muffler only - dynomax or LM1 hey im lookin to get just a muffler only weld in to increase the flow and make it sound way better. dont have near enough funds to do a full system as I'd like (true duals - ORX, bullets, etc) soooo my question is... which one should i get? I'm looking for a loud, mean sound but a nice tone too. leaning toward the LM but not sure yet. theres a lot of muscle around where I am (Oregon State University) with all the arabs driving every kind of expensive muscle you can think of and I want to show em up (at least in sound for now)

a summit x pipe 80 bucks
2 bullets 80 bucks
and have an awesome exhaust for 160 bucks...that is if u can do your own fab work (and it doesnt take much)
Just got my dynomax bullet in the mail....all I can say is wow. It is bigger than 3 inches inside and the holes for the sound to travel through are tiny. Without it on the car, I am almost betting it is louder than my SLP LM2
Here is an inside shot of a LM2 res....I would say near identical to my dynomax, which may be a little bigger as far as inside diameter.
Can't wait to get the dynomax on, I promise to post a review!
Here is a bullet res...again not much different.
*no need for the SLP LM1 resonator, that is just a piece of hollow pipe.

If this is the case, I would just go to a local muffler shop that sells magnaflow and have that welded in. It will sound good, especially since your stock.
If you want a budget catback alltogether, then I would recommend the TSP rumbler catback, sounds way better than the SLP LM2. After all, I believe it has a dynomax bullet muffler in the i-pipe.
Or theres always the dynomax race bullet catback. $311 from jegs. Very similar to the tsp rumbler. It has a slightly different path after the axel, but sound is the same.

I really disagree with everyone here, the LM2 sounds great, but after looking at these pictures ^^^ I am glad I went dynomax seeing how open and free flowing it is.
ALSO the bullet catback is 325 shipped from JEGS (where the rumbler was 250+62 shipping for me) and the bullet catback comes with tips, but it gets better. $75 rebate with a dynomax exhaust!! WOOOHOOO. Just bought my whole system for 250 shipped.

thanks for the input guys.. i am EXTREMELY limited on cash (like 300 is even too much) and i'm in college so no way to do my own fab work. i decided to just take it to an exhaust shop and have em chop off the stock muffler and weld in a pipe in its place with a Y to keep it dual out. and i'm getting corsa clone tips for it (the ovals are hideous) so gonna just be running straight pipes from the cats back
On a bone stock car a lm1 sounds great,that was the first mod I did,and later kicked my self for that one,after internals,and a ory it was way to loud,not that I mind loud but didn't have a good sound
Wow, I installed that dynomax race bullet setup tonight, different animal than the LM2!
More details later, but the dynomax is louder, much deeper and really resonates (I love loud). This setup may be intolerable on a LT/ORY setup, but it sounds fantastic otherwise. Very deep and loud

I would say drone and noise are similar to the lm2. It's deeper in a very deep and booming kind of way. Def recommend for a loud setup! Yea it drones, but these cars have great sound insulation, it's basically silent doing 80
down the highway. Damn tire noise is louder than the exhaust at 80
