Default what muffler for LM ?

Hey guys,

might be picking up a used LM1, but since I have a cam and headers, I'm not looking for the rasp.

I already have the dump truck idle with the open cutout.... so what muffler options do I have ? Something with the least amount of fabrication would be a plus.

but all suggestions welcome.

thanks

I'd say go with the xr-1. I have it but don't have it in yet. Detoxx has some clips and it sounds nice as hell.

any way to incorporate a single chambered flowmaster ???

does it matter where in the exhaust the muffler goes in terms of affecting sound ?

detoxxx, i listened to your clips, sounds sweet....

Sweet Thunder Chambered Muffler, sounded real good on my true duals. Just wasn't loud enough for me.

if you guys check out my most recent post in the true duals thread....
3" i pipe, up over the axle into the split for the LM, then mount single chambers on both sides vertically and attach tips to mufflers......

does this make sense ???
