RE: Loudest Exhaust for a Z28
Hey, I was just searching for stuff about SLP LM's in the forum and found this post.
Spartan - you're mentioning wanting to be emissions legal. I've read that loudmouth cat-backs are 50 state emissions legal, but what about sound? See, I want something that is loud too, but not so loud that I get pulled over everyday. Are Loudmouths legal as far as sound goes, too? EDIT: When I'm thinking "emissions" I'm thinking about CO emission, not sound emission... When they say 50 state emissions legal, do they mean sound and/or CO?
I don't plan on putting in headers, and I'm keeping my cat, and in tact. Will LM's (1 and 2) pass inspection, because they don't really have mufflers do they? They call it a bullet-style muffler, but isn't it just a resonator? A resonator isn't really considered a muffler is it? And don't you have to have muffler to get inspected?

Well, haha, that doesn't really address my previous question, but raises a new one... How much would a LM I affect my gas mileage?...
RE: Loudest Exhaust for a Z28
oh sorry, Im pretty sure LM are legal. Now, making a camaro sound like a harley.. THATS breaking emssion code.. but since their pretty loud already its hard to tell.. I know at least for Mustang GTs Magnaflows were loud but not enough for a ticket. Keeping your stock manifolds and cats will also save sound.. They kinda work to muffle it aswell since that dont flow like off road pipes or aftermarket headers.
