O/R X pipe and muffler question

I currently have an Pype's O/R X pipe with the SLP loudmouth 1's on the car. I love the way the car sounds, but the cops arent quite as enthusiastic about it as I am. I have been pulled over twice for it, both times I saw the cop to and was trying to be quiet but couldnt be quiet enough I guess. I want to hear from people that have had this set up, and then went to another muffler. THe SLP system is a bolt together type so I can switch out the mufflers. Has anybody switched to flowmasters after having LM1's, and if so were you happy with them? If so did the flows give you any more back pressure and get rid of the raspy sound? Any input for someone who has had LM1's and switched would be helpful...thanks everybody.

Any muffler is going to be loud as hell with no cats.

Switch the II's or even powerflo's. Those are going to be deeper and not as loud. Flows if you want your mustang to be like most the mustangs that you hear.

I had lm1`s then 2`s on a catted xpipe and it was pretty loud. The 2`s did sound much better but I still wasnt happy. Then I got flows on it and it sounded much, much better. Gave the car a real nice tone. The only thing I didnt like was the high pitch at high rpm`s. But all xpipes are that way. This was also with the lm`s as well as the flows. So I decided to go with a catted H, and my problem was solved. Much better with the H.
