Default i need new mufflers

Im trying to find a good sounding muffler that is deep and mellow,would still complement my cam,with out any anoying interior sound,and when you get it on it is not raspy,but when sitting still it still makes people look.Right now i have pacesetter LTs ran into 2.5 custom pipeing no cats with no x or h pipe(true duals) that go into 12" bullet muffler.It sounds great at an idle.But when you get on it it sound like one of my farm trucks.Also the interior noise is killing me.I plan on keeping the bullet muffler to act like resonators there in the middle of the car.Also will a X pipe change the way my cam sounds since it blends the exhuast note?Thanks guys i really apreciate it!

So i checked out the sweet thunders.The 18" are sound like what i got now.Im guessing since i dont want my car to sound like one of my farm trucks i should get the 24" or even the 30"?And would an X pipe help or would it mellow out my cam sound?

I vote to go with an X crossover and a fullsize muffler, or 2 rather. Something like a hooker aerochamber.

Do you have LTs?I have looked at the hooker areo chambers.From what i have read there really good mufflers.But i really like the way the sweet thunders sound.I guess im going for the exotic sound.But at idle i still want people to look and hear my cam.

I looked at a video of a GTO on youtube with 2 18" catlesss mids and kooks LTs and it was pretty loud.Then a agine i also heard a WS6 with same setup and it sounded really nice.Does anyone have a good video of there sweet thunders with LTs and a cam?

Could you fit a bigger muffler under there? Like a Dynatech split flow? I really like the way mine sounds but mine is at the end of a custom y-pipe. Sure it would sound great on duals. with 3" piping

I helped my buddy put an X-Pipe in place of his resonator on his GTO, and it made one hell of a difference. Even with no mufflers, it sounded way better, but still was raspy. After that, he put on some Spintech mufflers near the tips, it sounds pretty good, but I would have preferred some Sweet Thunder mufflers in there somewhere. I'm gonna drop my Y-pipe and cutout for an X-pipe and some Sweet Thunders soon..

Put an X-pipe on it and leave the bullets and I would be willing to bet it tones it down and cleans up the rasp.
