I'm ready to move on from my SLP Loudmouths. They sound good for what they are, but they're definitely lacking in the muscle sounding department. They're really just loud.

I've already got some Detroit Rocker cams on the way, now I need some LT's, mid pipe, and some new axle backs.

I'd like the new setup to be deep and as loud or even just a tad bit louder that my current setup. I know I don't want the LM with LT's though. I do have neighbors and don't need extra attention from the cops.

I'm thinking all the LT probably sound the same. The difference is in the mid and axle backs. Things that come to mind are prochambers, mid mufflers, etc. Let me know what would do what.

Here's a vid from the Petit Le Mans earlier this year. The two Corvettes and the Ford GT are my inspiration.

Man your exhaust note is gonna change bigtime. Do not buy anything until your cams and LTs are installed. Then you can determine what you need to do to clean up your tone. After cam and LT install my car sounded like a John Force dragster. It was stupid loud with just a touch of the throttle.
Flowmaster American thunder mufflers got rid of the drone and m80s acting like resonators got rid of the trumpeting. Searching for the perfect exhaust tone is a freaking adventure.

I like the prochamber mid pipe with a chambered muffler. It has a nice airy sound to it

Thanks for the replies. I'm well aware that LT's are going to make a huge difference. Thing is I have to buy a mid pipe when I but the LT's so I need to figure out that combo first. Then I'll be running my stock mufflers until I can figure out which axle backs to get.

keep your LM's
with the LT's, and o/r x or h pipe, go with a custom midmounted muffler before the rear end, and the LM's for the axle back.
like M80's, dynomax bullets, hushpower, borla, magnapacks.
that will give you that low rumble, and resonance of the mid mounted muffler, it makes a world of difference.

When you say custom mid muffler, do you mean having a shop weld the mufflers in the stock rear pipe?

onederful100

yes, a shop can weld them in easy. as long as it fits in the space before the rear end.
a small straight thru muffler will fit, but most chambered mufflers will not.
i have M80's welded in, with LT's, o/r x pipe, and MBRP deletes.
with the midmounted mufflers, it retains that low rumble even at high rpm's.
with the muffler on the end of the exhaust you always hear that screaming high pitch with high rpms, some mufflers more than others.
with a mid mounted muffler you'll have a little different sounding s197, deeper sounding.
but there are axle backs that sound good too.
just throwing out a little suggestion for ya.

That's not a bad idea. Seems like $100 for a pair of mufflers. I could cut the stock pipes and clamp the mufflers in for testing. Have them welded in later if it works out, have the stock pipes welded back in if it doesn't and sell the mufflers. Thanks to you and 808. Seems both of you guys have M80's.

If you are going o/r, then I would do resonators and MACs. If your are going catted then just MACs would probably work. MACs are deeper sounding than stingers, bassani or magnapacks. According to brenspeed, chambered mufflers sound better with cams. I do agree.
