Default Which muffler should i get?

Im about to get sum american racing stainless steel race headers and there ORY and was wondering wht muffler yall like. right now i have stock manifolds and y pipe into a LM1 dumped. And ive had alot of people say that it will be nasty loud to run that with headers with and ORY. Ill probally keep it dumped but want to know sum ideas on mufflers. Ive been considering the borla XR1. Would it sould good with a Ory and dumped. I want it loud but not so nasty. I also might get a cut out but havent decide yet. I also thought bout staying stainless since the rest of the system is. Give me all ur opinions except for the ones who are goin to say do a search cuz i already did. I dont want a hooker or flowmaster. I want a good muscle car sound. I dont mind a little rasp just not to much.

Go with GMMG! It sounds wicked and I've been told on a dyno that muffler only produces one Hp less than cut outs! Thats what I have on my 01 SOM ws6 Convertible!

Aren't you the bastard that got those free headers?!? Jus' kiddin' man.

People have different tastes and like different sounds. Some like, loud. Others, quiet. Exotic, or muscular. You jus' stated that you like a muscular sound so I wouldn't go with bullets. GMMG sounds nice but is a tad' expensive IMO. Borla is a no-no because it has a more refined, "exotic" sound to it. Flowmaster is a no-no too because it holds alot of power. So here's what I would recommend:

GMMG
H-pipe with Single-Chambered Flowmasters

I wouldn't recommend the following:
Magnaflow (Too quiet for my tastes)
SLP Loudmouth (Total crap, sound and quality)
Hooker (Flows great but sound isn't there)
Borla (Too refined)

Other than that, look for locals with different setups and check those out in person.

People have their opinions on what "stupid loud" means also. Before rushing into something, research bro. Listen to other setups IN PERSON. I don't understand how someone can listen to LS1Sounds.com and make a decision. They all sound alike to me.
