you can hear them in this video I took a long time ago. I know how to maximize the trumpeting and did it in this video next to a wall type area to hear it better. you'll know it when you hear it

I loved the sound from my 5GTs but could'nt stand the drone, so I sold them and went with the GTAs. The GTA's sound good at WOT but they're lacking at cruise.

gta's are perfect. I had the fordracing/borla, the bassanis, x pipe , comp cats etc. The only one I like after all that is the supreme from nino sport/ same as the gta's, louder than stock with a nice rumble but no drone, just like a factory set up. The xpipe makes it more raspy a higher pitch not lower, and it did not help with drone either, probably worse. So if your like me and like a nice sound but dont want any drone, gta is the only choice I think. good luck too all.

Resonators installed today....... 18" Dynamax bullet-style....... cost me $100 total. Now running factory manifolds, Pypes offroad H, resonators, and Borla catback........

Not much time to talk now, but in short I am VERY HAPPY with the sound. This is the happiest I've been with the car exhaust-wise in a long, long time. Very little trumpeting, drone is about 95% gone and easily overcome by average radio volume, mean aggressive tone, loud but not OMG loud...... very very good overall I'm really amazed on how it sounds.

I'll try for clips later this week, but will be hard with a hectic schedule before the BLOWER install!

I love my Loudmouths. The only time I have been able to make them drone is on a hill out here with an 8% grade, at about 40 mph. The rest of the time they sound awesome!!! Reminds me of my old Chevelle.

Another satisfied resonator install! Everyone I know of that has had them installed (online) loves them.

I felt exactly like you did after getting my resonatores installed, it totally changed the exhaust for the better. Now I'm just curious as to what it would sound like with LT's and an O/R H. Hopefully I'll find out here shortly!

By the way, where did they install yours? Mine were installed right after the mid-pipe clamps and before the over axle pipes.

It took a long time to find, but the sound is perfect IMHO! Congrats!

are the GTA's louder than stock? aren't the GT/CS's are equipped with GTA's? When I test drove the GT/CS it didn't sound too much louder...
I want a nice sound(30-50% louder than stock, i'm guessing), but these drone complaints are scaring me...

I do a lot of driving in Los Angeles stop-n-go traffic, so I'm at the lower rpm's a lot. I get a headache driving in traffic already, will the stingers' drone make it worse?
