muffler question

What is one of the best sounding after axel mufflers?

They way I have my TD's ran the mufflers are after the axel.

I have dynomax bullet's on it now and I don't think it sounds good at all and it is not that loud. I want something louder.

Thanks!

Look into some Hooker Aerochambers. People seem to like those. If noise isn't an issue, i like the spintech sound.

Ice78Transam im not to fond of the aerochambers, ill have to look into the spintech.

SS4Luck I was thinking about the 1 chambers but I wish I could hear it on my car before I paid that much for those and end up not liking them. Would it hurt my engine running a straight pipe? I have a H-pipe also.

Straight pipes sound rough in my opinion, on almost any car.

there is a guy on here with an h pipe and single chamber flowmasters,
sounds great, he has a bored out motor which changes the displacement but the car sounds wicked.
there are plenty of single chamber flowmaster true dual clips to find, you wont be disappointed.

i ran my car straight piped for 8 months and never had a problem. I think straight pipes with an H would sound freaking mean

I am still debating over the 1 chambers or SLP LM1's. I want that loud aggresive sound. Thanks for all the help.

Ive always liked magnaflows, great sound and great build quality and they come in just about any size you need them.

now thats what im talking about. If I just cut the bullets off would it sound like the LM1's? It would be a cheaper alternative.

Instead of making another thread I will just ask on this one again. If I were to cut the bullets off my TD's would it sound similar to having slp loudmouth's in place of the bullets. Since my mufflers are behind the axel I didn't think it would make a big difference if I just had straight pipe? Thanks!
