trying to choose a muffler for my setup, opinions please!
hey there, been researching mufflers, sounds, flow etc....looked and listened to alot of the sound clips on here. just need some first hand opinions if you dont mind...
right now i have slp long tube headers, ory pipe with NO cats, with a flow master muffler and 'megs" tips dual tips (oh and its cammed "ms4")........sounds good, but everyone is telling me the flow master is killing me on power!!!!
so if that is true what would you put in its place, muffler only? im keeping the rest of the set-up. i am hearing if i go with a borla, magnaflow, something like that i can get some more power out of the car? i dont want the sound to change much, i dont want screaming loud at idle but i dont want put you to sleep sound either, lol........
thanks in advance

thats just it, i dont know what muffler it is, the length of the box is 15", cant even find one that short on the web with a single in, dual out, lol.......it might be a good one, i love the sound thats for sure....but if i can pick up more power for $100 im all for it!!!!
magnaflow does seem quiet, but i am not stock, the cam and headers should make for a pretty good sound......i dont really know, thats why i am asking for personal opinions on this, i live in a small town with no cars around to hear
thanks

How loud do you NOT want it? I've got a similar setup, but with the TSP Rumbler Cat back with the Dynomax 18" bullet muffler and the drone on the HW @ 65 is bad. SLP LT's with ORY.
I mean, the exhaust sounds good, but gets VERY loud when you open it up. My buddy's got a hooker CB CME on his 02 SLP SS and it sounds nice. He's also got Flowtech LT's, ORY on his. Not too loud on the HW, but just enough to hear it. The hooker Aerochamber is supposed to be one of the best flowing mufflers out there.
Hope that helps.. The only good vid I have I'm "Technically" not supposed to promote (Google ads contract) Search for MS4 on youtube. It's an SOM.

Why not go true duals? With the setup you have, you would get the best sound and performance out running of true duals. If there is a local shop that is worth a ****, take it there, tell them what you want and get a quote. I bet your car would sound mean as hell with true duals. Plus, then you could get rid of that current flowmaster muffler and get a set of single chambers. They sound awesome and can support 1,000 horse power.
