Default Bullet Mufflers?

What are some good flowing bullet mufflers? Or do they all seem to flow just about the same?

I was planning on going with the GMMG exhaust system but i cant drop the cash for it, atleast not now. So ive been thinking about going with some Bullet Mufflers on a custom setup, but not sure which ones. Not going with SLP Loudmouths, have the LM2 on my car now and had it on my totaled Z28. Its time for a change....

Looking around Jegs and came across the Pypes bullet mufflers. Anyone ever use these? Do they sound good? Or what are some good sounding bullets out there?

Dynomax Bullets and Moroso Spiral-Flows are both pretty popular and seem to flow well. Sweet Thunders, from what I recall reading, don't have a great flow rate but I haven't seen any dyno runs with just Sweet Thunders vs <insert bullet brand here> to show real-world differences.

Flowmaster single-chambers seem popular, too, and if you're going all the way out the back I don't think you'd have a problem fitting them where the stock big-enough-to-hide-a-dead-hooker muffler was.

I have 2 bullet mufflers from Summit. One mounted at the end of each collector. Sounds fine to me! But I do need to fab an X and 2 more single chamber or bullets to bolt onto them to drive around town. They are pretty loud, but sound like a race car.

I would recommend the Dynomax Bullets. They sound awesome and aren't too pricey from what I remember. I had them on a true dual setup I ran and got compliments all the time.

I agree with this guy, they are often overlooked because "cheap can't sound good" yet they really do.

May go with the Dynomax bullets then, found them cheaper on Jegs.com then ws6store.com. Havent checked Summit yet.

My thoughts are to keep my ORY, get a new custom exhaust from the I-Pipe back into a CME with these bullets placed before the 90% bends to the CME tip. Its no true dual system but you guys think its worth putting 2 in there for sound? Should be louder then 1 in the I-pipe right? If not, maybe ill try and get a custom true dual setup.

That looks like them to me. Gives a nice deep hollow tone, can't go wrong with them in my opinion.

LOL, yes they are. If you have handled them and seen the quality in build and performance you'd realize why.

Borla XR1 is good too and they have a bullet style. They aren't cheap either.

My exact setup, except I have a high flow cat on the end of the Y to eliminate rasp and gassy smell.

if you are doing this on the cheap, grab the cheapest y-pipe you can. maybe used or whatever(tsp y?). buy a flowmaster 3 inch to 4 inch merge and a 4" dynomax bullet. take it all to an exhaust shop and have them weld you up a y-pipe dump just before the axle on the right side. cheap, easy and flow about the same as TD's.

Im stock at the moment, went straight pipe true dual dumped with imitation flowmaster chamber 1 exhaust. I love em. In the near future when I go ahead and throw some headers on the car, I will switch it up. x pipe with moroso spiral flows dumped.
I think they are like 50 a peace plus shipping from either jegs or summit.
