installed my loudmouth

[black stripes camaro]

i just got my loudmouth on today. It is VERY LOUD. I was wondering if the ricy sound at higher rpms goes away after a while? Any comments or questions please post.

no.

nope, I suggest quad resonated tips to eliminate some of the riceyness at high rpms, as well as smooth it out and quiet it down a bit, cuz my friend in Fla. got a nice ticket cuz he's got a loudmouth and a 3" cat on his 3.8 camaro and when he idles, he can set off car alarms supposedly.

Dynomax bullet muffler in place of the resonator would help too.

Mine doesn't get what i would call ricey at all. Its more of a 'tinny' sound. But it does smooth out quite a bit after driving it for a while. It sounds much better now then when i got it in october. It mellows out a lot. I would say mine now sounds really nice (and loud ;) ) all the way up to ~4500-4700 rpms.

It will smooth out a little, but it will not go away. Rule of thumb: don't rev your 3.8 in neutral if you don't want to hear that horrible pop.

Oh, I just noticed, you have one of those rare '95 3.8s!

On a different message board they said that it would go away. I have a 3.4

Seriously, it will decrease a lot! When the car is cold it will do it at like 3500 rpm, but that is true with most all exhaust (aftermarket). After a few minutes of driving it is much better, trust me, it makes all the difference. I have a 3.4 and love it after just a few weeks! Just give it a little while to burn in. For all intents and purposes you will be able to floor it and it will put a smile on you're face. :D Sounds so deep and mean. Just look at the positives... just about every exhaust on a v6 gets a little 'ricey' as you called it, but not until very high rpms. I've learned to floor it and ease of a little at about ~4700 rpms. No 'rice' at all. After that,well, it is a v6; but for basically straight pipe and 160 hp stock i can't complain. I have to say i'm very satisfied and would not consider switching to any others i've heard. So many people tell me they think it is a v8 at cruising speed. You'll get a lot more people wanting to race you're *** to. [img]smile.gif[/img]

edit: just a little FYI, it sounds awesome with heavy acceleration b/t 3200 to 4000 rpms.. gets that throaty sound!

Here's a REALLY good link on installing the Loudmouth I found. It dosen't say anyhing about the adapter kit needed for the V6, but I bet it'll help.

Yes I am satisfied with my loudmouth. It has already gotten deeper. I did not install it myself I had it done for $80.

Anyone weigh it vs stock cat back?

[pinballwizard]

I just got done ordering the loudmouth, adapter and a new 3" high flow cat. Cant wait to hear it. If I get a digital camera I'll take some pictures and maybe a few vid clips with my video camera. I'm getting rid of the flowmaster, it was good for medium sound, but I like it LOUD :D

[Boehlke]

Hell yeah! In my opinion the Loudmouth is the exhaust to get. But on the other hand I have a thing for loud exhaust. It gives the car more of an aggresive personality I think. I've gotten love it/hate it remarks, and it's all about what you want. I prefer to get people's attention, so I love it. It does sound a tad raspy at high rpms, but under WOT it kicks *** .
