Default who makes a good flowing muffler that i can slip on the colector thats quiet

putting the car back on the street, need a muffler i can slip on the header colector or with minimal extensions that flows halfway decent and dont sound like a top fuel, mine is hideously loud in track form and bullets do next to nothing to help that.

who know of a good one, how much we talkin, where do i get them

thanks guys

Not sure that any good flowing small muffler will really help much in reducing the db level. Borla make some header mufflers but I can't seem them making that much difference.

Magnaflow bullets seem to be reknown for being slightly quieter than other bullets maybe one of their 3" core 4 or 6" round mufflers would work?

hmm .. its well known in the community that SLP makes a muffler for the 2OTL catback and it is one of the quietest. They probobly have one that has a center/center inlet and outlet for ya. another one that quiets down the system but sounds damn good is flowmaster. not the 80 series that all ls1 owners are aware of, but the ones made to not be LOUD, but just mellow and still sound good. wish u luck though tryin to quiet it down a hell of a lot heh.

im doin just the opposite, throwin on shorty's, ory, to a single center/center muffler thats known for being the loudest just as a catback :-) :-)

i think some moroso spiral flows would sound killer, flow pretty well, and are the exact same size as a bullet. i am kinda bias though. i do know that mine is one of the only LS1's that is not raspy at all

I second the spiral flows. Them suckers sound very refined to be a bullet style muffler. You will be surprised at how quiet they are compared to a bullet.

BTW, why is the T/A going back on the street?

I am not gonna tell you again Dick, go with the Flo-Pro Twisters like me. I had them on my old duals and loved them. Now I am running them off of my Edelbrock LTs with turndowns. I will get a sound clip when I can.

The twister's are bad ***. I have a T-rex with duals & twister mufflers and I love it. Deep at idle and loud when you get on it.

I have 3' Edelbrock SDT's. They sound sweet and really did quiet the car down a lot.

Here are pics of how I did mine. It is Edelbrock 1 3/4" stepped to 1 7/8" headers with 3.5" collectors, Hooker 3.5"-3" reducers, 3"in/3"out Flo-Pro Twister mufflers, then Flowmaster 3" turndowns.

Bullets are loud and ghey. I hated them. They sounded like tuned open headers.

I suggest doing Borla XR1's like I suggested in the admin thread. Of all the duals I ever ran, those were the quietest.
