Default best bullet mufflers for true dual

whats the best bullet style mufflers for a true dual exhaust over the axle for the least amount of drone/rasp and still have nice sound!

You could also look at the power stick mufflers for the GMMG style sound or the Magnaflow magnapack mufflers.

I'm just saying, i dont know how much you payed for that thing, but you coulda just gotten the cheapo dynomax bullets if you were going for plain jane bullets. Sorry, didn't mean to offend. Hell if they are quieter than what i run, i may try them on my car, haha. Anything to get some hearing back

Not true, but most guys will say sweet thunders are the best way to go for a chambered design. I personally don't care for them, but others do. It's more of a personaly opinion.

1. You're not going to have to worry about rasp with duals....period.
2. Generally the quieter the muffler, regardless of how it muffles (chambered, packing etc), the less chance it'll have interior drone. Personally I don't think you'll have to worry about it since it'll be run out the back.
3. Borla xr1's if you wanna spend the money, moroso spiral flows (would be my choice of the two) if you don't. My $.02.

i have the MagnaPacks.. idle and cruise they are deep and bassy. at WOT they are racy high pitched sounding..

i am getting my QTPs LTs on soon so i might not change them, if i do i am prooly going to do:

A) new bullets, spiral flows

B) H pipe and 1 chamber flows

I replaced the Dynomax bullet in my Rumbler with it, definitely sounds better. Not really more quiet, but more toned I guess is a good way to put it, deeper and smoother. Really the only difference is instead of fiberglass in the bullet shell, it has stainless steel wool.

And no offense, wasn't sure what you were getting it, thought I'd play along.

Are you doing the entire system 2.5"?.....or are you doing 3" to the axle and 2.5" the rest of the way?

Moroso makes 2.5", 3", and 3.5" spiral flows, you can get them through summit racing for ~$45.

3" to the axle and 2.5" the rest of the way. Now would you do an H pipe w/ or without cats?

If it were me to do over again, i'd run cats UNLESS i plan on running a 2step box on the car.

If i weren't running a 2step, i'd have a set of high flow cats on it right now.
