Default True dual mufflers

I am about to go with true duals on the car in my sig. UPS has already delivered the 3.0'' x pipe and hangers. Been spending the past few days researching what mufflers I want to run but figured I would get some ideas from you guys.

So far I have come up with these setups:

Dynomax Race bullet 18'' case
Flowmaster Delta 10
Borla XR-1


Any other ideas? I do not mind drone as I have dealt with it before. This will be dumped at the axle for a few weeks then I will finish the tail pipes with the Corsa tips. I do hate rasp though so please stay away from raspy mufflers.

Thanks guys!

It's going to be hard to acheive rasp with a quality x no matter what muffler you run. If TSP TDs offered flowmaster super 10s...I would've bought them in a heartbeat..They do sound really good.

I do NOT want rasp. The 10 series do sound good.

When you guys say Borla, Are you refering to the XR-1 bullet?

There seems to be a lot of different Borla mufflers available, and I'm not sure what works with what or what sounds better. Just made a post in the TD stickied thread about it. I have the same "problem" about which to go with, lol.

I vote magnaflows they have such a smooth sound with duals and they give little to no rasp.

that is the clip that sold me on them, i have had so many people tell me how good my cars sound, yes a big cam with duals is going to sound good anyway but i think chambered mufflers are right at home with a ls engine

With your options, I wouldn't think twice about the super 10s.
You can't go wrong with sweet thunders either...

Sweet thunders do sound good on a ls1. I like the dynomax bullets too.

This is just ME, but I'd get 2 classic chambered's before sweet thunders. Only because they have a true 3" ID. I guess on duals it wouldn't really matter THAT much, but still. Why neck it down like that?
