Default Torn between LM2 and Corsa Xtreme / PRICES

Hi everyone, this is my first post besides my introductory thread.

I just bought my first corvette (ls2 c6) and it came with a halloway double D exhaust, and it is definitely to quiet for me. I am torn between the SLP loudmouth 2 or the Corsa Xtreme. The cheapest I have found the LM2 for was $688 shipped from corvette mods, and the cheapest I have found the corsa xtreme was westcoast corvettes for $1272 shipped. Corsa is a little steep for me but I definitely don't want to "cheap out" on my first purchase for this car.

I can handle a little drone but not a "unbearable" amount as others have said in other posts (mostly talking about the lm1).

Drone aside, witch of these 2 are louder? Hard to tell through exhaust videos.

Just want your opinions on them both/Is the Corsa worth almost double the price?

and if you know where to get either one cheaper please share!

THANKS in advance
-YZ

(Just noticed I posted this in performance, MODS please move to General Discussion, SORRY!)

check the classifieds for deals as the loud exhausts are removed and sold frequently. got my lm2 practically new for $400. both exhausts have their distinctive sounds but imo the lm2 has the more distinct v8 sound. if you install long tubes they will be louder. I love the sound at idle, part throttle and wot. but beware..there will be drone at cruise.

Your spot on from my research, the lM2 has the distinct v8 and the corsa xtreme has the "exotic" tone

I do not have plans for any headers or any other part the exhaust. The axle back will most likely be all I do.

I tried the corsa and did not like it and then I installed lm2 with longtube headers and fell in love with the sound. just like how a muscle/sport car should sound. some stay its loud but I think its perfect.

I have the full slp exhaust system from headers back and I get a lot of compliments on the sound.
that said...I will be swapping to the fusions shortly cause the wifey doesn't like the drone.

I think I'm leaning towards the slp loudmouth 2. I am going to hope there is some 4th of July sales and order it Friday! (payday)
