I agree, the Loudmouth is virtually a cut out already LOL.
And yes, a cut out in the 'I' pipe is very popular.

Default LM with cutouts in I pipe

Hey guys, about the cutout in the I pipe with a LM resonator... I heard that if you put the cutout right after the resonator before the pipes twist and bend over the axle it will eliminate some rasp and give it a more deep sound. Anyone disagree or have any comments? im planning on putting on in that spot and gettin new headers and y pipe.

Thanks for the pics, but do you or anyone else have any info on the sound and if what I heard about putting a cutout after the Resonator is true? Thanks for your help.
