Default Resonance Level LM1 vs. LM2 vs. My Flowmaster

My Flowmasters resonate like freakin mad! I am about to order my SLP's and I have been listening to all the videos of 1's vs. 2's but the point for me to get new exhaust is to get ride of the resonance.... The LM2 sound really good and I've been planning on them but after listening to all the videos, I think the LM1's would sound the best with my stage 3 cams.


For those of you that have LM1's or 2's, how bad is the resonance and in-car volume. I can't even talk on the phone while I'm in the cars right now, lol.

thanks,
me

well the 1's sound sick if u have headers, but they hav the worst resonace of the 3, 2's have a low humm to them. if its the everyday car IMO id get lm 2's but it if its not then lm 1's FTW. any video ive heard cant capture how truely loud the Lm 1's are in person

I have a catted x and LM1's. Inside noise is not bad by any means. If you have a Catted midpipe go with LM1. If O/R go LM2 (sounds amaizing). Id love to get LM2s but theyre so expensive right now

i have LM2's and im going to a mac cat back. LM2's and O/R H are just too loud for a daily driver

I have LM2, LT's and o/r H and it's loud and the drone on the highway is worse then flowmasters or mac mufflers.

This just makes me mad.... I've been looking forward to getting SLP for months. Then the moment I go to order them, I have a moment of stupid clarity and now my decisions flipped upside down and going the opposite direction.

The Flows drone like ***, the MagnaPoops sounds like an embarrassed Tyra Banks queef, Bassani sounds like canadian pennies thrown down a hallway and Borla are just to stupid expensive for a mediocre sound.

I've had LM1's and 2's, neither drone at all, that's with a catted midpipe though.

LOL open your exhaust up and you will hear the LM2's. It sounds good if you like exhaust sound and the radio does cover it. But WOT I can be heard for miles and the radio don't cover it.
