Default True duals w/ wat mufflers?

Stuck between Magnaflow, Sweet thunders, Moroso spiral flows, or dynomax bullets?
Which is deepest?
Which allows more flow.

Not sure about the other ones, but i ran spiral flows for a while and didnt like them. Sounded like straight pipes with no tone, but they did sound bad *** at wide open throttle. I would go with sweet thunders out of those, but im a flowmaster man at heart.

Sweet thunders or bullets, may not be deepest but they will flow best/sound best

Both sound great, if it were me they would be bullets though.. To each his own!

I have been doing a lot of research on this because I am in the same spot. Everything I have read and heard tells me that bullets or sweet thunder is the way to go, unless you want to spend some SERIOUS cash.

I have 18'' magnaflow bullets. First off I would definaltley continue your exhaust set up out the back bullets are to loud for me just under the axle. Now mine go under the axle and they sound great at 2500 rpm and up. The true tone doesn't come out until you get up there in the rpm's. For flow maganflows are 4 inch resonators with what looks like holes in the walls so as far as flow can't see any real restriction, I love reving the thing in tunnels. One last thing if you have an a4 while cruising at 65 to 70 the tone of the exhaust is a low base sound that kind of beats on the ears after a while( it was the base sound that was alot more prevalent before I continued the exhaust I set off car alarms when I wanted to)-then again I just gotten back from the track, anything from 55-60 and 70 up to 75 seems to be quiter( Another side note with the t-tops off and windows down the noise of the exhaust doesn't hurt the ears). All exhaust set-ups have there quirks I have the maganflows so I tried to tell you everything I can i'll try to upload a video of it good luck.

I have the bullets and I still think my car could be louder than it is.

I myself are stuck between Cherry bomb vortexs and spintech prostreets

here's the Vortexs. Not a lt1 but an LS2 but the best sounding one if heard.

I have Sweet Thunders, true duals/x-pipe, run over the axle. I like the sound at 4000+ rpms at WOT, but they have an annoying brap-brap at lower RPMs. I would have put Spintechs in, but you would have terrible ground clearance. They are big, boxy mufflers and in a true dual setup, either you have them before the axle hanging very low since they are too wide to tuck in nicely above the stock tunnel brace, or you put them after the axle along side the "live well" floor, which would look terrible IMO.

Spintech does offer some very low-profile mufflers meant for low riders and what not, that MAY work in a "before-the-axle" setup like mine, but they are pricey. They're like $140 a muffler. If I have my car long enough I will probably switch to Spintechs.

i have 3" summit bullet mufflers dumped at the axle, with an H-pipe. It's a nice deep rumble, with the best sound at about 1500 rpm
