Sorry, I didn't mention this. I'm running the Corsa Sports, which I believe is the middle one as far as loudness. Is the Xtreme really that much louder?
Trumpeting for me usually happens around 2500RPMs or so and sounds like a loud farty noise, but it only occurs under lightish acceleration and for 400 RPMs or so.
I don't believe there are any differences between muffler deletes for various companies, except for the Boomtubes which I believe have something special inside their 'muffler' section.
God damn sir you have explained that sound perfectly and the exact RPM band. Except my car trumpets even at WOT... its just hard to hear over the sound of all my small explosions shooting out my exhaust.
After cams and longtubes I had horrible drone and trumpeting with some spintech race mufflers. Cutting in some pypes m80s got rid of the trumpeting and switching the spintechs for flowmaster Ameri thunders cured the drone. Then I added FI and overpowered the entire system..........dont like it now. Damn 3v exhaust!
I really liked my SLP Loudmouth axleback's with the OEM H-pipe on my car. It had a deep rumble and sounded great.
Not long after I switched over to a catted SLP x-pipe with the axleback's. It was stupid loud and had a good sound, but absolutely NO TONE to it.
I then went with some SLP Loudmouth II resonators mounted "mid-muffer" which added a good tone.
I wanted it louder though so I went catless. With this setup I get a shit load of trumpeting ~2400-2600 rpm and it's really raspy, however, I really like the way it sounds. It's definitely deafening loud, but has a very distinct sound.
Not the best quality video, and I didn't launch the car that great, but you get the gist of it.
Thank you! Headers, O/R X, SLP's, and Hot Rods here and I wouldn't change a thing! I get nothing but compliments on how my car sounds.
I think most of the "that setup sounds like shit" comments from guys here are from internet rumors. I've been on this site for a long while and have read numerous times that SLP's and off-road sound like shit, which is OK if a guy actually ran that combo and didn't like it. But for others to read that and assume it's the case, which I believe is 90% of the time, then that's pure ignorance. I used to run JBA mufflers with an O/R H and thought it trumpeted worse, but I don't go around posting that blindly because I know others here would take it and run with it.
In my opinion, all the libel about SLP's and O/R setups that is rampant here brings this forum closer to mustangforums.com level...
