still need a muffler for the TD setup
I'm ready to pull my hair out with my TD setup... Coming off a set of Kooks LT's, Cats, X pipe, out the back muffler...(and a 228 112LSA cam) M6
both pipes 2.5" going down the passenger side, and then going over the axle.
I"m looking at Magnaflow SS 4" round Racing series
Or
Magnaflow 4x9's
OR
Sweet Thunder Chambered
OR....
Dynamax bullets
I have to figure out what I have room for on top of what will sound good, and if I lose 3 hp but the car sounds good I DONT CARE about 3 hp...
Just trying to get a really nice, deep, clean sound with the car.
Suggestions?

Spintech's Pro Street mufflers are 4x6", and if turned on their side will fit up behind the bumper very nicely before going to a slight bend and a tip. Basically like the system that Speed Inc. offers. The best way would be to ditch the tips all together and just tuck the muffler as far up there as you can then turn it down. The bumper would conceal most if not all of it.

I have Magnaflow 4x9's and the more I drive my car the more I love them and so does everyone else that hears it.
Quiet at idle, very tame below 3000rpm but above 3k it screams. I couldn't ask for anything better.

I was just about set on the Magnaflow 4x9's, but I just did'nt like the way they looked from the back of the car,
THEN I saw the Race series side by side before the axle, and that was looking promising, untill I got told it sounded "raw and Undefined" with LT's...
I was looking into the Flowmaster 10 series, cause the Maroon T/A on LS1.sounds taking off is just awesome sounding, but he's going through shorties so I have no way of know if it would sound near as good with the LT issue, and the clip of it reving does'nt sound near us good as it does driving off.
I heard a Spintech clip on LS1.sounds, I dont remember the whole setup, I just remember NOT liking it at all... But in person it could be a completely different story
Sweet Thunders have been getting a lot of praise, I'm going to try and find a few clips of those...
WORST case scenario, I end up buying like four different mufflers before finding the one I like the best...
BEST case scenario I show up to the shop with the magical muffler OR they have a couple different ones I can pick from maybe...
Thanks for the help so far guys... Keep em coming!

The Magnaflow 4" round race style just lost some more ground... I'm told in order to get them to fit (where the I pipe is now) before the axle.
Not sure I want to take a hammer to my car... I'm really thinking about Sweet Thunders OR magnas 4x9's... but I need to find a better looking picture of them...
Thoughts on the Thunders or anyone got any rear shots with 4x9's after the axle?

I have the 14" Magnaflow Magnapacks (4" race muffler) on my car. They fit just fine dumping before the axle. They should tuck up real nice at the rear bumper also. They have a very deep sound and reduce the sound level much better than the bullets.
