I'm not an engineer but I would think that any restriction would reduce horsepower, so a straight-through design would be best for power and speed. The Loudmouth is basically a set of straight pipes with no mufling or baffling. I don't see how that resonator would restrict flow at all, it's just a tube.

I added a loudmouth 2 dual/dual system on my car last year. I ran a best of 12.35 with this system. I didnot like the sound of the loudmouth 2 resonator, too loud. I ordered a magnaflow bullet muffler and had it immediately installed in place of the lm2 muffler. With no other changes I went 12.03! The magnflow bullet muffler did quiet the car down to acceptable levels and I went faster!

Can't be. 3 tenths is a lot for any exhaust change. I might have dropped 3 tenths by going from all stock to longtubes, ORY and a cutout. Maybe. I wouldn't think that going with something more restrictive would help at all. Go to www.dragtimes.com to look up weather conditions in a particular area on a particular day and time and then use the DA calculator.
