My Dilemma
 
So right now i need to get a tune for my car. ( pinging) I want headers and i was planning on getting them in a year or two down the road. I was looking around and saw that Don has a TSP package deal headers & tune.. So it doesn't make much sense for me to just get a tune now when i will just have to re-tune it down the road. Right now i have the slp LM! cat-back. Getting headers and ory with this will just be too loud. I wouldn't mind it because i don't really Daily drive it but i live in a small town ( bored cops ) and i don't feel like pissing off the neighbors around my Girlfriends house ( ones a State trooper and a woman at that.) :hp: Anyways Im looking into either changing out the whole cat-back or adding mufflers. Here are some options all with LT's and ory

1. Get a magnaflow cat-back and a cut-out. This will probably be the most expensive. Seems like a lot of people have this set-up but i like to be different.
2. Try to be different and keep the LM1 and just swap the LM1 Resonator with a power flow resonator or just add two power flow mufflers.

3. Do the full powerflow swap.

4.??? Any ideas?? Would LT's ORY magnaflow be louder than my stock manifolds with slp y and LM1 cat-back?

Trying to figure out your exhaust set-up sucks! Youtube videos don't do justice and i would like to hear some cars person. If i cant decide i might just get a tune and get the headers later on. Thanks for the help!

If you want the cheapest option for now it would be to get the headers and tune and put a bullet in your Loudmouth. It will still be on the loud side, but if you find it to be too loud than save up a few more bucks and get the Magnaflow, and you could sell your Loudmouth and get some money back.

Best way to go is what i had i think...........Borla adjustable and get the electric cutout in the place of the plate system. Its very quiet when you want it to be and well you get the rest

That's why i want a cut-out, i'm just not sure if i'm going to like the flows for an exhaust... i would need to hear it in person before i made that decision lol If anyone wants to show me there exhaust let me know, i don't mind driving too far.

your setup sounds awesome, both open and closed

The headers and LM is not different. Most of the cars have them. The Orange car that is here runs that setup. If I thought of it I should of started it for ya.

94's car has them both but his is a high compression/big cam car so it would sound totally different. And yes, it's stupid loud with the cutout.

Yeah i would need to hear it on a stock motor car your right. I know a lot of people have headers and the LM but how many have the headers and Either the powerflow resonator or the two mufflers? Just trying to come up with ideas.

Edit there's no such thing as a power flow resonator, they use the LM2 resonator with the two powerflow mufflers.

im also selling the Hooker Aero Chamber off of my car on the cheap! used cat backs are always a nice way to not spend too much money and change the setup.
