Default I need your opinion please ...

I want to quite down the LM. If I get the dynomax bullet, how much would it kill the rasp, drone, rattling, and how much more quite would it make it ?

THanks so much for the help

Quiet it down? Why? I hope you realize that you'll get several different opinions here. There are several different LM topics on this message board right now....most of them have like 25-30 replies. Do what you thinks best, but I personally think the LM sounds awesome. I just dynoed my car tonight with the LM on it, and I almost needed ear plugs when the car was up to 155+ MPH

Right now, all I care about is getting rid of the drone and ratling. I guess I can get used to the sounds. But do you guys think this would fit in place of the resonator ?

"Significantly reduces dB levels on high performance vehicles"

so I don't think it's the same exact thing I have now.

WS6 Beast,
I don't think you can quiet down the LM.You are going to have to change your exhaust system in order to quiet it down.I can't recommend one for you.I would use the search function,that's how I ended up with the LM.I wanted LOUD and I got it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I'm running an 18" Dynomax bullet in place of my resonator. It helps a little, gets rid of the rasp, but not all of the drone and rattles associated with it. It is not much different from your resonator and is only a small change.

I am also sick of the drone and am currently working on a custom (GMMG style) muffler to replace the Bullet. I am looking for something deep and throaty and will post my results when the muffler gets here.

BlackHawk,
Thanks for the info on the dynomax.I was considering swapping out the resonator,however,I don't think it's worth the trouble.

Thank god this is not my daily driver or the LM would have to go.
