Default Need to quiet Loudmouth a bit

I've got a Loudmouth resonator and need to quiet down the exhaust a couple notches. Is there a bolt-in replacement for the resonator that will do this w/o killing performance too much?

Ideas?

Trash it and get a Magnaflow cat-back.

I thought about that too. ST makes a chambered tail pipe that looks really good. Problem is the passenger side tail pipe of the LM isnt straight. It has a couple of bends in it and isnt long enough to replace with the ST tail pipe. I emailed sweet thunder and they said they might make a 3" in/out with a 2.75" inner baffle.

That would be cool if they made a 3" in/out with something bigger than 2.5" inner baffle, then I would put one in place of my resonator for sure.
