Why not just put a muffler on it like the LM2? The original Loudmouth sounds like crap anyway and that resonator actually messes up exhaust flow more than a true muffler would. Why waste so much time fighting a battle you won't win.

Oh man, these people are CLUELESS!!! You should have told him DB measures the SOUND levels, not the FLOW levels of a muffler. What an a$$hat. And if they can't provide the Db meter (as Jim said) then they have no grounds to fail you.
Bogus!!

because he can win.
the law in NJ has nothing to do with who thinks "it's too loud" just by listening to it. SEMA helped us get out from under that one. they need a db meter in order to test your exhaust, it's all spelled out in the statute, and the limit in NJ is 95. if you even think you are going to have a problem with your exhaust, go to the local law library and get a copy of the statute (because obviously one copied from the internet isn't going to fly, half of you don't even buy it) right from the state law book and take it with you.
you can't win a fight if you don't stand up. the more you let them walk all over you, the more they will.
