Hey i am wanting to do my exhaust out the side before the tire, how the Lightning have it. I am going to be running it with SLP loud mouth resonator, what pipe size should i run? I am thinking maybe 2.5"?

this is the loud mouth aka Straight pipe:



Also where can i buy tips?

 

stock is 2.5" so its probably a safe route. does the loudmouth lower the dB levels at all??

 

DB?

 

dB=decibel level=sound level

 

from what ive heard it make it louder, resonates the sound in theory. Also where can i buy some nice tips?

 

magnaflow, flowmaster, basically any of the big name exhaust companies make nice stainless steel tips in every size and shape. i have flowmaster tips on mine.

 

wow i cant wait to see and hear this. i owned a firebird before my truck and am still an fbody enthusiast and MANY of these guys run gmmg or slp systems. they sound great behind an lsx motor. i really cant wait to hear it on a mod motor.

i would also recomend magnaflow tips, i have a single 4in rolled magnaflow tip that i rarely clean (work AND go to school full time) and it still looks perfect. it was also very resonabley priced. total price out the door welded on was 30 cash.

this is also the same guy that put on a pollished stainless magnaflow muffler installed for 90. cant beat a $120 catback (stock pipe is plenty big for the 4.6 and my use)

 

Well i already had the slp... its sounds great... i actually just added a tail pipe, it cleaned up the sound real nice!
