Default What muffler to get

Ive got a 2000 m6 camaro with an ls6 cam and some other little things.
Dynatech headers and magnaflow high flow cats.
With a stock muffler though.

Any good mufflers you guys reccomend?

Ive been leaning towards a magnaflow muffler.

It really just depend on the sound level and amount of rasp you can tolerate. Use http://ls1sounds.com to find clips more specific to your application.

I had the Borla Cat Back Exhaust kit #140028 installed after which I had the Cats removed and installed Kooks Headers. I do not have any pics of the installation. The cost of the Borla system was $773.00 which is expensive but the sound is priceless after the installation of the Kooks headers. I have video of the car running but I technically challenged and do not know how to post the video.

I have kooks headers, ory with cutout and a flowmaster out back and I want to change the flowmaster to a borla xr1 muffler b/c has almost the same setup as me and his sounds good. If you figure it out post it up

I believe that the video is too long to attach. I am out of town for the week-end but will attempt to send the video next week.

If you're not getting catback, just replacing the stock muffler while keeping the stock piping, Hooker makes an Aerochamber that's a direct replacement for the stock muffer. It will certainly flow a lot better than the stock unit!
