Default Bolt in replacement for LM 1

I'm looking for a replacement for my LM 1 resonator. I would like to find something that will bolt right in without cutting or welding. I don't mind it being loud, I'm just looking for something with a different tone.

A friend let me try his LM 2 resonator and it sounded very similar, just a little quieter. I'd like to have something that will make it sound different.

The LM 1 is 18 1/4" overall length and I've found a few that are close, around 20 inches but not sure if that would be too long. So far, haven't found anything else listed at 18 1/4" overall length to bolt right in (besides the LM 2).

i just bolted a magnaflow in place of my LM1.

It sounds alot better.

Still has some rasp at WOT.

Hopefully it will get better as it breaks in.

Gonna save for a flowmaster catback probably.
