LM2's

and 3.90's are for the people that are so indecisive they just split the difference. You wouldn't tell the difference between a 3.90 car and a 4.10 or a 3.90 car and a 3.73 car unless you where consistent at the track.

LM1's are louder, LM2's are a little bit quiter. LM2's have some packing in them that makes them quiter than LM1's.

If your going with an O/R midpipe then go with LM2's. LM1's and O/R just sounds crappy IMO.

My vote goes for O/R X and Magnapacks though. Sxynerd is completely right about the gears.

I'm running an O/R X and a MAC catback, there is a link to my exhaust clip under my sig picture. I love the sound of an O/R X and chambered mufflers, but everyone has their own taste. A buddy of mine has an O/R X and Magnapacks and it sounds great too, it took me 6 months and hours of youtube to decide on my exhaust.

LM2 is pretty much equal to Magnapacks. IMO Loudmouth 1's don't sound that great.

X or H is personal preference.

I had the packs, orx and LTs for a while, kind of sounds like a wet fart to me. I personally prefer the sound of a chambered muffler, with not as much drone as flows. I ended up getting Bassani. I went through 3 catbacks to find the right one.

Magnapacks, then Borla, super super super quiet, sounded like I had cats, then finally Bassani and thats what Ill put on the next stang more than likely

i prefer the sound of an x pipe on our cars. catback is really up to you. i like the sound of bassani exhaust and then there are the classic flowmasters. i have to say go flowmasters because it is one of the cheapest and best sounding catbacks for our cars. so my vote is on flowmasters and an o/r x pipe. you wont be sorry. sounds amazing.
