Exclamation Which exhaust???

I have true duals with some single chamber's. I like the tone but it is not as loud as I would like. I had bullets before and it was a lot louder.

The way my exhaust is ran the only way I could get the mufflers on is behind the axle. I think that is whats killing the sound. I am thinking about putting the bullets back on in a differnt location before the axle. Here are the sound clips of the differnt mufflers.

Bullets

Single Chambers

What would yall do?

I agree that the muffler location is what's killing the sound. On my old LT1, I had my single chambers under the back seats, then moved them back to where yours are because of ground clearance, and it got quieter, and actually sounded worse. The only problem with yours is that it looks like your piping is over the axle, instead of under, so you couldn't do that with your single chambers. If you were able to move them under the axle, it'd be loud. I know my Trans Am is definately loud, and I've got single chambers with an H-pipe.

Thanks tspence45 your the first vid you posted with your single chambers is what made me decide on these. Even the same knock off flowmasters from ebay. Haha. The only problem is my pipes are not routed right for them to be under the seats. Also, the pipe's are under the axle.





I will try to get some better pic's tomorrow when it is not snowing.

I'm running true duals with Sweet Thunder chambered mufflers. It sounds great and it is pretty loud. I wouldn't change a thing about it. Don't have any sound clips of it yet though.

99zeeeeeee28 I have been thinking about some sweet thunder muffler's. How loud would you say it was???

I am going to get a quote from the shop to move the single chambers under the seat. I want it to sound just like tspence setup. The way it is now sounds no where close.

It's pretty loud. It'll rattle your chest when you start it up in the cold. It's definately a good loud though. Nice and smooth tone at WOT.

Here is a sound clip at idle and a rev. I couldn't hear Eric (friend who was recording) when he said to give it a couple of bumps lol.

Not the best quality - taken on an iPhone which couldn't handle the sound when I revved it. I can't imagine how loud it will be with a cam...
