LM resonator ??
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.

Truthfully man, i have no friggin clue what that thing does, i cut mine out of he whole setup and welded my cut-out in is place!! it is really just a bigger piece of pipe, definaly not a muffler!
I couldnt stand the sound when I had it with LT's and ORY. I only had it like that for a couple of days till I went and did something worse....got a flowmaster.....But yeah, it doesnt really do anything.

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).

When you buy the LMII, you have the option to choose from two different muffler types - the resonator or the bullet style. You can also choose a third type, the powerflo, for some extra loot.

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.
