Squirt water up the tail pipes each time you wash the car. Wetting the fiberlass increases the noise output.

that is one way of doing it. the packing will eventually blow out if you do it enough. takes awhile though.

You have options here. You could get the LM1 resonators, but that costs more $. You could also get an O/R X no cats. Or at least a X w/ high flow cats. LM1's are loud, but not at lower rpms. Really gotta be in it for them to scream. The midpipe can really get em going though. I would youtube LM2 with O/R and see what comes back.

you're right it won't triple the sound or anything but it does get a little louder.

Have you heard them from outside? LM2's are really quiet from in the car and they don't drone like the Flowstoppers do so that's why they may seem quieter. They should get a little louder after you put some miles on them too.

I have both the LMI's and LMII with full exhaust. The shorties didn't do much except smooth out the sound. LMI's with stock H is loud but with a o/r H it is loud all the fn time. I switched to my LMII's to quiet the car down but it still screams. LMI's are 3x as loud as LMII's easily. an o/r h or X really wakes up any exhuast though. LM's with full exhaust are the loudest set up by far at any speed imo.
