i had a guy mount an original 40 single in single out on a 305tpi iroc i had and the tone was fantastic. it was too quiet for my taste though, i guess because all the rest of the exhaust was factory. hearing it go by sounded great though

im looking for tone, not loud. Loud just attracts unneeded attention. When a street car is stupid loud it doesn't mean it sounds good to me, the tone makes the car sound good.

I like the way your car sounds in the videos, I think im going to put one on as soon as I can.

You can adjust the tailpipe so its hidden for a no tailpipe look.
That's the same system I had on my Car previously. It's a nice setup all 3" aluminized mandrel bent tubing with a 40 series 2 chamber muffler, Cost was around $260. If you wanted to tuck up the tailpipe you would need to cut it down and have it bent towards the ground.
My Mufflex setup uses a 2 chamber deltaflow muffler. It still has that characteristic deep tone that Flows have always had. And as far as the single out look well since the tailpipe is tucked up you really don't see anything and IMO it gives the car a cleaner appearence. Besides that single traditionaly placed muffler sytems with a single outlet are more efficient.
