Default Which Exhaust?

Right now I have Hooker Headers and ory with a 3inch flowmaster muffler that has a bad baffle the Question is should I go with a TSP Rumbler dual or a Magnaflow? Mods are pretty much exhaust and a few susp upgrades nothing crazy. I want a nice growl and attention getter but not so loud i can't hear the radio anybody have some input?

I'd get some high flo cats and then go with GMMG....Just about anything you get is going to be raspy as hell without cats.

Any true dual arrangement is going to have MUCH less rasp. Also, if you put a flowmaster merge into the y pipe, it reduces rasp as well. Keeps the exhaust pulses from hitting eachother head on.

I just checked out ls1sounds and the TSP true dual X-pipe has the win my wife even liked it and she doesnt care that much. I bet it sounds even better in person. I may have to get some hi flo cats just for inspection though. The rasp is minimal on what I have now its just the fact that Flowmasters are not great on that car and its a hack job that I paid $400 for.

the magnaflow is good quality and sounding exhaust. its not very loud at all. sounds very good. but i have longtubes and ory and a cam and i want my car to still be a bit louder. i would suggest the TSP rumbler just because you might be disappointed that the magnaflow will sound quiet like stock even with longtubes.

I like the (HOOKER) my self. If you go with true duals thy are going te be pretty loud. So if you want one of those go with the magnaflow.

I'm happy with my MagnaFlow...alot of people have complemented it, but sometimes I wish it sounded a little louder. I honestly have never heard mine though other than at idle from outside the car. I think you'll be happy either way. TDs sound tough.

Thats why with magnaflow you get an electric cut out.

Only makes sense, and with it closed you can still start it up at 12 am without waking too many neighbors

This will be the setup I'm getting.

True duals will offer the best sound, and the best flow.
