Well since SLP loudmouths are officially a ripoff and I can get a custom muffler delete for much much cheaper. I'm looking at different mufflers. I live in CA and with a custom job with no mufflers I'll never pass the visual smog test. :angry:
I was thinking, anyone have the list of axle-back kits and the gains?

Some people will argue that the SLP is not a "rip-off".
MM&FF did a testing, and Bassani made th biggest gains. For the price, I opted for the Flowmasters American Thunder kit. Sounds great, and adds a bit of pep.

And besides, in California, you don't need to worry about a smog test for six years (until 2011).

Find me a place they have em for $220 shipped nowadays and I'll give you a big, fat hug.

So is your custom straight pipe going to include CNC'd double walled machined tips probably not.

No, but you can choose cheaper or better tips...

I was going to buy them when they were 220 then 3 days later they wnet up to 315 and gradually kept getting more expensive. They're almost to 400 dollars now. If they were cheaper I'd buy them.

I got mine "pre-owned" for $150+shipping... maybe others will be for sale, too.

i found em for 294 free shipping www.lmperformance.com

I thought $220 was pretty high for what amounts to about 3 foot of maderal bent pipes and two nice tips but bought them and still love em. The tips are by far the best looking (its subjective and only my personal opinion) out there.
I live in california and passed smog with flex pipe after my muffler fell off my old Renault That was probably ten years ago though, the test has changed quite a bit now.

Some confusion may be caused when looking online because of the 2 different sub-products
http://www.rpmoutlet.com/05gtslp.htm
the "Loudmouths" and the "Powerflows"
has anyone tried the powerflows?
I'm nervous about just eliminating the mufflers entirely w the Loudmouths, I suppose I could get away with it in Texas, but its probably going to enrage my neighbors

I agree that the price increase is rediculous. I bought mine for $255 shipped way back. I might need to sell them though. If someone makes a decent offer, they're yours.
