Best muffler for TD's?
 
What muffler is the best for true duals and x-pipe? When i say best, i mean for canceling out rasp. I still want it to be loud, but not raspy. So what are your opinions on the different muffler options?

I dont know if this will get locked, but it seems as though this is the 2352358th time this has been asked this week. But in any case I'll answer, I have moroso spiral flows (or flo pro twisters, same damn thing I believe) and I couldn't be happier. Link in sig with vid.

Yeah, prolly should have searched first, the spiral flows were what i was leaning toward too, just wanted to get some more opinions.

I just ordered the spiral flows so I picked them. From what I have heard they sound good.

Yeah the seem to sound good in the vids i've seen, i just pulled up some videos with the sweet thunder mufflers and they sound pretty nice too

sweet thunders all the way. great classic sound better flow then spirals yet not un godly loud like bullets.

There really is no definative answer, every setup will vary and there's more to exhaust noise than just the mufflers.

As for rasp, well the motor will sound very different with load on it, i.e. as you drive down the road as opposed to sitting in your driveway revving the engine.

And this hasn't even got close to acocunting for different tastes and preferences.

Yeah i agree everyone has different tastes so it's hard to ask a question like "which muffler is best" and get an exact answer, so i'm more just looking at what muffler people are most happy with. I want my TA loud, i just cant stand rasp like with the bullets or especially with no mufflers at all lol

I have the Dynomax Bullets and couldn't be happier. No rasp and its loud as hell. Sounds wicked at WOT.

BTW, you should try to listen to these in person, as I'm sure is the case with others, but my video doesn't do the spiral flows nearly enough justice for how incredibly DEEP they are (I don't have thousands of recording equipment... I have a digicam, heh). Good luck.

Yeah i know what you mean, alot of these prolly sound different as hell person, next time i go to the nearby GTG i'll have to get some dudes with TD's to let me hear what they got.

Well on a LT1 bullets sound different than an LS1. To me LT1's sound a little deeper than LS1's

Ive got the magnaflow magnapacs 14" I think and they sound good but a guy at school has the 1-chambers and i fell in love with them the second it started up. But they are loud as hell much louder than the magnaflows

lilbuddy1587 Sep 21, 2006 01:21 PM

Magnaflow or Borla XR-1's for no rasp/popping/drone.

I kinda wondered that too. because i didn't think "bullets" and "no rasp" could be used in the same sentence :jest: Maybe he still has cats and thats why it's not raspy. Hell, i could run no muffler with very little rasp when i had my cats. Once they came off, it was very raspy.
