Need help, picking a muffler!

Hey I have Headers/ORYP and loudmouth (I havent installed the loudmouth yet due to sound and whatnot else...) Wondering what you guys suggest muffler wise and what they are going to cost me. Let me know!

most will say a dynomax bullet or the borla xr1 which are both great choices...i myself have always wondered how a sweetchamber muffler would sound in place of the I pipe and resonator. but what i saw one pic of a set of duals that i would be willing to bet would work witht he loudmouth. put magnaflow mufflers out the back, one before each tip, and leave the resonator in...i would think this would help eliminate rasp and it might sound pretty sweet and all you are doing is cuting right before the tips

I've tried a few different exhuast systems, and the best sounding yet IMO is no cats, dynomax bullets right off the headers, AND a single Borla XR1 in the I pipe. Absolutely no rasp, great tone, not too loud, not to quiet. I was measured at 94 db WOT at the track with this setup; 98 db with just the Borla XR1.

You can't go wrong with a Purple Hornies Glasspack!

Turbo mufflers are great! Low profile(oval) means good ground clearance,too. Quieter than "straight-thru" (glass packs), but still deep & rich-sounding. Cheap,too!
