The idle is just sick! But I have to say, when I heard that thing at WOT on the dyno, I was like OMFG! I never realized how ungodly loud it was at WOT outside the car. So, how's your driveability been with it untuned? Oh, and have you had any problem with the band clamps at the headers loosening up? Mine get loose enough to leak about 2 days after I tighten them. Tried thread locker, but to no avail. Thinkin' about tack welding them next...I too would recommend the Sweet Thunders. They should quiet it down quite a bit, and still have a deep, powerful sound.

For quiet, go with Borla XR-1's.

have you thought about a set of highflow cats, like some carsound cats? That would cut down on the sound volume quite a bit. Although im a big fan of the flowmaster 1 chambers and sweet chamber mufflers, dumped they are far far far from quiet...and considering i've heard both of them as well as dumped bullets with a cammed ls1 vehicle in person, there isn't that much of a difference. Bullets are just loud, the otehrs give the exhaust a very aggressive tone to it that can also be heard for miles.
the tone they give off i think makes me seem almost as loud as the bullets.
moroso spiral flows are quite a bit quieter, and if this is more of a daily driver you have their are some magnaflow mufflers that are alot quieter.
u could always run pipes out to the rear under the axle as well, that would cut down on the sound as well.

When I ran mine out the rear under the axle it added some rasp now I need to get rid of the little rasp it has. NOw that I got the Cam in it is still a little Raspy. When it was dumped I was happy as I could be with the sound. What do you guys recommed to take the rasp away?
I ran my true duals under the axle and added another two bullets. Drone = gone. Rasp = gone. Obnoxious volume = partially gone. Muscular tone = Still here. Im happy i did it this way. It uses two 12" bullets per side, for a total of 24" of muffler. Thats only 6 more inches than the normal setups with a single 18 per side, so its a little quieter. The real advantage is that the location of the muffler is staggered so the drone and resonance and rasp that was left by the first mufflers is now eliminated by the rear ones. The sound is cleaned up tremendously.
