the case of the delete, flaring and welding in a piece of 3.5" or 4" pipe, or going with 3" or 3.5" from the mid to the 4" tips. But this will also make it LOUDER, which is GOOD! [sm=smiley20.gif]
Loud = straight through weld ins (SLPs, glasspacks/cherry bomb straights- don't knock em till you've heard em - Stingers)
Loud = Magnaflow magnapacks
Loud = Borla Stinger catback
Throaty = MAC
Rumbly low but ***** out at WOT = Flowmaster
Rumbly and a little quieter = weld-in Flows
Quiet and fairy-like = stock. Might as well cut your ***** off...

i think a mac catback would be best for you.. they're pretty loud and they sound good because they're chambered mufflers

SLP LoudMouth 1's will be perfect for you and with the stock midpipe they will sounds great.

RE: Loudest cat back system?
Thanks, Pounder! That was a fun read. I want loud...I want to pass V6's and make their owners cry. Today I decided to unbolt the pipes from the H pipe and drive around with the cats dumped. I have to admit I kinda liked it.[sm=lildevil.gif]A bit truck-like, but not bad. Should sound better going all the way to the tips. I think I'm going to try some straight thru weld ins tomorrow to see how I like that, andthen upgrade to a full cat back system later. I'll let you all know how it goes.

RE: Loudest cat back system?
Can anyone help me pick a goodexhaust setup? I don't want magnapaks or SLP LM1/2's because they are too loud but I want something with a nice non-raspy keep tone that won't drone at crusing speeds. If it's a whole catback then I want something that will work well with my stock H pipe as well as a catted X later on.
I heard a chambered setup is the way to go for me, I am pretty sure that magnaflow makes chambered catbacks (the last time I checked on americanmuscle.com) and I think the SLP power-flo's are chambered too. Are they any good? Or how about Steeda's catback or pypes?
Thanks so much,
Brandon

just watched your exhuast vids. i like the sound of the ones with the LM1's.. it doesnt sound like snap crackle and pop like most of the other ones! is that because of the catted x pipe?
