Default Camaro with flowmaster what to replace it with???

I have a 02 Camaro z28 6-speed with bbk headers, no cats, off road y, and a flowmaster catback. I feel it sounds ok but id like a louder, deeper exhaust tone and wouldnt mind picking up some power. I've been debating either a Spintech split camber 3" in and out. Or a Spintech 3" single cambered in place of the flowmaster dumped behind the bumper. Any suggestions on the best sounding set up with the most hp. Thanks in advance this is my first post.

You looked into blow through style mufflers like Borla, SLP, etc...?

It doesn't get much louder or deeper than chambered mufflers such as Flowmaster, unless you just want no muffler at all. If you have their complete catback, then the muffer used isn't their loudest or best flowing model. You could switch to the 10-series race muffler, but it's only a single in/out so you wouldn't have two tail pipes (Super 44-series wouldn't be a bad choice either.) It will flow much better than the crossflow style catback muffler, and be considerably louder/deeper at the same diameter. If you increase diameter further, it should deepen the tone more.

Magnaflow is definitely not louder or deeper, all else being equal, so that would be a bad choice given the goals.

I have a dynomax bullet and it works great for what my goals are. Very loud and I can always hear the cam lope even with the cutout closed.

Okay ill go with the single in/out then, should I go with a 3 inch dumped behind the rear driver side tire. my engine is still stock. I don't want it to be really loud just louder than the flowmaster with less retriction. anyone have a setup up like that. I can weld up whatever just trying to pick a muffler that wont drone and sound good at wot.

My setup is a little different, but I just put 3" true duals on my car with borla xr-1s dumped before the axle and it's perfect for me. Nice, deep tone at idle, no drone to speak of at cruise, and sounds mean when ur runnin WFO.
