SEARCH.

Any muffler sounds good with true duals. Duals naturally sound good, Y-pipes need the help of mufflers.

Try searching on Borla XR-1, Sweet Thunder chambered, round body magnaflows, dynomax bullets, spiral flows.....

Flowmaster 1-Chambers (10 Series) sound great. They are very deep at low RPM's and scream in the high RPM's. They produce a lot of interior noise and drone but I like that kind of ****!

Magnaflow part # 10416. If you search (not here) you should be able to find them for $50 each + free shipping.

I had TD's with these mufflers fabbed up about 500 miles ago. The sound at idle is extremely deep and has a lot of bass. At cruising speeds they are very quiet, IMO. At WOT they scream, but kind of like an exotic sound. I love the way they sound.

That's the best way I can describe it too. I don't have the setup personally, but have heard it before and liked it.

At idle, it is extremely low and the bass is incredible. But as King James here said, at WOT it has a different sound than many LS1s. Almost kind of an exotic/foreign scream to it. Very nice. Check out LS1sounds.com for some clips of it, especially this one: http://ls1sounds.com/true_duals/TDs-...224-114cam.wmv

1-Chambers are great. I have a custom X-Pipe and its pretty loud inside but I enjoy hearing my exhaust howl. Did the Flowmaster X-Pipe smooth out the tone at all?
