there a chamberd muffler, its just like a glass pack for trucks. If you like everything to rattle in your car and for heads to turn everywere, thats what i like, ne way go with them, and the clearance is just like a pipe it doesent get bigger like a traditonal round muffler, but if you know your going to get in **** for having your car really loud the you should run with some xr1s cuz if there is a cop beihind you, then you can drive off safley and not get pulld over for noise.

Get the 18in sweet thunders, and Xr1 is a racing muffler that borla makes, there some of the best out there. There not a norlmal muffler, like an oval there round just for setups like true duals. And did you get new plugs for your Lts, its good to change em while you do the LTs, unless you have newer plugs.

K if you have ever lookd at you stock exhuast manifolds or spark plugs and wires, your going to know its going to be a bitch to put LTs on then a couple months later have to put new plugs in there. I am gettin new plugs and wires for my car so i can do it all at once, and make sure if you consider doing plugs and wires, get OTVC (over the valve cover) cuz your headers will touch your plugs and thats not good at all cuz your wires willmelt.

It's definitely a good idea to change the plugs and wires while you do a header install. It'll be the easiest plug change you ever do, lol.

i kinda like the way the flowmaster 1 chambered mufflers sound with true duals. check out ls1sounds.com under the true duals section. they have atleast 2-3 different clips of the 1-chambered flowmaster mufflers. they arent as loud and mean as the sweet thunders, but they are very refined sounding.....with a nice old-school muscle car tone check it out

Yea, the 80 series factory replacement sucks. The 1 chambers dont. They're called race mufflers for a reason.
