Default Which resonator has the best flow and sound?

Loudmouth, Dynomouth, Mangnamouth, or Borla XR1?
Which one is the loudest?
Which one is the quietest?
Which one has the best flow?
Which one has the least flow?
Which one's are stainless steel?
Is changing out the Loudmouth resonator for any listed above worth it? Note that the loudmouth is all stainless steel. If it worth it, remember that you need to have stainless steel wire for the weld, coat the resonator, and have to find all necessary specs to make everything work. Is it worth the money and the trouble? Is it gonna give me any extra gain for all the trouble?

Try doing a search. From what I found the Dynomax incerts are not Stainless and are a louder than the Borla (Loudmouth is the loudest). I could not get anyone to reply about the Magnaflow incert. You will not get any performance gain from adding this, but I think you will get a pretty good liveability gain <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

As you stated, the Loudmouth is the loudest..thats what I want. I figured that doing all that modification so that I could change out the resonator wasnt worth it. Thanks

from my understanding when i ordered my loudmouth they told me that no other catback would flow nearly as well. by putting on a different resonator you will lose flow, aka power

the dynomax bullet flows as much as the loudmouth resonator but is not as loud. and the same is true for the magnaflow and borla from my experience.
