Default Muffler after y-pipe with turndown...

Looking for suggestions on a muffler to run at the end of the y-pipe with a turndown before the axle.

At first I was gonna cheap out and use a dynomax bullet since I have one...But now I'm considering something nice like a Spintech(Super Pro Street 3" model) or a Borla XR1 oval muffler. Something that will sound nice with little to no rasp.

ive always heard the best muffler for a y pipe turndown is a flomaster single chamber or borla xr-1.

idk how a dynomax bullet would sound on just a y pipe?

Thats why I'm ditching the bullet muffler idea.

My mustang sounded awesome with two dumped single chamber flows. Will one on my y-pipe flow well enough? Otherwise I'll have to go with the XR1.

it wont be as loud as it would with the duals but i still think it would sound better than any other muffler with a single chamber off the y

Loudmouth sounds like garbage. That's the whole point.

I want a non-raspy setup.

I've got a one chamber tucked up in the hole under the rear seat and dumped right off the muffler. It does not sound like *** but i still have stock manifolds and cats. Has a very nice deep tone and it gets a lot of compliments

yep the lm1's sound like garbage, but the 2s might be a good alternative.

ive heard the single chamber on the end of the Y pipe and it sounds great.

I've got bullets on my CETA that are dumped right under the front seats. When I get back I'm switching to one chambers.

Should sound wicked
