Default spiral flow vs 1 chambers which is louder?

just thinking of doing some TDs but are the spiral flows as loud as 1 chambers? and do they drone as bad?

Spiral flows will not be as loud as 1-chambers. They will also have a different tone than the 1-chambers. IMO, the 1-chambers sound better, but spiral flows sound good too. If you want the quieter of the two.....Spiral flows.

y-pipe with cutout.

I have a custom exhaust with a force muffler. It sounds mean as hell through the muffler. But when I open the cutout, people think the car is possessed by satan himself!

But to answer your ?
Both will be loud. The sprial will be more tame and bassy and the flowmaster will probably sound alot meaner and cut the rasp better.
But they are both going to SCREAM @ WOT!!

Not at all...they are ~ 6 inches in length with 1 chamber inside. They flow very well.

The only real Flowmasters that are chokers are the 80 series muffler, which is used in the 82-02 f-body catback.

They are a bullet, but not as loud as the dynomax. Small clip in sig. You are right they have a mild flowmaster type sound to them. I bought them because they came in the TSP kit and I wanted something I could slap on the car in an evening by myself.

well after watching the few videos I honestly think the spiral flows sound better especially at idle. The flowmasters have like a hollow tin-can sound to them at idle. Where the spiral flows sound deep.
