Default Going to quiet my LM1 exhaust down

I am going to quiet my loud mouth exhaust down on my 97 TA by swapping the resonator out for one of these two. What muffler would be the quietest? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dynom...item56433bec43

They should actually be about the same just provide a different tone. Thought about adding a couple of bullet mufflers just before the tips and leaving the resonator in? Itll cost a little more but itll make more of a volume diff than just swapping out mufflers

Hey:

I went with two of these:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Moros...item4cf59abddd,
it made it quieter and cop friendly, put them at each side by the tail pipes tips, they also come in 2 1/2" i/o for it to match your SLP LM , the polished ones stay nice for a very long time. This way if you want it loud again you just remove them and put in the straight thru pipes and don't have to fiddle getting under the car to pull the i pipe a part.
2 1/2" ones, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Moros...item56434583a2

Hey:

I can't help you out with pics right now as my car and me are about 9,000 miles apart. but you can look in my garage and go to more pictures to give you a few ideas of the exhuasts I have had on my car. Also I'll get some current ones when I get back of my other car that has them like I described, it is a Red Ultra Z, it will be after April before I can get them.
