Default good flowing muffler??

whats a good flowing muffler over the stock SLP dual/dual catback muffler?? I have a MS3 cam with Hooker long tubes and ORY and I feel like my stock muffler is restricting me on the big end but I dont need a complete new catback...I also have the factory Center Mount exhaust tips so Im keeping them...Im just looking for a great flowing replacement muffler...

what flows better? Magnaflow or Borla??

I liked the Magnaflow I had on my '99 Z28, fairly mellow on idle, but nice and loud when you get on it. No drone.

I had the LM1 on it, It was loud before the cam, and I could tolerate it...then after the cam it was just ridiculous to the point I would get a headache in 5 minutes of driving it...so I put my stock muffler back on.

I want a good sounding, free flowing exhaust.

I would sell the dual/dual and get a new catback and run it through the CME. Dual/dual is worth a pretty penny.

Can't go wrong with either Magnaflow or Borla but what about throwing a cut out in there?

When you say a pretty penny for a SLP dual/dual catback, how pretty of a penny are you talking about? I might think about selling mine maybe.

You may gain 2-3 hp by switching catbacks. The dual/dual is a very nice catback with no rasp. Stick with the muffler ya got. Put a cutout on if ya want more.

the dual dual is a pretty good flowing muffler, but i'm sure its worth more than 2-3hp to get something else.

If you want quietER than the LM1, get a magnaflow. open plate Borla will be as loud as LM1.

My personal favorite is Borla w/ an e-cutout in the plate side. quiet when you want, but loud when you want that, and not crappy loud, its a good sounding "clean" loud.
