LM resonator ??
what does the resonator on the loudmouth do? is it another name for a muffler? i know the LM is loud so does the resonator quiet the exhaust or just change the sound quality?
i have a LM on my TA and am now putting in LT's pulling the cats and putting in the cat back i had on my other car. i would like this car to be quieter than the last car so i was thinking i could keap the straight pipe and resonator from the LM and weld in the flowmaster muffler and tips that came of the other car.

The resonator is exactly that...it resonates the sound. In other words, it does little to lessen the noise. However, it is not a bullet style muffler. The LMII does come with a bullet style muffler, which does contain some sound damping material (similar to the Borla XR-1).

With the lm2 it's a little hard to hear on your phone, but inside you can have a conversation. On the other hand I have headers and no cats, I decided to !stereo and add guage panel.
