Default What's a good muffler for 00 Z28?

Mine has a stock one and it sounds bad

I would like to get one with good low end power and a nice deep
sound not to loud

Thanks in advance

you wont gain much from a muffler. at least not anything noticeable. magnaflow makes good mufflers.

if you plan on LTs in the future I'd go with Magnaflow, pretty calm cruising on the interstate but screams at WOT

Listen to clips online and more importantly, in person if you can. Get whatever one you like. The flow differences are minimal on pretty much all aftermarket mufflers. I'm not a huge fan of the Flowmaster sound on LS1 engines, but thats me. I like the SLP LM1 and Hooker Aero with stock exhaust manifolds, if you have headers IMO Magnaflow and Borla sound awesome.

My camaro came with a borla system already on it, and it sounds great. But it's cost is kind of up there IMO. I'm a fan of magnaflow myself. Great sound that doesn't get annoying when your on a road trip.

I Just put a Borla adjustable cat back on my stock 98 trans am and love it, a real deep tone, sounds good at idle, its loud but not so loud its going to wake all your neighbors in the middle of the night, also doesn't have a drone when driving down the highway. Pricey but worth it!

More bang for your buck would be a set of Pacesetter LT's or BBK LT headers. With pacesetter headers and a texas speed ORY I have pretty good sound and more power. But I can still cruise on the highway or around town quietly and peacefully. When I get on the gas it almost sounds like my old LT1 with LT's, ORY, and a hooker catback....just not as loud.

Default Muffler

Hooker Aerochamber sounds good on my car. Hooker LTs with TSP catted y and 3 inch pipe to the muffler. Dual 2.5 inch outlets to CME.
