everyone says LM 1/2 is too loud with headers... and then I hear people all the time saying magnaflow is too quiet... is there a cat-back(near the price range of LM and magnaflow) in between the two? I'm afraid LM will bet too loud for me, but I'm almost sure magnaflow will be too quiet....

Don't be afraid of the lm2. It sounds better and is a little quieter than the lm1. I get compliments all the time for my setup and being are shocked when I tell them it is a lm2 with lt's and a cam!

LM1 all the way. My car right now has just the LM1's and a lid and I think it sounds amazing. I say if you're keeping the rest of your exhaust stock go with the I's. Here's a video clip of mine with just the LM1's. Not the best clip, but you get the idea...

Short clip of me messing around at a cruise night. Pacesetters, ORY, LM1. Sounds good at WOT and idle, not so good while cruising at 2k on the highway.
