My father-in-law has a single 3" Dynomax Racing Muffler, straight through. He has SLP LTs, big cam, and a cutout. When the cutout is shut, sounds like a bone stock car. It actually looks like a v-6 from the rear, b/c of the single non-chrome exhaust tip. You'd never know that it was a 10 second car. Kinda sneaky

Well, I'm going to do true duals dumped before the axle. It's a '98 LS1, LT, TR224, ORY no cats. I would like to use a bullet type muffler on each side due to space issues. So what do you think would be the quietest bullet style muffler? Thanks

I heard the dual/dual is the quietest because they came on SLP's versions of the fbody cars from the factory, therefore they had to be somewhat quiet compared to typical aftermarket exhausts.

random tech catbacks are full 3 in. and are quiet/ good sounding.. Just get some tips.. aluminized version is around 300-350, stainless around 600.. They also flow really well..

No, I don't have any sound clips, but I may see if I can get one. I am not talking about the dynomax bullet. Those things are really loud
. This is just the regular shaped muffler, just straight through. I forgot to say that he also does not have any cats on the car, just a given here in Oklahoma. I also have these dynomax's (3" dual) on my 69 chevelle. Just has a low deep rumble while cruising around. They will start screaming in the upper rpm range though. Nothing like the loud flowmasters I have on my Z.

a lot of you haven't heard a bone stock f-body in quite sometime, they are VERY, VERY quiet (especially for what they are). the setup you just described is about 30x louder than the stock setup.

Excuse the **** out of me 
Your right. I haven't heard a bone stock f-bod in a while. But I will try to get you a sound clip so you can hear it. I have some videos, but they are with the cutout open. Sorry for trying to make a comparison
