Default Quietest 3" in/out

What is the quietest 3" in/out "bullet style" muffler that would fit well under the car in the I pipe location?

To me "bullet" automatically equals LOUD. I could be wrong, but the way I understand things "quiet bullet muffler" is an oxymoron.

Im looking for almost the same thing, quietest 3" muffler. I ended up with Flowmaster Big Block II (70 series) mufflers. I ran them on my old carbed V8 S-10 and they were very quiet.

Too bad you didn't have a corvette. The lgm big 3 is very tame at idle but gives away all its secrets when you get on it. Maybe they will do an Fbody version. I doubt it though. There were supposed to be f body lg pro longtubes and they never were released so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Well by bullet I simply mean "round" and not giant oval mufflers...

I been thinking about the XR1 but dont know how well it tones things down...

I just want a smooth reasonable note...

I just put a magnaflow bullet on my 99 camaro. It sounds good. It is a little loud when accelerating normally. Sounds really good at WOT. It is bearable cruising at 50 and below and not too much louder around 60-70.
