Default Best sounding _____ Mouth.

Rode in a car with the Loudmouth like I have and LTs ORY, and I agree its a bit much. So now my Q is, witch is the best route? Dont wanna toss all that stainless pipe, so witch muffler sounds the best in place of the LM Resonator on an LT ORY LT1 car? (B4 someone says it....I know "best" sound is VERY subjective), but if someone thinks a particular muff sounds like **** I wanna know. I know of Dyno, Borla, Magna, mouths, are there anymore?...I dont wanna lose much flow. I still want it to sound angry as hell, just not deafening.

I had a SLP LM and sold it, wish I would have keptit, Borla is way to heavy. A bullet would tame the rasp, but probably not quiet it down. Wonder how one would sound with a stainless steel works chambered muffler in there? Might sound really good, thats what GMMGs prety much are.

Yea, Im at the point that I know the LM with LTs and ORY will be crazy loud, but I like how the LM cat back pipe is setup, and merges to two at the axle, I just want to slip something in there maybe to give it a little more refined sound. Maybe a Magnaflow Round Muffler, or a Borla XR1, whats the scoop on Hushpowers?

The Xr1s are kick *** mufflers, they have such a defined tone and they are SS. Im also biased (I have Xr1s on my collectors) but they are very well made mufflers.

My Borla is wide open and honestly it isnt all that loud unless your on it, driving around it isnt bad at all.
