Default is there a muffler out there that will work for me?

hey guys i have a 2002 ws6 trans am that i am building a 455 ci motor for. for the exhaust i am doing a 3 inch stainless true dual out the back of the car. my question is, is there a company out there that makes a muffler with 2 3 inch inlets and 2 3inch outlets that will fit in the stock muffler location, made out of stainless? i want to use a real muffler for this exhaust because the car is going to be soo loud as it is being the motor that is going to be in it, so i will need a real muffler in it to quiet it down a little bit. thanks guys.
Jon

Magnaflow might have something you need. Some even contain a built in xpipe. Checkout their website.

hmm good point, thanks for the heads up. i looked and they have one muffler, stainless, dual 3 inch in and dual 3 inch out, but its made for suv's and trucks, so idk if it would fit, its overall length is 28 inches and the muffler itself is 24 inches. the camaro/firebird ones they sell are only 24 inches overall with the muffler being 18 inches long. thanks for the tip though

YEAH BUT you could get a couple inches off just but cutting an inch or two off eace neck. We do it all the time in space limited applications.
