help choose muffler
help choose muffler i want my exhaust to be loud as human possible. im going to have pacesetter lt no cats with a flowmaster x-pipe setup i got from jegs. should i get some sort of bullet muffler or a flowmaster 1-chamber.
ls1sounds has some clips of each but the good clips are of cammed cars which im not yet. so i dont really know how different they are going to be minus the cam.

Cutouts will be overkill on an X-pipe setup.
Bullets are very loud.
1 chamber Flows will sound deep and mean.
Loud as humanly possible? Get some Boom tubes from Dr. Gas and pretend you're Dale JR.

I have the Flowmaster x-pipe w/ 1-chamber flowmasters, and it sounds awesome! Like SouthFL02SS said: "deep and mean", and at wot, its fricken loud! Sweet thunders are probably a little louder though, but not quite as deep.

right now i have stock cats and manifolds with a custom 3in y turndowned just over the axle. and it is definatley louder than stock. how much louder do you thing your setup is JBIRD02. i havent heard this setup in person, only lt's with catted y-pipes and catbacks and they were pretty loud.

i was planning on calling them tomorrow to ask some questions, but here's one in regards to your reply: it reads boom tubes above the boom tube muffler. the price difference is substantial as well. is the boom tubes a diy kit or something? in mentions requiring finishing by installer. just curious. id be fabbing anyways so id easily spend a few minutes finishing the tubes especially to save $600 at the same time.
thanks again,

those boom tubes sound BADASS, dont you just hate noise ordinance, every car alarm in town would be goin off when you drove by 
, I like the one chambers, or the dynomax bullets, the really short ones
