Default cutout or LM resonator loudest?

i have a cut out, but it seems to make more noise in the cab than it does outside. it dosent bother me too much, but the girlfriend hates it i was thinkin about getting a LM resonator to put in place of the factory muffler. theres not much experience with loudmouth over at performancetruck so i figure you guys are the ones to ask.

will the loudmouth be louder than the cutout?

how will it sound....deeper/raspier?

thanks for the help

Well, the exhaust will be going out the back, that always helps. The LM resonator is nothing but a hollow tube, BTW.

Running it out the back will help. Its still going to be pretty loud though.

rumbler gets my vote...just as loud as the LM plus it is deeper and cause the LM is just loud and REALLY HIGH pitched...id call up texas speed and performance and get a bullet muffler from their rumbler system
