If you have SLP LM 1 and you take your cats off your car will sound horrible, but it will make it much louder.

i dont think it would sound horrible..but after reading many post its a person's personal choice of what he likes cause everyone has their own sound they like (i hope it put it right) ...like many people think SLP sound horrible period or magnaflow are horrible...but most of friends have SLP on their cars with the cats off and i like the sound of their cars...of course they have camaros trans am so i know it wouldnt be the same...but im tryin to say that some people think cats off sound horrible others really like it..i guess you either hate it or love it thing..i personally think its the best sound but i know thats just me and everyone has their own sound they like

I'm not saying no cats sound horrible with all exhaust. I will be catless next week. Just on the SLP LM 1. With the SLP LM 2 you can go catless and it will sound good. SLP LM 1 resonators have virtually zero flow restrictions and with no cats the exhaust sounds like it's coming through hollow cans at higher RPMs. It does have a mean idle though. You are quite right that it is all opinion, I'm just trying to put it out there so you don't go catless and wonder why all you friend's cars sound good with it and your Mustang sounds crappy. Nobody likes to spend mod money then regret it. In the end it is your car and your decision.
