loudmouth for 3rd gen

[JerzyIroc]

did slp ever make a loudmouth for 3rd gen's? if not, has anyone taken the loudmouth muffler and put it in a 3rd gen? a friend of min has a loudmouth set up for his old 98 z. he said i can take it for 100 bucks. worth it?

[WildBillyT]

The "Loudmouth muffler" is really just a resonator, or bullet muffler. If you just want the sound, replace your muffler with a bullet.

[sweetbmxrider]

NAPA sells a muffler delete pipe for 98-02 f-bodys. string and i put one on his 89 rs. sounds pretty sweet. he had a flowmaster set up on it previously so the pipes matched up perfect (3 inch). i think its under $100 and its not obnoxious like the loudmouth, but u do hear it. i have the loudmouth on my 4th gen and i prefer his exhaust note. the idle isn't crazy, loud when you are on it though. i can get a vid if you are interested and a part #, show you the set up. lemme know.

[chrisfrom nj]

if he wants a 3 inch edelbrock cat back exhaust i would sell mine for 150

[TheBandit]

JerzyIroc you should hook me up with that LM setup if you dont use it :)

[JerzyIroc]

ya let me see a vid and get the pn. i like trying new things out. if i don't get them i think he's gonna give it to his brother but i'll definitely see what i can do

[TheBandit]

cool deal.. and if you want that delete pipe that bmxrider was talking about i could probably hook you up ;) my family owns a napa :p

ya i have to get the napa ones. his brother just bought them off him. i do have 2 concerns about the napa ones. one would the cops bust my balls because technically it'll be unmuffled? and two would i still be able to run at the track on days/nights that you have to have a muffled vehicle?

[sweetbmxrider]

1. i dont know how the cops are in jersey city. string hasn't gotten pulled over yet. its not nearly as loud as an slp loudmouth, but its louder than the flowmaster. so i guess it depends on the cops and the reverb from surrounding buildings. 2. if its a strict track, they most likely won't let you run.
an option could be welding a muffler case around the delete pipe to appear as if you had a muffler. you could also get a bullet muffler and install it in the i-pipe to technically be muffled. thats how the loudmouth is if you didn't already know. i'll try and remember to get the part number tomorrow. i'll have to see on the video though cause string is off tomorrow (he works across the street) so more likely the weekend.

[JerzyIroc]

Well for the most part the cops only bust the import peoples balls with the exhaust and even then its pretty rare to get pulled over for just the exhaust. they have more important things to do. if they get pulled over for something else then they'd give an exhaust ticket. i guess at night it would be more of an issue, but again usually only for the imports. i do however work in montclair. and monclair cops are pretty much complete ******* pieces of ****. my car got IMPOUNDED because my left rear tire was too worn out....... so im a little worry about driving there not really for the loudness, but if they see that there is no muffler. i'll be going mainly to etown and island. i know etown is strict, but ive seen people run rediculously loud cars at night when there is a noise regulation. just dont know if they have an exhaust or not... hmm...... what to do...what to do.......:scratch:

so with the loudmouth, there is no muffler? just a bullet style muffler on the i pipe?

[sweetbmxrider]

this is the kit with the delete pipe (http://www.napaonline.com/NOLPPSE/(S(l33ymayu1vjw3255ldomwt45))/Detail.aspx?R=EXH19418_0184650419) i just can't find it separate so i'll find out tomorrow.

so with the loudmouth, there is no muffler? just a bullet style muffler on the i pipe?

yes after the cat conv a bit but before the over the axle pipe. its really a resonator but somehow is called a muffler. absolutely no muffling. napa has a bullet muffler as well or you can buy a loudmouth 1 or 2 muffler and a couple adapter pipes to fit it in.

[Slo86Bird]

i have it on my 86 bird...if ur not gunna buy the one from ur buddy let me know cuz i wanna put slp loudmouth on my dodge ram..

[chevylover5]

GO FOR IT! I have a loudmouth on my 305tpi and i love it. My 92 Z28 never sounded so sexy. Its a great price too! Mine bolted right up in place you just need an adapter to go from 3in to your size cat.

Hey i got first dibs :lol:.. and jerzyiroc if you want to wait until saturday, or sweetbmxrider if you have the part number i can order that pip delete saturday for saturday afternoon just have to let me know

[UserName]

yea...

[JerzyIroc]

i clicked on it but it said the catalog expired. i did a search for a 2000 camaro and i didnt see it. what did you search under?

[sweetbmxrider]

part number 53365 (http://www.napaonline.com/NOLPPSE/(S(gp4mtj32v30nys55qbafhm45))/Detail.aspx?R=EXH53365_0006554281) if it expires or whatever. you need to be on the parts pro se page. it will probably take a week to get it though, comes from texas i think so don't bank on a weekend thing. if you still want a video clip, i'll see if i can get time tomorrow, kinda busy at work though.

[TheBandit]

erhm when i go in saturday i can call the warehouse to see if they have that part number.. if they do i can have it by 2:00pm saturday afternoon

..wonder how that would sound on my lt1 with a hotcam and stock manifolds

[sweetbmxrider]

yeah they won't have it. they are custom made. my dad owns a napa autocare center and we almost exclusively do napa parts. took about a week to get. i think it would sound awesome though, close to a loudmouth but not as crazy i think. no resonator to juice it up. the kit it comes in has the same bullet style muffler though. its a perfect fit with a flowmaster set up and a nice step up.

[3rdGenLT1]

it looks like it makes it a dual exit only on one side or am i just looking at it wrong?

[TheBandit]

think your looking at it wrong, unless im looking at it wrong.. sweetbmx wheres your auto care at? my dad and my uncle actually own a napa store

[3rdGenLT1]

yea i see how it goes now

[sweetbmxrider]

point pleasant. we use vanwickle's napa. his brother owns one in spring lake.

[sweetbmxrider]

here it is (http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg190/sweetbmxrider/?action=view&current=gregsexhaust.flv)

it was windy today so ya. sounds great. highly recommended.

[TheBandit]

ahh cool im in west long branch.. and that only a 305 tbi.. too loud on an LT1 with the LT4 hotcam?

[String]

the delete kit still allows for the dual exit on both sides.

[JerzyIroc]

sweet. it sounds really nice. for 42 bucks cant beat it lol. im definatly gonna get it as soon as i can. how does it sound under full throttle? big thanks too man for the info/help

[sweetbmxrider]

yeah 42 bucks is very nice. i haven't heard it under full throttle, string's car. the video doesn't really seem to give you the low tones that it throws out too. it was fun doing the video though so no problem there.

as for an lt1....the napa catolog states under the ls1 application that it recommends the kit for race use only do to high noise levels. i think it would sound amazing but it might be significantly louder at idle, which could end up being annoying. i think cammed would sound soooo dirty. as long as you have a 3 inch inlet and 3 inch outs, i'm sure with the shop discount you wouldn't get a half tank for what its worth, so why not try it out?

the old muffler removal can be quite a time, so good luck!

[ins0mnia24]

Sounds pretty good it is a little raspy but so is the Loudmouth..
Considering the price difference of that and the Loudmouth that is a hell of a deal...

For the record Englishtown now looks for an Oval shaped muffler or what would resemble a chambered muffler during tech inspection..
Any cylinder shaped resonators ect will fail..
They are also starting to fail the single chambered Flowmasters to..
A friend of mine has 2 single chambered Flowmasters on his Firehawk and they just started giving him crap about those now, so he has to replace them with something else..

[JerzyIroc]

so lets say i were to get this delete kit and put a resonator on the ipipe would they let me go with that? wait so they dont allow loudmouths at the track then for muffled races??

you think it would sound just a tad louder on the l98 compared to the 305's?

btw thanks for the vid 8-)

[Tru2Chevy]

Yea - E-town is very strict with noise. You can't run a resonator as your only muffling device there. You must have a chambered muffler, or they won't let you run on muffled days.

- Justin

[sweetbmxrider]

i think an l98 would throw some more noise out the tailpipes. i know this is illegal and shouldn't be done, but i would so weld a muffler case around the delete pipe. make it look legit. its not so loud that you would think otherwise, but it would get a second look.

videos/pics...as long as i have the time i really don't mind. i enjoy it but i really need to get good editing software. windows media maker is weak, especially when trying to add music clips. it doesn't happen.

[ins0mnia24]

No I have tried tech inspection at Englishtown for the EFI Event for the last 2 years and failed every time..
They are very familiar with all of the F-body exhaust tricks, bullet mufflers, cut-outs ect...
I have had plenty of other people try helping plead with them even when there was cars running that day that were alot louder than mine..

They look for Oval shaped Mufflers since almost all chambered Mufflers are Oval shaped, which is why they have started giving people trouble with the single chamber Flowmasters..

Englishtown also has a D.b. meter set-up on the track so if they decide your car is to loud while warming up your tires in the burn out box or leaving the line..
They will tell you that you can not run anymore when you pick up your time slip... I have seen that happen quite a few times even in competitions..

Last year they wouldnt allow a guy to run because he was wearing a tank top the guy had to go to buy a T-shirt so he would be allowed to race..

That's not just an E-town thing - that's either NJ state or NHRA rules (can't remember which). Atco and Island both require the same thing (long pants, closed toe shoes, and at least a t-shirt).

- Justin

[JerzyIroc]

ya i hope the flowmaster i have now is big enough. i'm gonna open it up, gut it and hopefully it'll be big enough to go over the delete pipes.

NHRA rules.

i am almost positive it is. you will need to cut the sides out though, and patch sheet metal in. i would throw hi temp paint all over it too so it doesn't draw attention with different color metal and weld.

VW Napa!! w00t! I used to order a decent amount of parts from you guys when I worked in Ocean. Took a little longer, but prices were awesome.
I wish I had a good Napa dealer in Freehold, I could get parts after 1 on Saturday.

[sweetbmxrider]

we don't own it, they are our parts supplier. they are still awesome and they still take their sweet ass time but its all good. he even got my VHT nightshade and some msd wires for my car. good guys.
