I have the LTH's w/ cbe with no resonators. I personally love the very aggressive sound and in my opinion it only gets loud when you step on it (Then again I might've gotten so use to it since I drive it everyday) The only thing that bothered me like hell in the beginning was the infamous VQ hiss sound. Once I found out it was normal I just got use to it. If I could go back I would've made the same choice.
