Ummm it should be from the inside AND outside? If you watch all the way to the end there's a drive/fly by. Or did you want more?

i personally think the bullets are droney while cruising and raspy or blaaaat sounding from about 2100-2800rpms.. which i cant stand..

I love my Spiral Flows, wouldn't trade them for anything. no more dorne than my flowmaster catback, and WAY louder at WOT. I considered the ST's but they seem to lack "character" to me. I can't put my finger on it, but they are just missing something at WOT. But when it comes to exhaust, to each his own.

The mufflers i'm thinking about is the one chambers and magnaflow bullets. Can you guys suggest any other mufflers?

I would also like to hear sound clips.

TIA
I haven't bothered reading the whole thread, so this may already be answered.

Magnaflow bullets are very similar to Dynomax bullets and will sound very similar. So there's pretty little point swapping to them.

What is it you don't like about the current sound? And what would you like to achieve?

Personally I like the sound of chambered mufflers. My first chioce would be Classic Chambered Powersticks or Stainless Works Chambered mufflers.

These quite simply sound awsome.

Another very good option is Flowmaster 10 Series.

The Powersticks will be the easiest to locate, espcially if dumping before the axle. 10 series Flows would probably be easier to locate behind the axle as ground clearance will be limited if dumped.

Also if you are wanting more of a muscle car sound, get rid of the X and go for a good H pipe instead.

I am trying to achieve a deeper tone. The bullets arent deep enough for me and they dont have the tone i'm looking for.

I have decided to get two 16" powersticks and run my duals out the back under the axle.

Everone says deep???

Not really sure what that means as I think even my LM sounds pretty darn deep, you feel it as much as hear here (by-stander at the side of the road).

Anyhow, if that's you're goal seriously swap the X for a H you won't regret it.

I admit it was on a Mustang, but I was fortunate enough to hear the exact same setup side by side but one with a X and the other with a H.

It was almost unbelivable how much better the H sounded. And in real world terms it won't really cost you any HP and will possibly improve under the curve performance.
