Help Me Decide
Here is my current set up:
STOCK Manifolds + 3" O/R X + Magnapacks out the rear (SEE SIG)
Next weekend i am installing my QTP LTs, so i have no idea what it will sound like when i get them on. sort of do not like how it sounds now. At idle/cruise it is deep and bassy. At WOT it is racy high pitched sound. I want the sound to be deep and bassy IDLE - WOT
i know if i want that then go to H and 1 chambers. my buddy has that
Help me.. Gimme some suggestions

however, since you already paid for an X-pipe, try the single chambers in the X-pipe first. if you don't like them, swap it for an H-pipe and reweld the single chambers back in. that is my advice.

ok will listen to your vid when i get home

i think the Spiral Flo and Flo Pro are the same? they both have that same same spiral interior? BTW what is the purpose of the spiral design?

plus our engines have a wacky firing order. that's why our engines sound so funny compared to more standard mustangs or LT1's.
if you want old school, the magnapacks are the absolute worst choice out there IMO, regardless of X or H pipe. the mufflers have a bigger influence on the tone than the pipe does. H-pipes will deepen the tone, not change it.
the single chamber flows on an X-pipe setup will give you a higher pitched old school tone. single chambers on an H-pipe setup will give you a lower pitched old school tone.
magnapacks will be racey and exotic no matter what you do. the pipe just changes the depth. you'll still have the same tone you hate now (assuming you still hate it after LT's), just deeper.
listen to jmm98LS1's car. i can tell you it's the sound you're looking for, and i guarantee you it sounds even better in person.
Sweet thunder is just a straight pipe with little divets protruding from the side. -J
ok so the sweet thunders are like my Magnaflow Magnapacks.. then ST is out then

That is crazy that the magnapacks will give an exotic sound. b/c it is the same as a ST..
So from what you are saying ditch the packs if i want that old school sound. See i want that low pitched, old muscle school sound. but can i acheive it with an X pipe? you said to listen to jmm98LS1 car.. do you have a soundclip for his car that i can listen too?
So then what will a Flo Pro or Spiral Flo do for my sound then??
I really need to get my LTs on and go from there. but i would like a sound clip of jmm98LS1 car

ok well your vid not show a WOT. so what are talking about here??? And what pipe are you running?? X or H.. LTs or NO
i heard his car. ehhh it was ok. i need a soundclip with a WOT run.. b/c yea at idle crusie sounds like mine deep and bassy
You have ALREADY heard my LS1 with the LT's, no cats, 3" H-pipe, & Flowmaster 1-chambers dumped! Heck, you frickin' drove it to it's limits.
LOL It's the sickest, most old-school sound you can get at WOT!
Sounds nothing like any LS1 I've ever heard with other TD set-ups...NO video clip is going to help you bro. Go by what you hear in person. Stop wasting your time and money and just go with what you know will make you happy.
Have a great weekend and we'll hang out soon,

i know that no video clip will help me, but can give me an idea. i want to get that right tune with the current set up i have plus the long tubes w/o having to switch my exhaust again. I am trying like hell to get the old school sound with this aluminum block that has an x pipe. If not then i go h with flows and call it a day.

Thanks LOL... and yes we will hang out soon
Old school sound? Go flows. My system sounds flowmaster-esque under part throttle cruising around. 1 chamber flows are great, but I didn't feel like fabbing anything, wanted an out of the box performer. Spiral flows fit that bill. Seems as though the only one you've had direct experience with in person is what you absolutely love, so why bother with the others?

again, H-pipe and single chambers. magnapacks will never get you that sound.
