RE: Dissapointed in exhuast
Well when i just the LM 1 catback on it sounded sick. And when I put the midpipe on it it was extremely loud but extremely rapsy. Then i put on the 2's and it sounds amazing from inside the car but like i said when i heard my mom drive it i was just a little dissapointed. And also it might just be because my mom is retarted when it comes to cars and she floored it in 5th gear going 60....

RE: Dissapointed in exhuast
Haha yea... Well all o/r pipes are equipped with rasp over 4500 rpms, especially with hollow mufflers like the LM1's or race bullets.
But with chambered mufflers, you won't get any rasp at all. Ive heard magnaflows (which are chambered) with an o/r X and it sounds VERY good. Not loud enough for me, but it sounded great =) No rasp whatsoever.
But like I said, you lose A LOT of the loudness with chambered mufflers. And after my disappointing magnaflow set back... I don't want anything to sound that quiet again. Seriously, not joking, at points in time.. If I sat for a while, I would have to rev my engine to make sure my car was still on, because it was so quiet I thought I turned it off. Bah.. LM1's with full exhaust for me =) Im going to have one hell of a **** eatin grin on my face in 3 weeks when it all gets installed.

I wouldnt consider the Magnaflows "chambered" they are actuallya straight thru tube surrounded by packing.Flowmasters or MACs are chambered and are actually quite loud with off road H.I also use to have offroad H and LM2s and hated the sound of it.

RE: Dissapointed in exhuast
With those magnaflows and the o/r X was it the cobra or GT? Im thinking the cobras are a little louder, esp. once you replace an aftermarket o/r midpipe. IF I did go with a chambered muffler which one would you reccomend? I have heard the Flowmaster 10's are amazing if you can find them. And which cats would you reccomend if I got some?

RE: Dissapointed in exhuast
The car I heard it on was a GT.. May be a tad louder on a Cobra.
As far as cats, Hi-Flo Cats or nothing. All aftermarket mid-pipes that are catted come with hi-flows anyway.
And for a chambered muffler, I HATE, dispise flowmasters, thats just my opinion, but I am by far not the only one who thinks they sound horrible. GT owners who have had flowmasters said they are god aweful, and the droning disallowed them to even have a conversation with the person next to them. So I personally would never put flowmasters on my car.
With that being said, If not Loudmouths, I would definitely go with a Borla Stinger catback. Ive never heard anything bad about them, and I know a few people who have them on cobras and love them. So thats what I would do, even on my GT, if I wasn't going with the LM's.

RE: Dissapointed in exhuast
Yea basically i just want the sound of my LM 1's when i just had the catback, but louder/deeper. The LM 1's are simply the best sounding catback, but once you add a o/r midpipe i am not a big fan of them. Have you heard the Flowmaster 10 series? I know all sorts of people who have the normal flows (40 series) and I am not impressed at all.
