Mufflex help please...
I've got it narrowed down to these two exhausts:
4" SpinTech Mufflex Single Out
4" SpinTech Mufflex Dual Out
I can't freakin decide and its driving me nuts. If I could actually hear both of them then it would solve the crisis for sure. At first I fell in love with the single out system because of its simplicity and the statement it makes. Not too loud (from what I have read anyway), and the sound is freakin awesome... unlike any F body exhaust made. Several times I have heard people say that they will only use this exhaust on their F bodys. Here is a short clip of a 3.5" Mufflex system http://youtube.com/watch?v=7lH5MXDv0W4
Everything was fine... until I heard this: http://s275.photobucket.com/albums/j...100_0608-1.flv I like this one mainly because of the unique Chevelle style tips, which I think compliment the Camaro bumper.
If you've heard them both, or have a strong opinion about one, please post up. I would love to get some more picures/videos of them. A year ago I did a lot of hard core searching and couldnt find a SINGLE freakin picture of the single exit system installed showing its tail pipe... now there are a few more.
BTW, I've already got a 4" Y pipe so that part is of no concern to me... and the flow stuff related to Spintech, not concerned. Totally a sound thing here. If in the future I feel like the exhaust is holding me back in my FI setup then sure, I'll throw a cutout in it. But my 3 year goal is a 600rwhp FI car.

Sounds freakin awesome! Once I get a Mufflex setup I plan on putting together a nice writeup on here so no one has to search all over the place for pics/videos. I've PMed several people today about Mufflex systems and I am waiting to hear back from them. I also posted in the FS section that I am interested in trading my Hooker catback for a Mufflex, or outright selling it for $200 plus shipping... but I've got to have some kinda catback first!
I think the Flowmaster setup would be a little too loud for my taste, but it does sound nasty!

I've had my Mufflex 3.5" Single out system on for a few weeks now.
Yes I'm Old School I have the Flowmaster 30 series Race Muffler and I love it.
Throaty Deep sound but still not as loud as a SLP LM.
Heres some pics just after the install
I've since had it apart a couple times making fine tune adjustments trying to eliminate some vibrations on the frame from the over the axle tube.

Damn dude thats a pretty sweet lookin lawn you got there
Nice pictures. Its crazy that three of yall have replied and each one of you has had a Flowmaster. I'm trying for the Spintech version, even though I know the Flowmaster should flow better.
Have any of yall heard in person the spintech?

I had the Spintech 4" dual out on my 85 for nearly a year. I never really cared for the sound that much, so I traded the rear section for a Flomaster 4" single out. The Flowmaster sounds MUCH better, and dropped a LOT of weight. That Spintech dual was HEAVY! No noticable power loss with the Flowmaster.
If you've got a Camaro, I wouldn't even consider a dual out exhaust. IMO it looks retarded no matter what tips you've got. Go with the single out

I'm glad you find my open exhaust to mufflex video helpful.
The 4 inch would be HUGE and hard to fit over the axel and even louder then the 3.5 inch.
Stick with the mufflex/spintech setup, you won't regret it.

On my old set-up I had a 4" spintech single in/single out, was a bit to raspy & not quite the sound I wanted.. I switched out to 4" single chamber & talk about mean sounding.. Very throaty & loud at wot.. At Idle it was super deep & had the flowmaster sound that you wouldn't expect to hear from a catback style exhaust, sounded more like my dual 40 series that I have now, only not as loud.. Here's a couple pics with the one chamber set-up.

Thats the first time that I have heard the spintech described as raspy. Everyone seems to love it. BTW, your exhaust has long been a favorite of mine. In fact, I saved pics of it in a word document, right beside TheBlurLS1's old TD writeup. Any sound clips of that 1 chamber setup?
