If LM is only 3" pipes and resinator then...

If the Loud Mouth exhaust system is just 3" pipes with a resinator could I jsut get that resinator, or a better one, and put it inline with my exhaust since I already have a 3" exhaust from the SLP 2OTL.
I want to get the SLP center mount exhaust, but I want to keep the cost down since I already have the 3" pipes.
My car is stock so will it sound too raspy or popy?
I heard guys say that borla race mufler gives a better sound? would this be better hten the LM resinator?

Your 2OTL has a muffler. The resonator on the LM ACTS as the muffler. So essentially, you'd have 2 of them.

I mean I would remove the 2OTL muffler, and put the center moutn exhaust from SLP on.

There is no resonator on the LM.

It is a flanged and expanded piece of pipe meant to look like something that it is not.

I've seen one cut open.

true, but what it does is resonate the exhaust to give it a particular sound

To answer your question, yes you can do exactly what you mentioned. You'll have to remove the muffler, cut the intermediate pipe right after the axle, and split the exhaust there to run the SLP center outlet tips.
