Default Getting the most out of a cammed car (exhaust)

Just curious what mufflers sound best on cammed cars? Right now ive got magnaflow and I dont care for it to much. Are there any mufflers that really bring out the lope in a cam? I would think chambered mufflers, while hurting flow over something fiberglass packed like the magnaflow would probably produce a different sound. My magnaflow just sounds stuffy at certain rpm points. Ive got a 232/234, longtubes and an ORY. Ive got an slp dual/dual too, but im sure that would sound just like the magnaflow.

Also curious if anyone has gone from ORY -> catted or vice versa in a cam car and how the cats affected the sound. Im getting tired of smelling like fuel and other hydrocarbons every time I go out in my car, and passengers bitching lol.

Looks like you got a TSP T2 cam. I just got one too. I can tell you that a LM2 sounds like ***. I'm looking at a flowmaster true dual setup with 2 chambered Super 40s dumped before the axel. I hate the rasp and pop I have now. Yeah, I've got no cats and the fuel smell. I doesn't really bother me too much.

I have the hooker.. it sounds good. Catted-Y + open cutout makes me smile though.

sstowerman,

I would really have to disagree with the lm2 sounding like ***. It might be your opinion but I have it on my car and have gotten nothing but compliments.
