Longtubes + o/r x + Stingers = too loud?

[MJR0189]

Hey guys, quick question:

I'm currently running Bassani mid lengths, Bassani o/r x, and SLP Loudmouths on my 03 Cobra. I wanted to try the SLP thing and see what the fuss was about, but this is way, way, waaaay too much. It's literally wake-the-dead loud. People stare at me like I'm a maniac haha. It's the loudest street car I've ever heard, and I really don't like the tone above 2500 RPM. Plus, it draws too much heat from the cops- I've been stopped three times in a month! (No tickets though)

Now, I was thinking about switching to the Bassani cat-back or the Borla Stingers. I want something deep and muscular, but will still roar when I step on it. Will the Stingers be too much, like the SLP setup? Or will it have a deeper tone? I understand that pretty much any set up is going to be loud because of my mid lengths and o/r mid-pipe, but what do you guys think? Bassani cat-back or the Stingers?

that setup is loud even with just moderate acceleration i personally have bbk lomgtubes bbk catted h pipe and stingers right now and its still loud i also have an offroad x that was on it when i bought the car it was wake the dead loud. my neighbor says he could hear me jumping on the freeway and this is about three big blocks away i am happier with the catted h and have been trying to trade for magnaflows for a while now to quiet it up some more. but hey im 32 and an old man hehe j/k. but really its just personal preferrance you might like it underpasses and bridges are always fun and it catches motorcycles off gaurd when your louder than they are

i built a catted H for the longtubes, sounds decent with the sLP LM1 catback.. not loud

 

[bizzmeister]

LOL dude borla stingers will be just as loud with that setup, if not louder!

I run LT's with a mac pro chamber and Magnaflows.. I am pleasantly surprised on how quiet it is. It sounds really nice. I have tuned SLP loudmouths and in my opinion they are WAYY too loud and sound like S@#T

bassani are sleepers. you would never know how loud my car is until i step on it. slp longtubes o/r x-pipe and bassani bx catback. Think the borla would be just as loud as what you have now. magnaflow might be too quiet not sure of the magnapack which is a bullet type muffler as the stinger.

 

[MJR0189]

I'm not worried about the volume, or actual loudness, but the tone, if that makes sense. What I don't care for with the SLP setup is the rasp and high pitched cackle/snarl. I want a muscular, deep, growl sound, with just a dash of rasp. I'm leaning towards the Stingers, but I'm worried that they will be too high pitched because of the mid-length headers.

Get the magnaflows. The stingers will be just as loud as the slp. The magnaflow with off road x will sound great at wot.

 

[mgmustang1]

bassani is deep sound not raspy. i think a bullet type muffler would be raspy but never had stingers on my car. i know slp is too raspy thats why i did everything slp and bassani catback. doesnt sound raspy at all just a little quiet at idle.

I have a complete Bassani system, mid lengths, catted x and cat back... not too bad but pretty loud when you drop the hammer. Got admit it drones a bit on the highway. Originally I went without cats but I thought it was too loud, cats solved it for me.

Confirmed setup sounds great.

No drone either.

borlas are raspy, pop, crackle and snarl also from what ive heard chambered mufflers have that deep tone you want nothing like a old 5.0 with single chamber flows aghhhh

longtubes + o/r X + stingers will sounds like hell on earth, but so good...so good.

Add a catted X pipe and you will tone it down a bit, still sounds ohh so good, but more tolerable for longer periods.

This vid is kooks long tubes w/ catted x and borla stingers.

THANK YOU! I've been trying to find a Longtube/catted x/stinger setup for so long. This sounds so good. Any idea if it will sound similar if using Mac LT and different catted x? Also is your system 3" x-pipe or 2.5"

My Mac lt's or x and my stingers sound amazing and really dont bother me as far as loudness I'd recommend stingers

same exhaust as me :beer:

 

[SuperSport01]

Stingers are louder than a Loudmouth. Magnapacks FTW!

 

[TerminatorSVT03]

Love it more and more everyday lol

 

[postalbunny]

If it's too loud add cats... i have bassani mid + o/r x + stingers... sounds great. When I the flow tubes are off and cat's are on it's much quieter. Same sound though.

Ok, I've narrowed it down to either the Stingers or the "quiet" cat-back. Is rasp gonna be an issue with the Stingers? It's not the volume of my SLPs that bugs me, it's the tone. I can't stand that blatty, trumpety sound they make. Will the Stingers be "hollow" sounding and raspy, or will they be deeper? Believe it or not, I've never heard Stingers in person, haha, but everything else besides them.
