Does the $379.95 price for the slp loudmouths seema little steep?

Couldn't you just have an exhaust shop rig up two straight pipes to the dimensions of the loudmouths and it would be the same minus the tips?

 

that seems really high man. i would check around.

 

Midas made me a set of muffle deletes for 170 dollars using the stock tips that my car came with after i took back my LMs when one of the hangers broke.

 

Does it sound like the Loudmouths do?

 

The loud mouths look basically like muffler deletes with cheaply made thin wall tips.

 

The biggest rip off for the S197 IMO. Weren't they significantly cheaper when they first came out?

 

Wrong again! the loudmouths are some of the highest quality resonators I have ever used, double walled with excellent welds! Far different than running straight pipes!...qaulity and craftsmanship is never a cheap endeavor!!

 

Yes, the LM's were cheaper when they first came out. I got mine for $225 the day before the price increase... the first price increase. Even t$225 was overpriced though, IMO.

No doubt the SLP's are the best looking tips out there. The only problem is the LM tips have the wrong angle to them. The Powerflow tips, however are correct. I have no idea why SLP doesn't put the same tips in both kits.

Can you say OWNED.................

I run the Ford GTA, much better deal $263 shipped. (close to same tips)

 

the SAME EXACT thing happened to my loudmouths its the reason why i just got rid of them.

 

blkstang06: I'm not sure if you have any beef with me by saying "wrong again", but I contacted SLP and they said their tips are of the best quality materials, blah blah blah. Seeing multiple people report the same issues has pretty much reduced my confidence in their product down to nothing, especially since their resonator tips are nothing more than "fart can tips" attached to straight pipes. I'd say they are worth maybe $100-$150 a pair, at MOST $200 based on materials and labor.

The Supreme Performance/FRPP GTAs look like a much better deal, however Maremont (the parent company of SP) offers a mere 90 day warranty for their T-409 SS mufflers.

The Borla Stingers / FRPP 5GTs have a very good warranty, are T-304 SS, and have a decent exhaust note. However they are rather pricey at $380-$420 a pair (FRPPs, Borlas can be $500-$600 or more).

At the present, I am not impressed by any of the axle-back or cat-back exhaust offerings for the Mustang and will keep it stock until I find a good reason to get rid of the stock parts. I heard Bassani's in person and like the sound but not the price.

 

I hear ya. (sorry, bad pun) At this point, I'm happy with running a OR-H pipe and the stock muffs. My only goal for switching mufflers will be a nicer looking tip and hopefully a reduction in weight.

 

Bank for your buck I think the flows are the way to go.

 

Wrong again! if you would go to The Team mustang source thread you would see posts by me stating how well I like my new GTA Supremes ...I ran Bassani's first Then SLP's and now Nino's sale Supremes GT GTA's as far as those damaged SLP'S broken weld point's send them back!....as far as T-409 SS verse's T-304 SS I explained the basic difference's of the of both in a previous thread, 304 has better tensile cariteristics...but I'm not taking my Stang to the moon!!...I just need three or four normal years use out of them! ...Hey you like the factory's that's cool! there a good set up, I haven't read were they were bad..they just weight 600 pounds and sound like your trying to shove your exhaust Thur a brick wall!! ... Beef to pick ...I profoundly apologize if you perceive anything I said to imply that!...See you were wrong again!

 

that steep price is the reason i picked them up used, cant be happier i saved soooo much...$160 shipped from someone on this site

 

I may remove the stock mufflers just to hear what it sounds like.

 

Over the course of three Mustangs; '00 GT vert, '05 GT coupe and '07 GT/CS vert I have had the Flowmaster Series-40 two chamber exhaust, Magnaflow straight through cat back and axle back (on the '05) and now the Supreme GT500/GTA's through Ninosport. IMO the Supremes are the best...quality, good value at $265.00 to my door, and the sound is the best - still sharp and crisp, louder than stock but not too loud, no drone and the 4" dual wall tips are so much better looking than the stock 3" rolled edge tips + with the dual wall the outside surface doesn't get hot enough to melt the rear fascia....all-in-all the perfect exhaust for me.

 

Got to be loud and nasty.....can't imagine a road trip like that....

 

Isn't that what basically the SLP LM's are?
