Default Recommend me a new muffler!

Hello all. Currently I have long tubes going to a 3" Y, to a SLP LM2 catback and CME tips. It sounds really raspy at full throttle, like a harley and I hate it. What would be a good replacement for the LM2? I'm looking for a bullet style that I could easily swap. Tone wise I want something a lot deeper. Thanks

My friend has GMMG with his CME. I usually hate GMMG but it sounds awesome

I also agree on the race magnaflow.

Setup im lookin at is pacesetter long tube race headers into a 4" mufflex y and a single 4" in and out of the magnaflow race muffler. Sounds mean as f*** and it makes numbers on dyno and track. And if you ever decide to do a turbo you wont have to change the setup

Borla is good had it on mmy 95 z28 with a set of hooker long tubes. I liked it but i think youll find it has some of the rasp youre trying to get away from in your current setup

Not sure how the LM2 is raspy. I ran the LM2 catback for awhile. Ended up buying another LM2 muffler and an Xpipe and making a true dual LM2 setup. I love it! LM2s sound great.
