Better is relative. LM1 is louder. LM2 is less raspy. It also depends what else you have done to the exhaust (headers/ ORY). I have the LM2 on a stock exhaust- sounds good at start-up, good at idle, good outside the car, but IMO it drones too much on the inside of the car ~2.5-3k rpm. esp at part throttle. But it may be perfectly acceptable to someone else. I might try changing the tips to see if that helps. (have the dual/dual tips).

this website can help a little in you deciding, but it still doesn't replace listening to them in person

lm2 has a better / more refined tone on stock manifolds and cats. LM1 sounds good at wot but is dumptruckish otherwise.
