Yes, a friend of mine had longtubes and an LM1..sounded like complete crap.

You could swap to the LM2 resonator, or to another bullet style muffler...

I always use Dynomax Bullet, it is my favorite and is only $53 shipped. Sweet Thunder is also a great one and I am considering switching to it because my friend just ordered one..it was $62 shipped.

No experience with the Moroso spiral flow.

Those will all be quieter and you could weld it in the place of your current LM1, or just have the muffler on the end of the y-pipe dumped (my preference.)
