Favorite Sounding LT-1 Exhaust
Im going to be in the market for a cat-back very soon. The car Im getting has a rusty cat-back (the only rust) And has a hole in it. So that means time to buy a new cat back (oh noes  )
I was looking around and I really like the sound of the Corsa cat-back exhaust. http://www.corsaperf.com/flashcam-fire.htm
My personal requirments, are a nice rumbly idle, loud WOT, a gurgle when I let off the gas, and possibly running an off-road Y-pipe. (M6 car) And no Flowmastuhs.

i Like loud exhausts as much as the next guy but you couldnt hear the person next to you talk with my borla...and randy's lm was still louder inside and out by far even with the stock converter....whereas i was at 3000+ rpms at almost all times...with no cats its loud.

So? That's the point 
They don't call it a LOUDmouth just because it flows well.

cant go wrong with the Hooker...DeadTrend(Tim) has it on his car, ask him how he likes it...cheapest out there and from what ive heard from vids its mean...theres an LT1 around here with borla, sounds good...
go to www.ls1sounds.com , theres a couple LT1's on there...the LM is good, only with cats though, w/o cats, it gets very ugly sounding IMO, not a big fan of it

That's not a badass sound, that's an obnoxious sound.  And if you're running a Loudmouth with no cats you're just asking for a ticket.
The GMMG chambered system sounds pretty good on the LT1's. The SLp 2 on the left also sounds great, but it looks funny without pipes on each side.

I forgot about price lol. Some of those sewer pipes are pretty pricey. And I think the SLP was the cheapest lol

I personally don't like hearing sounds from LS1sounds.com....Every single car on there is cold started and rev'ed. Any car with any exhaust on this god forsaken planet sounds bad when you do that, it's just not the way to make a decision. Personally, I agree with people about the loudmouth beng raspy and sounding like ****, but thats only on start up, once that sucker is warmed up taking it easy down the street a little, it's amazing...Especially on the LT-1, that cast iron block provides for a deeper, more throaty sound than the LS-1. I've dealt with both, and everyone misses the way my 97 WS-6 with the LM sounded.
Talk to you later

I like the corsa personally. Even though I dont have that exhaust I do like how they sound. I'm in love with mine....hooker LT's, no cats, mufflex Y, dynomax ultraflow muffler. I also have a handy electric cutout for when I really wanna shake windows.

Magnaflow. It's MUCH deeper and louder in the LT1 than in the LS1. This is because of diferences in cam ,converters and y pipe. That extra 15 HP or so
doesn't hurt either.

Still it looks like im going with the Texas Speed & Performance "Rumbler" Cat-back.

I have a borla setup and it sounds pretty nice...
I once had a hooker aerochamber muffler...I got a lot of compliments from that one.

im considering a new exhaust. I've read theres something out there that sounds throaty but relatively quiet at idle and low rpms, but as soon as you gun it, it gets real loud. not obnoxious, but powerful sounding. i heard it once on a trans am when i was out getting ice cream. saw it passing by, and said to myself "nice car." turned around and a second later that this was taking off ROARING. When i go out, i want something impressive sounding, but it cant be continually loud. I usually get up early/come home late, and i dont want to wake anyone. chances are im in trouble for getting home as late as i do, and i dont wanna make an announcement that i'm home if i can just slip in unnoticed. btw, im running on a stock exhaust (well, not STOCK stock, but stock style. single exhaust with dual outlet. it was put on my car by the machine shop that rebuilt my engine. Engine is under warrenty, does anyone know if a dual exhaust will void the warrenty on the engine?)
