WTT - ZO6 Ti EXHAUST for SLP LOUDMOUTHS
Okay, I just installed a beautiful set of Tis and I just want more...I want LOUD! So, I am looking at a straight up trade. If you are interested, let me know.
Sure, I know this is a long shot, being on the "ZO6VETTE.COM" forum, but it is worth a shot.

I don't follow your posts. This week you had and sold the Borla straight pipes and installed the TI's because the Borlas were too loud. Now you are asking for straight pipes again????

Yeah, my wife wanted the car to be less loud, I loved the sound. So, today after cruising around and not being really happy with the sound, I had a heart to heart and told her I wanted the full nasty sound. She agrees that I was much more happier with the other exhaust setup, so I am working to get something louder, but what I really want is the SLP LOUDMOUTHS are the STRAIGHT PIPES. I like the LMs ability to fill in the rear section.
I had SLP's loudmouth, it sounded to my liking. After the addition of LT's it got unbearable, I still loved the way it shrieked at WOT, but it was always loud and my neighbors eventually complained, and the cops were on me like white on rice if I ever got on it and they were within a five mile radius.
I would recommend staying with the stock titanium, and adding LT's. I have a decent cam, and I LOVE the way my car sounds. At WOT you can hear it, it has a bark. At 1500 in 6th on the freeway you cant hear it. It is a popular combo for this reason. Another alternative I would recommend would be the aformentioned set up with electric cut outs, that is a great set up.

Well, I appreciate the write, but I had a pretty good size cam and loved the sound of my previous setup (BORLA STRAIGHT PIPES) and I am now kicking myself in the az$ for selling them to get these. Truth be known, I realy am not concerned with the law and such around here, the neighbors love my car and listening to it, some even use me as an alarm in the morning! I just want the car aggressive and I am wanting to trade. Plus, I really am not liking the way the Tis sound with the cam and LTs.
Hope you find what you are looking for man. Usually you see these for sell quite often, but I haven't seen any in a while, and everybody seems to be wanting them.

We have the same taste, Im telling you loudmouths are a lot louder than Borla's system, especially with LT's and a cam. It sounds like friggin NASCAR, or identical to the C6R's and Panoz esperantes that ran up here at Infineon last year. You have no idea what youre getting yourself into if you havent heard this system with LT's.
It is beyond tolerable, when I dynoed all of the mechanics had to drop what they were doing down at A&A and run out of the shop covering their ears. They looked at me as though I was crazy to want it that loud.
Im not exaggerating at all. If your wife was concerned before with the Borla I wouldnt even waste my time and money with this set up. Not only that, but in my honest opinion it sounded like a tractor at idle. No BS, it didnt sound like a clean idle, it may have been valvetrain noise that would otherwise be muffled.
The cleanest system I have heard that sounds really aggressive are bullets. I would consider bullets over the loudmouth, it sounds deeper and cleaner at idle. If I move somewhere like death valley, montana, or alaska where I wont have neighbors or more than 1 cop per 100 square miles I would consider the bullets.

WTT - ZO6 Tis FOR SOMETHING MORE AGGRESSIVE like BORLA Stingers
I have a set of ZO6 Tis and installed them on my 2000 and have put about 30 miles on them - so, they have a total of 178 miles on them and they are not giving me the aggressive sound that I am looking for. I am running SLP LTs and off-road H-pipe and they sounded great with my old BORLA Straight pipes, but that was to much for my neighbor's and wife, so I went with the Tis and I like them, but they just don't have the aggressive sound I want at WOT or idle for that matter.
