Default Most quiet true dual mufflers?

I just had my 3" true duals w X-Pipe and Sweet Thunder chambered mufflers fitted up to my Longtubes and it sounds incredible....BUT...I think my neighbors want to see me thrown in jail and there is NO way to keep it quiet on a 3600 stall. So what would be the quietest 3" performance mufflers? The round Magnaflows?...I know flowmasters would drone, but what about the roar?..

i would say the round magnaflows, the XR-1's are pretty loud....any true dual set-up is going to be loud IMO but magnaflow seems to muffle the best

The tamest I've heard are the Magnaflows. That's why I DIDN'Tget them, but it sounds like you have a different needs.

I have the oval magnaflows w/ a 3" catless X (and LT headers), dumped. It's pretty quiet until you stand on it.

^ I agree with him, but if you want to stay on good terms with the neighbors i would opt for cats with magnaflow 4x9s.

My dad was talking to my neighbors, and they told him i was their alarm clock. My friend also told me the same thing, and he lives 3 houses down from me. He told me he also got late to work one day because since i didn't go to work that day from being sick, my car wasn't there to wake his *** up when he needed to. Just see it as providing a serivce to the community.

Oh trust me...99% of me says **** the neigbors. But I do understand in my case..I come home at 1am or so from work. Maybe I'll just tell them if they want it quieter to start a fund to buy me mufflers...

I have the round magnaflows on mine #14419 and they're a whole lot more tolerable than the loudmouth with the y-pipe was. If they neighbors don't like it they can move or get used to it IMO.

I just switched my SLP LT's/ORY out for a set of new Pacesetter LT's/ORY, and didn't have enough wiggle room to get my mid-pipe back into the cat-back so temporarily instead of curving up over the axle into the cat-back, it curves out the side by the passenger rear tire. Last night and tonight I'm parking down the street so my neighbors won't hate me, lol. I leave at 5AM for work.

I see alot of one chamber setups...wouldnt 2 chambers have the same ground clearance?..They are both 4" cases in a 3" in/out...and if those fit...what are the measurments on Hooker Aerochambers?...I have contemplated the Thrush 2 Chambers. Jegs has em for about $30 each. That is CHEAP
