Hooker LTs, no cats...Borla XR1? Help me pick a muffler! Just like the title says... I have a H/C/N setup with Hooker LTs, no cats, and a DynoMax bullet where the SLP LM "resonator" was. It sounds great at WOT and idle, but everywhere else doesn't do it for me... Any ideas?

Hmmm. I have both the Summit and Jeg's catalogs right here...no "Spiral Flow" or "Moroso". There is a nice looking Dynatech muffler that seems to be a XR-1 clone for $40 less...anybody use one? Thanks for the help! Ben

That is a good deal! Will the XR-1 quiet my ride down noticeably over the 12-inch DynoMax bullet, and more importantly, cut down the rasp? Thanks for all your guys help and I will prolly get the XR-1 anyway. Ben

Actually, the DynoMax bullet I currently have does squat for rasp. That's the main reason it's going in the garbage. I'm hoping the XR-1 will be enough...I'll sacrifice a couple HP for a decent sound. Thanks Tim!

Unfortunately, with just the bullet and no real muffler (like the loudmouth setup), you still get quite a bit of rasp. The XR-1 sounds a ton better in the LM setup then a bullet, and there should be no noticeable HP loss from switching mufflers. Both of them are straight through.
