I don't know what the CME setup looks like (except that it's my initials haha) but I have longtubes, catted Y and a loudmouth system with a Borla bullet (p/n 40085.) The Borla cut down a a LOT of the drone, but is still has the loud, deep muscle car sound (important to me.) My car is an auto, so I don't get pops when decelerating, but it definitely has a nice sound at idle and is loud as ***** at WOT \m/

I run a full SLP exhaust with long tubes a ORY, and a LM1 on my 2002 N.H.R.A. Edition Formula M6, and its loud as Hell and baaaad assssss. Neighbors hear it blocks away and they love the look of the car, so they don't gimmie a hassle. I always go for the most horsepower regardless of how loud. As a lover of 2 stroke 3 wheelers like the 250r, I say louder is always better. Always

Yeah, and I'll bet the cops just *love* it, too. Enjoy the constant police interviews.

And this is why I no longer wish to have an Fbody.

Yea, I was on a test drive in a customers car with that setup. It got old really fast. Like a mile down the road fast. Horrible

In my opinion:

To get a good sounding exhaust, you need 3 things.

1.) CID
2.) Cam
3.) Exhaust system

Just like ricers, if you do something like run headers into an open or LM1 exhaust, it will be loud and obnoxious, not deep or throaty. Louder = Better works about the same as picking a cam by Bigger = Better.

Or another example. I can blast Fran Drescher and Gilbert Gottfried singing Christmas carols at you at 120 db. You won't like it even though it's loud.

I do not understand. Please elaborate.
U can here my car a few blocks away and i drive past police all te time. I think as long as ur car looks good, u dont look like a hippie, ur not doing something stupid in ur car, and ur car sounds good they wont really care. Im not talking open header car that sounds like a boat sound. So far lakewood, howell, jackson, and state boys have been good to me.

I'm referring to cars that are ridiculously loud. If you can be heard a few blocks away just driving easily, then you're probably in the realm. Too loud on the street attracts the wrong kind of attention, which pisses off the general public, which in turn calls for politicians to put the kibosh on modding. Look what's going on in the diesel crowd; all the tuners available in the US now do not have the options to delete the DPF and the EGR, and that's by a few random idiots 'rolling coal' and belching black smoke all over. Meanwhile, the guy who has a clean running modded rig just got screwed over by a reject with a mullet who doesn't realize that blowing black smoke isn't cool.

Actually my buddy who coworks for xdp doing installs and was ford diesel tech says there really after the dpf part. In instance the egr delete on a 6.0 diesel is a good thing cause it helps prolong the motor. I usually get complements for my car from people like oh that things sounds nice n looks nice. Some old guy thought i had a 454 under the hood lol.

What about sweet thunders? I hear they are pretty loud, but still have a nice deep roar to them. Just a thought
