That is what I was planning on running. I hope it isn't that bad. But then again maybe the wife won't want to drive it if it is.

Magnaflow Oval mufflers are most baller, and SS too.

Not too expensive either, check summit.

Hooker aerochamber is nice and quiet, and flows very well. My buddies LS1 car dynoed 2rw more with the cutout open vs. closed with an Aerochamber (cutout mounted on pipe leading into muffler).

dynomaxes are the loudest bullets you could get from what i hear. try a moroso spiralflow if you want to.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.. were going to have to see. when i get a chance i will post up a clip.. My turndowns are kinda at an angle not straight down. aimed away from the car. but when i started it, it was in a parking sport next to two other cars so... maybe a little echoing? Even though they are still loud as ****, but they sound awsome!

I didn't think cruising around with the bullet muffler is too bad, but maybe because you are dumped it will be loud.

I'de try moroso spiral flows, mine run out the back isn't bad at all inside the car, but they are definatly quieter than dynomax bullets. Or you could also try switching to the 18" bulletts and see if that helps. Or just run the exhaust out the back under the axle.

I ran dumped bullets for a while but then got tired of not being able to hear myself think and that my radio and talking to people in shotgun was completely worthless. So I had them ran over the axle, such an amazing difference and so much less drone.

If it's resonating ditch the turndowns. My exhaust just ends at the bullets and goes straight. Turndowns made it drone like hell.
