Honestly... I have that exact setup, and WTF. Not too loud. Anyway, I would say that the best flowing quietest exaust would be the SLP Dual Dual. Most people are prob going to agree. Other than that.... Throw some cats on her. Oh and where do you live?? Good luck

Put the stocker back on and get a cutout, and put the cutout as close to the Y pipe as you can.... problem solved.

i didnt think it was too loud at all.. i live in stillwater, ok. plenty of people have louder than me so i dunno.. i was just idle'n by too... i think im going to wing for awhile and see if i get anything said again... just wanted some input on what everyone has heard.

i have a cutout on it already... and i dont have the stock one anymore.. but i really didnt want to go back to that much of a restrictive muffler again.. i need the flow if at all possible.

Personally, I"ll be running a larger tehn stock CI setup with a big cam, qtp 1 3/4 and a catted Y into a LM, with a TH400, 4500 stall and 4.10's.. I know it's gonna make noise like few others.... if I get pinched for it beign too loud then the stock catback is going on my car for inspection... and once it's thru, I'll either be doing true duals with a relativly quiet muffler if I can find one, or just leave the stock catback ona dn get a 4 inch cutout.

Z28convert, who in CT did the duals for you, and what did it run ya? PM me if need be.
