as for the mid pipe make sure you get the ones that fit with the headers you are going to purchace.. if you read on here you will find that the H and X make about the same power but have a different sound... check youtube...

IMHO since you already have the LM1 catback id go for the whole SLP system

+1 on going with the whole system. those loudmouth 1's are going to be INSANELY loud with an off road mid pipe.

my friend you have it bass akwards. an x pipe gives you that raspy aggressive nascar sound with a nice crackle and the h pipe gives you that deep classic muscle car sound.

1+ on the loudness.

Just know that if you go with an off-road X or H with the LM, it will be extremely LOUD. It's not even a pleasant tone. Its more of an annoying sound rather than deep. Compare the sound to open headers. Im telling you this by experience. I had to remove those glass packs and replace them with magnaflow mufflers. But then again, I have no cats whatsoever. LM might sound better with hi-flow cats...not sure though. Either way, let us know what mid-pipe you chose and tell us if you like it or not. Good luck with your exhaust.

LM1's sound like ass if they are paired with an o/r pipe. The LM2's sound awesome with an o/r but not the LM1's. Get a catted midpipe, or you'll be grinding your teeth a few weeks into having that setup.
