New idea to quiet down an LM2

I have a Loudmouth 2 on the way, but I am just finishing up a h/c install, and I want to make this pretty quiet, since I'm also installing a cutout. I am specifically looking at keeping the LM2 as a resonator, and tossing a pair of bullets at the tailpipes.

I was wondering if anyone has done this before, because I know about the borla/magna/etc mouth muffler swap, but I am trying to aim for a quiet and relatively drone-free cruise, instead of just loud and proud. Thank you!

Almost forgot, I also have long tubes and no cats. I'm not naive, I know it'll be loud regardless, but I'd like to be able to leave my neighborhood at 3 am every now and again.

You won't have room. The MagnaMouth is your best bet. Magnaflow part #14419

Yep the Magnafow 14419 fits perfectly. That's exactly what I did

There's no way I can fit any muffler in place of the tailpipes? I plan on using different tips, so would it be that impossible to fit a pair of 12" or 16" bullets in there?

SLP Power-Flow would be the only option, but in my opinion it looks funky from the rear. Any short bullet you put back there, like a vibrant, isn't really going to do anything. I'm telling you, that Magnaflow bullet is the bees knees. She makes enough bass to set off car alarms in the parking garage with a stock cam, but doesn't sound harsh or rasp.

See if this is any help for you... I did a bit more, but in my opinion it was well worth it.

Thank you. I'll look into it.
