It will be loud. I don't DD my car, and I have the LMII (woohoo resonator) so I like to have the loud exhaust. Definitely going to a different setup if I do headers.

I thought the LM2 had bullet muffler and LM1 had resonator.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Bullet, resonator... It's the same thing.
They are both interchangeable in the newer models.

Of course you say your going to like it... You already bought it..
I'm all about being Loud and proud my self. But that's not why I got rid of it... It just plain sounds like ****...

I think we all have to remember guys people buy exhaust for different reasons either they want it just loud as hell or they want want a good tone. I liked my car loud as hell when I had my LM1 but it didn't have a good tone (not to mention the rasp or drone) and didn't sound like a muscle car but now with my GMMG it sounds good has a great tone. I've also had a true dual system which was kinda raspy and drone a little but had problems with ground clearence that made me not like driving the car.

I have an LM2 on my car. STs with ORY. Love the sound of the LM2. Had both resonators at one point. LM1 was raspy and loud. I dd the car during the summer. Little to much so I went back to the LM2. There is some drone around 1500 to 2200 in my car. I find any way possible to run through that rpm range. People always turned to look. Love the way it sounds. If/when I do more modding and I cant handle how loud I already have the SLP powerflo sitting in wait if I need. Love it. It was way cheaper than the others I considered and fit well and was easy to put on. I had a flowmaster before. That was the worst sounding raspiest exhaust I have ever heard except at idle.

lets say i put this thing on on sunday, fire it up, and hate it by monday. how easy would it be to throw on a dynotech bullet or something simular with better sound? i know i can switch to the lm2 with ease but the bullet looks the same, so could that just bolt right up to it too?

im sure i wont get tired of it that fast BUT just in case, what cheap and easy options would i have? if any at all.

You're not gonna hate it! I don't know anyone who hated the sound of the LM1 with stock exhaust manifolds/cats/y-pipe

you won't hate the LM with stock manifolds and ypipe. I love mine. I have a clip somewhere I can send you when I got off work today when I had stock exhaust with LM. I had mine on for several years and loved it till the day I put my LT's and cam in. The catback comes in pieces and where the bullet resonator is it unbolts and you can bolt another one in its place.

Do you have any drone or rasp or alot of popping? I have stock manifolds with straight pipes welded in place of the converter and it was very loud and had rasp and drone.

not much diffrent then the old exhaust when im at idle. dosnt really sound any diffrent inside the car untill i hit 2000 and even then its not too loud. outside the car it is nice tho. had a friend rev it so i could hear it, 100 times better. the one i took out said "Ultra Flo" on the top of the muffler. dosnt dynomax make a muffler called ultra flo? it all looked like a stock muffler tho.
