Passing VA State inspection w/ Loudmouth?

[LSWONZ28]

I just bought this car about 4 weeks ago it's a '99 Z28 A4. It still had the stock exhaust on it so we welded up a Hooker Aerochamber at work it improved the sound a little but it's still not loud enought lol. I had a Z28 a few years back also a '99 (dunno why guess I just like that year lmao) i the Borla exhaust on it and loved it Good Gawd it sounded good! Anyway I really don't have the money to be buying the Borla now so I'm really leaning towards the SLP LM. My only concern is getting the car inspected after I install it. I live in Virginia and most of the inspectors around here are pretty strict. Is it a passable exhaust or will they look under the car and say hell no! LOL

Thanks
Chris

It's hit or miss...its up to the inspector.

if they are looking for noise, you will fail.
as for a sniffer test, it wont be any different than the stock system because you still have cats.

Get inspected with the hooker and then swap it after you pass....done deal

lol yeah well it's got a 01/07 inspection on it now so I guess I'm good for about 11 months....guess I could just install it and worry about getting it inspected when the time comes lol

Have you actually heard the loudmouth exhaust? It's gonna be quite a bit louder than the Borla you like so much, and sound less refined.

Yeah i've heard it. My orginal plan was just to buy the Borla but when i bought it for the other car it was $630 at Summit and now it's $200 more! LM is still around $400 shipped i can deal w/ less refined SLP for that much of a price difference.

Yeah if I end up getting the LM that will be the one I buy.

Isn't the LM II supposed to be louder? I'm not sure but I'll be ordering mine tomorrow and need to decide!
