Wink What to do, what to do..To QUIET!

Whats up guys? Well, I have a Magnaflow catback. Now, dont get me wrong, its nice and does sound decent. However, I would love to have TDs under my car. However, I have the brace mounted UMI TQ Arm. So thats a no go. I am basically stuck with a y-pipe setup. But, its too quiet! I already have Lts, ory on there. I have currently the F14 cam. But, going to be swapping out for a MS4 or similar custom grind. What I want is, well, basically. I want to wake the motherf*&^^en dead with my car. So I have been thinking about going with a TSP Rumbler but swapping the Dynomax with a chambered muffler. Think that will work? I have been SEARCHING for a vid of a similar setup. I find a few, however there all basically stock cars. Finding very few that have Lts ory and a larger cam. If you have any, help me out. Thanks.

BTW, Magnaflow catback soon to be for sale!!

I've never heard the Magnaflow in person but is it really that quiet with ORY, LT's and a cam?

I'm surprised.

A less muffling muffler would appear to be an option.

You could still go duals if you wanted, there should be enough room for a H pipe setup easy. And if you want an X it's still possible. As long as the torque arm is the one for LT's it should have a bulge/loop where it hangs lower on one side for the exhaust. If you pick the X pipe carefully you should be able to locate the middle of the X in the loop. It'll just require custom fabbing.

2nd the vote for cutout.
Toss on a cutout and get a McCord electric cutout cap and you'll have the best of both worlds.

I just might have to check out the H-pipe option for true duals. Still searching for pics/or ideas. I have had a cutout before, it was alright. But didnt sound what I'm looking for. Yea, I'm picky. Thanks though.

You really should hear mine, take the cats off and add a cam. Was at a car show pulling up to get judged and was sitting there Idling and two other owners of a magnaflow said, my magnaflow, does not sound like that. At Idle I have a real nice rumble, and when I stomp on it, its real, real , loud. Has alot of crackling but sounds good. Before cat removal and cam change, car had some nice sound, but nothing like it had now.

I have a comp XER 232/234 with LTs, no cats, and a loudmouth. If you want to make women and children run, this is your setup. I may even have a video by the end of the weekend.

Another vote for a cutout, you'll have the obnoxious sound when you want it and the quieter sound with the flip of a switch.
