what bullet muffler to get to replace my LM resonator? Right now I have the Loudmouth I catback and SLP y-pipe, and I love how it sounds now. But soon I will be getting Lt's and doing a H/C swap so I want to replace the resonator with bullet muffler. I want a mean aggressive sound like I have now(and I don't mind if it is as loud or a bit louder than now). But I don't want it to be much quieter especially now before the long tubes go in. So here are my choices Dynomax bullet or Magnaflow bullet. Please give input with the vote. Like I said I want a deep fairly loud tone but little to no rasp.
Thanks
Thanks

Well I know its inevitable but I want to minimize it as much as possible. I think I am going to go with a high flow catted Y-pipe to help reduce the rasp.
I just want it to sound good now before the LT's and not be too quiet.

I had the loudmouth. When I put longtubes and ORY on, I didn't like the rasp. I switched to a dynomax bullet. It helped a lot with the rasp and was still just as loud. I had the 'dynomouth' for about 6 months and liked it the whole time.
(I got rid of the whole set-up altogether right before I put a cam in it. In anticipation of it being too loud afterward.)

I just replaced my LM resonator with a 16" Powerstick and it sounds great. You're gonna get some rasp no matter what. Mine is a bit deeper now and has regained some backpressure and I'm really happy with it.

Magnaflow takes my vote.
Great tone, never mild but tame sounding low throttle and idle. Wild when your on it.
I think it is a great setup, to the point I waited 2 weeks till my bullet got shipped before installing the LM system.
LM alone either 1 or 2 I find unrefined sounding just loud.

However, if you have used the correct diameter Powersitck it will actually be flowing better than the 3" tubing of the rest of the catback, so you will have actually gained any backpressure.

RASP is IMO largley a myth. Heads and cam will alter sound anyhow.
Pacesetter Lt's and Catted Y = $700 from TSP.
If after the LTs, catted Y and h/c it is still a little too raspy try pretty much any bullet muffler (they are all pretty similar in basic design and sound).
Magnalfow bullets are dirt cheap off of Ebay.

the XR1 is the best stright through type muffler for cutting down noise and rasp. nice smooth deep tone. Im considering running the XR1 dumped over the axle.
