You think oval would fit where resonator was or would i have to go round? 16" x 4 1/2" x 7 7/8 is the oval The round is only 5" so i know that will.

Ok so the lm1 was on backorder so i ended up gettting the xr1. Had it installed today and sounds really great. Has some drone on slow accel but highway cruise has none. Has a really low rumble and sounds smooth through whole rpm range. Cant wait til it gets broke in should sound even better. Sounds much better than the powersticks i was running. All i have is my phone to record so ill try to get someone with a nice cam and take some vids.

I ran the Impala with just the resonator + the cat for about a year. Had kind of a sloppy sound and droned badly at highway speeds. It was loud and sounded pretty good from the outside, though.

Mu current setup of catless DP + 3" into Spintechs is by for the best setup I've heard on one of these cars.
