So here's another question for everyone.. I'm sure I know what the answer is going to be. I love that old school sound of my SLP Loudmouths, but if I was to get LT's and an offroad X/H pipe, would the noise level be unbearable? Once again, I love that aggressive sound!
How loud is it now?
I just installed FFRP shorty headers and MagnaFlow high flow cats with x-pipe. I would say the sound level went up 10-15%. Sound quality went up 100%.

Has anyone had any issues with clearence between headers and the steering shaft?
It's brand-dependent. No issues with my SLPs but had clearance issues with MAC shorties. Have also heard that some BBK shorties have had problems. Some had had to actually take a ballpeen hammer and tap a little indent in the header where it hits the shaft.

It is not hitting bad but I can feel in the steering wheel when turning to the right. Do you think there might be enough play in the motor support to frame bolt hole to shift the engine to the right slightly?

Some with the JBAs have had clearance issues and have had to install stiffer motor mounts (a'la Steeda.) I know this is not the case with Kooks, and I have not heard this beeing the case with the others...?? Also, I think JBA fixed this issue?
Unbearable sound? Let's see; 1.5" wide open headers to 2.5" wide open piping back to 4" wide open tubes... think!
It may sound cool with some racing cats on a H though...??

Yes you can actually shift the motor. Someone on here just recently did that. Might be better in the long run to go with a stiffer motor mount (Prothane or Steeda).
How loud are the loudmouths right now? Well, they are pretty loud.. very deep rumble until I step on it (then its LOUD!!!). Pretty sure it would be too obnoxious if I bolted on LT's and an O/R H or X pipe...

IMO, except for cabin drone, the SLPs are the best looking and sounding muffler (well, we all know it's not really a muffler) you can run with the stock exhaust setup. I was really disappointed that I had to get rid of them.

Loosened motor support bolts, shifted the motor to the right about 1/4 inch, problem sloved. Thanks
