It generally helps to have something you are comparing to for a comparison to work.

Stock vs. stock + a cutout? Cutout.

I'm not sure that's what you were asking for, or were you just showing off your new cutout?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the LM1 would be louder.

I have heard both. The loudmouth 1 sounds louder because its piped out the back. Honestly though you really cant tell a difference, unless you really listen because both are so damn loud

It depends. If you already have a cut out I would just keep it and get some long tubes.

The tsp rumbler is about as loud as the lm2. The lm1 is louder.

I had a cutout at one time (QTP electric), and my only complaint was that I lost ground clearance with it and it would scrape from time to time driving around.

Both are very loud setups, so it's really up to your wallet.

The stock system is 2.75" vs the aftermarket 3" cat-back's. So there would be a small gain in upgrading the cat back alone. If you end up buying the loudmouth with long tubes you may want to look into some high flow cats. That setup with the off road pipes is just insane. I actually like it but alot of people cant handle the volume.

Ya LM1 isnt loud on stock manifolds. Once you add LT's and ORY it really doesnt get any louder.
