Help me pick a muffler for my duals! Choice one:
Dynamax 6" round, 3" center in / out muffler
Choice two:
Dynamax 4" casing, 3" bullet muffler
Choice three:
Borla XR1 sportsman, 3" center in / out muffler
The exhaust consists of grot longtubes, dual 3" piping with an X carried over the axles, so clearance is not an issue but weight is. I had the bullets on before but am considering the other two mufflers to quiet down the car some. Borlas cost twice as much as the 6" round ($120 vs $60) but are lighter. Does anyone have any opinions on these muffler choices or a suggestion for another muffler?

Re: Help me pick a muffler for my duals! Besides Vince's brain, do we have any other suggestions? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Help me pick a muffler for my duals! As I said before, clearance in not an issue but weight is. From what I understand, here is how these mufflers will rank from loudest to most tame:
Bullet
6" round
XR1 Sportsman
Bullet
6" round
XR1 Sportsman
Re: Help me pick a muffler for my duals! Had the bullets, and that is what I would sugest for the most power.
Wanted something quieter & more compact, so I now run the Edelbrock RPM mufler (Summit/Jegs) it is only 3.6" thick, and 7" wide (smaller in thickness than the bullet) Sound is nice, compares to a 2 or 3 chamber. I an hold a conversation, and hear the radio, but still, when I hammer it, you know there is something there. I also have grotts, to X pipe.
