I need help with muffler selection..
Re: I need help with muffler selection.. Vince,
Just a thought, but if you really want to keep the dual outlets, want a single in/single out muffler, and you don't mind spending a few bucks extra you might be able to pick up a Loudmouth and just install a 3" Dynomax in the I-pipe.
Regardless, you'll be hard-pressed to find another muffler that'll beat the flow capabilities of a Dynomax Ultra-Flo. I've also found them to be relatively quiet if that factors into your decision.

Re: I need help with muffler selection.. Vince it is easy to get the dual look with the single outlet muffler.
Just have a small hole in your int pipe over the axle. Weld in a piece of three inch tubing and run it as the passenger side outlet of the dual.
The hole only needs to be very small (Allows steam/exhaust to come out of that tailpipe) and wont affect noise/flow at all.
Easy to do and cheap.
You can set it up with dual 3.5 inch chrome tips. (the drivers side will be the REAL side with the flow going through the single outlet muffler) The pass side will be from the int pipe over axle area with the very small hole and 3.5 inch tip.
Very cheap and easy to do.

Re: I need help with muffler selection.. Vince, like Fulton said... there are a bunch of people doing that, and it's called a Dynomouth. From the ones that I've heard, it sounds really good, and you keep dual tips.
I was going to do that myself... but I was just going to take the muffler out, fabricate a Y-pipe past the axle, so as to run 2 pipes out the back, and put a bullet in the I-pipe. Shouldn't cost more than $150-$200 tops.

Re: I need help with muffler selection.. Do you want all out performance or looks or both. You know my suggestion already. I couldnt be happier with what I have, but you could go from the I-pipe and put like a 2 chanber flowmasterwith 2 right side offsets and have it exit the drivers side. That would sound good and give good gains. Or for looks and perf. get a Coras, but $$$$$ for the looks. I would personally get the Hooker catback if I was to do another catback and change the tips, but I think they did something different with the tips. Thats why it was on BO for a loooong time.

Re: I need help with muffler selection.. Another way to keep you dual outlet look with a single in/out muffler (exiting on the driver's side) and a cutout on the I-pipe right before the muffler. Have a muffler shop weld a flange on a tailpipe and run the pipe on the passenger side just like stock. I thought about doing this with a QTEC cutout on that side, and I think there was guy on the board that did this with a Hooker muffler. Just a thought.

Re: I need help with muffler selection.. I went to a muffler place to get their take on my exhaust situation. The guy said there is no way oil is going to clog up my SLP muffler. Plus, he let me listen to his 95 Camaro Z28 with Dynomax Ultraflow on it.. It was the welded version. It was louder than I care to put on my car. He let me hold a Dynomax UltraFlow muffler. That thing is straight thru... I thought you guys said it was quiet.. It was loud on a car with no headers. I can imagine what it would do to my car..

Re: I need help with muffler selection.. Vince,
I mentioned that based on my experience the Ultra Flo's are relatively quiet. I am running an Ultra-Flo Magnum on my truck and a good friend has them on his 5.0L Mustang. In both cases they seem very livable from inside the vehicle. Of course I could be jaded since I don't find the Loudmouth on my SS or the B&B on my Vette that bad either <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: I need help with muffler selection.. I live in Seminole Dino.. I stopped by A1 Exhaust off of Seminole Blvd.. Looks like my muffler will stay on the car. I guess I will never see the big dyno's #'s you other guys see.. I cant disrespect my neighbors like that.
Re: I need help with muffler selection.. Seminole is just 20-30 minutes away from our spot on Gandy, right? Cause I live like 5 minutes from the bridge.
Oh, and just so you know... I hate my neighbors!!! If I could run open headers, I would! I'll tell you more about them when we meet again.
