Re: LOUD exhaust (TomsZ06)
i have long tube headers w/balance tube, no cats and no mufflers. All stock tubing from the headers back. Yes its loud & Yes i like it loud! I was thinking of possibly adding some cheap glasspacks to it, just to add a little mildness, but it still be really highflow with little restriction! But i dunno if i will ever do it? i really dont think its too bad going down the highway, but i guess it just depends on your taste?
IMHO--->its like a freemod! :thumbs: For a poorboy like myself, i think its perfect. Loud, highflow, weight savings and its nearly free :cool:
Oh yea->SLP loudmouths are simply a $500+ version of the "catback" i have! Why pay more :confused:

Hi TomsZ06,
What kind of exhaust tips do you have on your exhaust. I looke don JCWHITNEY, but unable to locate any tips I liked? Like you, I will not have mufflers.
Thanks again,
Monarchz06.

Re: LOUD exhaust (fdupny)
The loudest system would be LT headers w/o cats and a set of straight pipes. The car will sound like a TransAm race car :cool: Very cool but not really driveable on a daily/extended basis. As for catbacks the Loudmouths are the loudest, but look like crap. Next are the stingers, w/ the BB PRT's a close third. I chose the Stingers for looks and great sound (see sig pic). I loved the sound of the Loudmouths but they looked so bad. Last weekend I had my Z w/ stingers next to my friend Todd's coupe w/ PRTs. The stingers are deeper and only slightly louder IMO, both are great systems, but I prefer the round tips on the stingers. BB just came out w/ a new system as fdupny has said, but I've never heard those. Good luck :cheers:

Re: LOUD exhaust (Ox)
If you want loud just have your local muffler shop fabricate a system for you. They can rmove your mufflers and do straight pipes. i did this w/ my hardtop and used Daytona style tips. It was LOUD and only cost $100 bucks. Kaley

My straight pipes were the loudest system I have ever heard with any aftermarket exhaust; but I've never heard any H/C, LTs and straight piped cars, which would clearly be louder.

Re: LOUD exhaust (MHFontaine)
OK, I now vy for the most unpopular winner. Why would anyone really give a s--t about the loudest exhaust contest?? Obviously a lot of fellow forum members.
To me, it's the proof in the pudding that counts the most. Anyone can make a stock Mustang GT sound loud...but the proof is not in the pudding. They're a loud putz-mobile. Anyone can do the same with a stock Vette.
It's performance that counts. Hell with the rest of the fluff.
Just an arrogant opinion, thank you. :D

Well...Ox asked about loud exhausts not performance mods. Just thought I'd help him out with a little "rollin' thunder."

Re: LOUD exhaust (Roadfrog)
Driving theses cars is all about stimulating your senses and producing a feeling of enjoyment and a muscle reaction called a smile. Personall I get this through sight, touch, and SOUND. The sound of these cars going through the gears at WOT and a perfectly matched downshift make me get tingly and it's the pure and simple reason I love cars... they make me feel good and bring me enjoyment. Some like gadgets, some like clothes, etc... I like cars. And lound and nasty just adds to the fun of it IMHO!!! :auto:

Re: LOUD exhaust (Cobra4B)
You are correct Mr. CobraB4. To each their own.
I bought my Z for exactly what it is. When I mod, it will be the total car that I build from the ground up, my way. Big block Cobra replica is next. Now, no one can say they aren't fun. 175mph, no way. Fun, LOUD, you bet!! :cheers:

Re: LOUD exhaust (Cobra4B)
Could not say it better man. IMO from what I heard at Funfest with a stingers, loudmouths and B&B bullet right next to them the B&B was louder at idle and the same at WOT. :iagree:
