Best muffler for a Bird? Anyone know what the best sounding Muffler is for a Firebird? I like alot of noise but I still want to retain that "firebird" sound (Is it me or does the Camaro and the Firebird sound different). I was thinking about the Hooker Aero Chambers. I've always liked their headers I just dont know what their muffler sounds like. Has anyone ever heard one/used one?
Ive heard good things about the loud mouth but their also 20 dollars more. Its just going to be a DD so I dont need to spend alot, just enough so that Im happy with the way the car sounds. Only other mod is going to be a lid and of course Im getting it tuned.

I've got an Aerochamber on my third-gen TA and an SLP dual/dual on my LS1 Z28. Both with LT Headers and 3" mandrel bent pipes. The Aerochamber is a little louder, but I like the tone more (deeper, tougher). My Z28 is my daily driver so I like the fact that it's a bit quieter despite being slightly more raspy.
I did like the Aerochamber enough to put one on my F150.

Im looking at this one because of the recommendations
http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...661a4dd5bd05a5
Anyone know how this one sounds? Good? Bad? Rough or Smooth? I perfer Smooth and Muffled out of the firebird...matches it's looks and Rough out of my Camaro. Hence the reason I have a cutout on it

Well 1st you may try installing the Corsa Premium Tailpipe muffler & Tailpipe set up. Real nice and looks legal.
Next install a GMMG Downpipe that end about 1 foot ahead of muffler intake pipes.
Drive and Enjoy!
Back off & just nurse the pedal when quietness is needed.
Get Stared at and thumbs up, especially if you're cammed up.
Hey, It's not your fault you just now lost a piece of your exhaust pipe on I-95 now is it?

Thanks for the advice but this is a daily driver Im not putting alot of work or parts into this car. Its going to get a solid muffler and a lid. Thats all. Im not looking for something all out otherwise Id just get a cutout, I want a smooth, decently loud, muffler. But mostly I want to retain that sound in the firebird commercials

It might see the track once a year just to have some fun but its not going to get beat on. Im not going to put a lot of money into a car thats only going to see the track once a year.
