an xpipe (catted o/r) will just lower the sound or also add more of a throaty sound?

I disagree with this. At this point your gains are probably minimal. With a tune you might pick up 10 -15 hp from just a catback.

Some sites advertise the SLP catback picks up 25hp but I seriously doubt this.

Got any proof of this? His car is completely stock. He might of gotten 2rwhp.

Think about it, ok great, you upgraded to higher flowing mufflers, and the diameter is 2 1/2 instead of 2 1/4, not much different. But the midpipe and headers are still highly restrictive. So thats your limiting factor right there.

Another example, people upgrading to a 75mm t/b while leaving the rest of the intake stock. Thats not going to benefit you because the inlet tube is smaller along with the plenum. No more air is being allowed in then before.

I would not go with an o/r X pipe it will be way to loud. I started off with just the SLP LM catback and then bought a bassani o/r X pipe and it sounded like **** so I ordered bassani mid length headers and the SLP Power Flow mufflers. I love the way my exhaust sounds now.

10-15 with a tune and only a cat back? no way dude, 2-5rwhp maybe. The x/h pipe will probably be around 5-8rwhp. It all adds up man, but don't get caught up in advertised numbers.

Ya, past 2.5k rpms it gets alittle raspy but im fine with it.

SLP O/R Catted X will make it sound worse? or will it lessen the raspy sound?

and i thought that catback MIGHT of added 5-10, to the engine, not the rear. =\ oh well

2-3rwhp seems low to me on a GT for a catback exhaust. maybe a v6 mustang.
Is this proof that a catback does add more than 0 horsepower?
Sure the 10hp was on a bullitt but a GT isnt that far from it.

So, what would be the best Xpipe to get for my SLP1 LM's, that will make it alittle louder, alittle deeper, and MAYBE less raspy(if not less raspy its fine)

SLP LM1's dont seem loud enuff.

IF you go off road then yeah it will be louder and raspier. But its one or the other its not a SLP off road catted x-pipe like you keep typing. Its one or the other. Its either catted or off road.
