Default Exhaust Questions

I have two questions regarding the exhaust.

1.) Will the combination of longtube headers and x pipe by Dynatech with SLP loudmouth axle back give me trouble with being too loud? (i will get pulled over)

2.) Are the axleback SLP loudmouths fairly easy to install on my own? Is there any welding required throughout the exhaust system at all?

1.) If the x pipe has no cats, then yes, it will be loud and you will probaby get pulled over. It it has cats, then I'm not sure.
2.) The SLP install is super-easy. No welding, no cutting, just clamps. Took me maybe an hour.

I wouldnt say you will get pulled over because of no cats....MANY of us run without them and can't say I know of anyone getting pulled over because of it. Yes I am sure it happens but not often.

Install will be easy. As for getting pulled over......I guess it depends on how the cops are out there. It WILL be loud though. Count on that.

loudmouth install is easy. if you are able to use a lift it's a dream come true. loud but sounds so d@mn good. just do what i do if you're worried about cops: shift as soon as you can pull a higher gear to keep your car quiet. just don't rev up at them when you meet one and you'll be fine

You will see some added HP. It depends on which setup you go with.

X-pipe with get yo the most HP (7-10 maybe) but adds a raspier sound.
H-pipe gets you slightly less but the tone is deeper.

Both are louder.
