Default Need to quiet the car down.. Help me pick a catback

Aight, I have a SR 375 Iron block w/ 1 7/8th long tubes, 3" y merged into 4" back into 3" w/ a GMMG Chambered exhaust... The car is freakin' loud. I know the car will be loud by nature, but what exhaust could I run to quiet it down the most. >Not worried about performance as the catback comes off in favor of bullets for the track...


TIA for any help

If you're looking to be quiet, you can't go wrong with the slp dual/dual. Nice and quiet. I miss mine sometimes as I have loud annoying true duals now.

I say go with a Corsa system, I bet it would sound bad ***. It would be quiet and idle and sound great at WOT. This way you'd have a good setup for both the track and street. SLP Dual/Dual would be a lot quieter though... If you do buy another system, PM me with a price on your GMMG CatBack.

my vote goes to magnaflows. before my came the car was almost too quite at idle. it lets itself be known at WOT but its not obnoxious or anything. plus its cheap

I have a dual/dual here that came off the car before the motor sway. I think I will try that unless someone can tell me something else to go with.. I do not want loud at WOT as the car will be loud no matter what...


PM offers on the GMMG. I am not sure if I will sell it or not....

Could I just put a bullit muffler in the I pipe to quiet things down? That would let me keep the GMMG and save a lil money as well....

The bullet will tame it a bit. Don't expect it to get real quiet though. The dual/dual would be my choice.

I would recommend the hooker catback. Really quieted down my buddies 367ci, and they flow great.

Dual/Dual is the way to go.

Hooker is very quiet and clean sounding. Borla would let you adjust the sound level as desired.
