I just put the Loud Mouth on my Z and it sounds friggen awesome, so there's my recommendation...albeit mine doesn't have the resonator (too loud for CA on the LT1). Just my opinionSteve

Ya know... you never hear about it on all of the forums, but...
Since I am a Random Technology distributor I decided to check out their cat-back system.
The pricing is good it is available in stainless or aluminized, it makes VERY good power...... and it sounds AWESOME. It's LOUD when you mash the go pedal, yet moderate when cruising.
I am running it with the headers and no cats. I would never have a problem with police (unless I'm reving or accelerating hard... where I shouldn't be). And the thing simply roars when I mash on it.
Has 3" angle cut single tips.
Here's a clip of one of the recent dyno runs with the system installed:

I have not added the system to the web site yet.... woops..
I don't have any photos of the complete system at this time. I do have a couple of under car shots while on the dyno rack, but not accessible right now.
Also available for the LT1 cars.
Pricing....
Aluminized - $359.95
Stainless - $579.95
Plus shipping.
Let me know if you (or anyone else) would like some pics. I can take some on the car.
Thanks,

I'm trying to figure out what kind of exhaust I should get... lots of people recommend the loudmouth, but lots of people say the LM is just too loud. I still want something deep and mean and loud, just maybe a step below the loudmouth. And since these RT ones you're talking about are right at about the same price as the LM i'll probably consider them both, as well as the more expensive borla.

Aluminized is standard steel with a chemical coating of aluminum (kind of like zinc plating or zinc-chromate, but based on aluminum) on the pipes and the muffler. Aluminized systems will typically last for quite a few years, even in the snow belt. It will eventually start to rust, but it takes a good long time.
See the photo, below. All of the piping shown is aluminized and has been on the car for a year with one winter. The aluminized piping has fared better than the Jet-Hot coated prototype headers (I don't use Jet-Hot on the production parts)!
Stainless steel is a steel alloy that has other non-corrosive metals in it (namely, Nickel). Through this marrying of different metals, the steel becomes resistant to corrosion (rust). This is not just a coating. It is the complete metal. Stainless steel can typically be considered a lifetime product. The stainless steel can also be polished to a chrome-like finish.
If you are running cats, the R.T. system will be very nice as far as the sound goes. It will be very comfortable at cruise, yet will still have a "race-car" sound when you hammer on it.

But, it is just fine for cruise -- loud? Yes. But not TOOOOO bad, until you want it to be

I have a Loudmouth and love it. Perfect loud. The "resonator" is just an expansion pipe that helps stop back fires and crackling when you come off the throttle. So basiclly no muffle. If you want loud, this is the exhaust for you.97 SS #C007
