Default Quietest Loudmouth Direct Replacement?

I'm installing headers and an ORY wednesday and right now I have an LM1 on the car and I know that it will be wayyyyy too loud after the install. So what's a good replacement that is just as quiet or more quiet than the LM1 with stock manifolds and cats? I know that the is the borla xr-1 and a magnaflow (don't know which one). I'm planning on putting a high flow cat at the end of the ypipe but I'm still deciding if I want to do that.

Keep the LM1 setup and add a Hooker MaxFlow muffler after the axle, mine is like stock quiet with LTs/ORY.


I imagine a magnaflow bullet would be pretty quiet.

Do not buy a dynomax bullet, still super loud and raspy with an ORY

Just put on the Magnaflow 2 weeks ago. Def. got quieter which what I was going for and still sounds good.

Magnaflow 14419 is the part number you want. Got mine for $68 shipped through Amazon.

Cost me $25 from mufflerman to be welded on. They had to cut some of the piping to fit the magnaflow bullet.

my z28 is rolling with the LM2, lts ory and a large cam. I like it and it gets compliments. however the car is a show/race car nothing more.

if your looking for a good sound and quiter..
i prefer the hooker aerochamber over magnaflow. in my area too many people have magnaflow so the cars all sound the same.
