Stainless Works Chambered vs SLP Powerflo vs Mufflex 4"

help me pick out my next exhaust.......i've had several different setups for my SS, but here lately the Stainless Works Chambered has caught my eye......i know that chambered mufflers have a smaller internal pipe, this is what led me to sale my TSP true duals with Sweet Thunders (since they necked down to 2.25 inside, and i had to go back to cats for emissions)......i regret that move since the Sweet Thunders sounded the best by far.....my question is what size is the internal pipe in the chambered mufflers that come with the SW catback.....the i-pipe muffler is 3.5 on the outside, the two rears are 3" outside diameter
if the SW is restrictive, then it's a toss up between the SLP Powerflo or the Mufflex 4" catback.......any rasp with the Mufflex setups?.......of the mufflers that they offer, which is the quietest?

I have the above on my TA. Here is a link to a sound clip on You tube.

Nice mellow tone while cruising, yet a lil raspy on accel and WOT. Tho, the TA is not stock cubes. Stock cubes may be quieter.

How much power are you making?
The tube going into our system is 3.5". It then splits into a few core chambers but we maintain a minimum of 3.5" inside those chambers.
Outlet is dual 3"
Give me a call and we can figure out options,

anyone ever have any troubles with the Mufflex system hitting or bumping anywhere on a lowered car?......what about the 4", that's a huge pipe going over the axle.....does the rear differential ever make contact?......my SS is lowered 1.5" all the way around

BTW, when I full deflate my rear airsprings I still have about 1/16" clearance from the axle tube to the over-axle pipe.

I have had two exhaust systems on Kooks true duals and a magnaflow catback. If i were to do another y pipe setup i would do a custom y or something with a flow master merge 3 going to 4 inch then any catback outback that would support a 4 inch inlet going to the rear bumper. For a muffler i would suggest a straight through design as they support the most free flow you will get with a muffler.

I had the 4" Mufflex system on my '94 Formula, installed by them in their NJ shop. Worst system ever, it hit everything. Horrible install. Lesson learned.
A 4" system is NOT needed. A 3" system should suffice most cars, 3.5" is nice AND IT FITS AND CLEARS.
Go with Stainless Works or Magnaflow.

The powerflo sounds decent but imo its over priced,but ya can get a lm1,2 for under 200,but i think ya would be better off if ya wanted to go that route just doing a magnamouth,borlamouth, the sweetthunders may kneck down but you were not losing any performance with your duals,now a single sweetthunder with a y pipe setup could be restrictive,honest bud i have had alot of catbacks,my 2 fav were gmmg n borla, but tsp duals with sweettunders owns them all imo,i would have just added high flow cats and ran the duals to the rear

i actually ordered a couple of Magnaflow cats from Summit last year.......after raising the car and looking at it, i was just afraid of messing up my true dual system, especially with my crappy welding skills.....i have gotten a little bit better since then and i might buy another true dual kit, but this time i think i would just get the Summit X-pipe kit and build it all myself.....Sweet Thunder is now making a muffler that only necks down to 2.75" inside, i might just grab a couple of those and get crazy with the welder.

I had the TSP true dual with sweet thunders, was good for a while but too quiet at idle for me. Plenty loud at wot btw. I ditched the sweet thunders and put on 3" 1 chamber race flowmasters. LOVE the sound now, and I'm sure it will sound even meaner once I ever get H/C combo put in. But ground clearance SUCKS!

Formulaon,once you put the h/c put on your going to wish ya kept the st,im serious i have had so many bullets,mufflers,catbalcs etc and the tone from st are just killer,mine is just very loud,im thinking of adding 2 more sweettunders before the cme, i hope with adding 2 more/combined with the cme it will tone it down just a bit ( mainly kill some of the cabin drone) and pick up a lil more tone
