Default Best sounding Muffler???

I need a replacement for where the stock one went. I have some thingy ma boddy racing type muffler up there(like a small flowmaster) and its rattling on the inside so i think its time for a new one again

whats some good sounding muffler's out there? I really want a deep tone, this other one had a higher tone.

Im running SLP LT's, offroad pipe, 224 cam, and a cutout.. but when capped I still want to sound good

Harold you know that I have a Borla cat back, but if I was just going to change the muffler I'd look at the Magnaflow. I think Warlock has one and it sounds good.Got to be cheaper than changing the entire cat back.

My brother has a flowmaster on his formula so I tried one on my wifes 3.8 camaro, but it made it sound like a chainsaw. <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" /> So I had a dynomax put on and it sounds very deep, almost sounds like a V8 car now. I bet one would sound sweet on an LS1 car.

Go Borla!! I had the Flow 80 series w/ cut out prior to this & the sound & look is Night/day!
Spend the extra $$ & get the Borla. Or check the classifieds, guys are always selling them here. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Do the Dynomouth mod!
Deep muscle car sound, dyno proven power, and dirt cheap...
Mine was $140 with parts, shipping, and professional installation.
There hasn't been one Dynomouth modder disappointed yet!
