Default What catback exhaust system should I get?

I'm wondering what cat back system I should get. I sord of like the slp loudmouth 1 and also 2, heard 1 is better but also heard the loudmouth sucks overall. I would rather do Borla but that's too expensive. Magnaflow? I don't know. Everyone has something negative to say about every cat back so what do you guys think? ?

Borla is overpriced, Magnaflow will sounds very close to stock unless you get on it. I personally have the SLP Loudmouth 2 and love it. Plenty loud enough and a great deep tone. Loudmouth 1 will be louder, raspier and higher pitched and sound realllly bad if you go longtube headers in the future. I'd highly recommend the Loudmouth 2 if you are on a budget.

If you can spend a little more, go GMMG. They are THE best sounding catback on an otherwise stock ls1 (with headers they don't sound great).

I was going to get the Loudmouth 2 before I decided to try to sell. I love the sound of it!

Yea I youtubed both loudmouth 1 and 2 and I actually like the 2 alot better, has that deep tone that I love. Yea and I'm planning on doing long tube headers in the future as well so want to make sure the cat back i choose is perfect. So for budget wise the Loudmouth 2? ?

Loudmouth 2 is very budget friendly, around $400 I got mine for I believe. Good thing with the LM setups is the LM resonator can be changed out fairly easily for another resonator of the same size (I believe you can fit a small Powerstick, magnaflow bullet or Borla bullet in its place). LM2 should sound great with longtubes, I plan to run longubes with no cats with my LM2

I'm a bit confused with the LM2, says it has a bullet muffler, so it doesn't come with the resonator? And if it's just the resonator, will I pass emissions?

It is a bullet muffler, some people also call it a resonator (not sure if the two terms are interchangable, but I find myself doing just that). You should have problem with emissions as it is still a muffler and I believe it is declared 50 state legal by SLP.

I have the Loudmouth 2 and its cool but honestly i had the Magnaflow on before and it seemed louder.Borja seems to be the most popular for most.
