Default Another Duals Muffler Pick Thread

So I am tired of my rattly spiral flows. there is a broken baffle and it's driving me nuts so it's time for a new pair of muffs.

Setup: Pacesetter 1 3/4 long tubes, TSP 3" true duals dumped, in spring will have 233/239 cam installed(111 lsa).

So there are a million options out there for mufflers to put on here and hearing the right combo that matches mine on videos is near impossible. What I want to know is

What Muff delivers the deepest most aggressive tone? I am not concerned with overall loudness one way or the other. I have heard the sweet thunders in person and LOVED them, but hear a lot of people say they like the Flowmaster single chambers. What are you're takes on those?

Also as a reference point I don't like the sound of the tsp bullets. Just don't care for it...it's not clean enough for me. The spiral flow is ok...but a little to much rasp(I think) and not aggressive enough(volume is ok, tone needs more aggression)


What do you guys think I should get? Nothing crazy expensive

I want to match this sound as much as possible, but how much different will these muffs sound after my X pipe instead of the H in the video?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P035w6zpw1g

Sweet chambers will be more consistant throughout the band. FM 10's will be deeper, but more raw sounding. i will assume the car in the vid has FM 10's sinc it say's "single chambers".

I've got FM single chambers and get lots of compliments on how it sounds. Have several vids if you can't make up your mind.

Generally speaking an X-Pipe has a little higher pitch than a comparable H-pipe setup. I doubt you will notice it too much. It will probably sound very good.

I know you said you don't like the sound of the TSP bullets, but were you aware they changed the bullet's they use? I bet the one's you've listened to weren't the new one. I just put mine on and they sound awesome. I know they used to use Dynomax bullets, but that's not the case anymore.

Everyone I know runs the bullets, some have had them for a long time, some are new, so i'm sure I have heard them...it's just too straight pipe sounding for me. i like a clean aggressive tone not just savage mix of a bunch of different pitches. As of now I am leaning on the single chambers because of the video I posted, just depends on which I can find for cheaper I guess.

If there isn't much sound difference between x and h I will be extremely happy.

I will get flamed for this, but does anyone else think that the T/A in that video sounds a bit like a full exhaust 4.6 mustang? Just that hollow echo kinda growl...IDK I really like the sweet thunders too.

I ran one chambers for years before I put my GMMG on. I loved the sound at WOT. The drone at low RPM got old. So I decided to run a catback. I still run dumped one chambers on my 67 Camaro and I love them on it even at cruise speed.

one chambers on a friends car

What do you mean? Does it like not sound good at low rpm like driving around town? Just elaborate or maybe find a clip that encompasses what you're talking about

A single exhaust with a Flow 10 sounds awesome...I bet duals would be phenomenal.

Sweet Thunders are considered a single chamber right?

I love my FM 10s w/ x-pipe dumped. Deep, crisp & definately grabs attention when you lay into it. Plus, the sweet thunders have crimps in the tubes. Crimp= restriction.
