SLP LM II or Borla ATAK

Looking for a rather loud exhaust. I currently have ARH 1 7/8" with catted x-pipe. Replacing my Pure Thunder axle back with either of these two. Anyone have any videos of theirs or others with the ARH and xpipe with the LM II? Looking to buy either soon. Drone not a problem, nor loudness.

Why not just do a muffler delete if you're considering the LMII? They're pretty close to the same thing from what I understand.

The Loud Mouth II won't be as loud as the Borla Atak. Either system would be pretty damn loud though. The Loud Mouth II would probably be a cleaner sound with less rasp then the Atak. The Loud Mouth I is a 3" axleback. I know the ARH necks down but if you cut off that small section you would be able to run a 3" system all the way through. Not that it needs to be but a lot of people really like the idea.

Thanks for clearing that up. I've heard plenty of videos of the ATAKs with headers but not the Loudmouths. I'm really leaning towards the ATAKs. Want something that will wake up the house/barracks/neighborhood when I start it

Here is my LS3 with Kooks 1 7/8 LT's (hi-flow cats) with Loud Mouth II axle-back.

Just a note:

The LM II is not a 3" axle-back only the LM I and Power Flo are though.

Ya, I would not call my LM II set up with longtubes loud, but at the same time I would not say they are quiet. At wide open throttle they really come to life. They do have a really healthy sound. It's really hard to get the real sound out of an exhaust through a video clip.

Would you like to put a friendly wager on that?

I have one sitting here right now and the pipes are 2.5", like I said the LM I and Power Flo are 3" and use 3" to 2.5" adapters.

Not a betting man, but only going by what is on the site below... maybe it is incorrect then.

No he was right the LM2 is a 2.5" system. The LM1 and Power flow are 3" with the2.5" adapter.
