Default Deepest dual mufflers?

What mufflers to use with duals have the deepest, bassiest(lol, if thats a word) sound? If a couple of them are similar then say the quieter one of the two.

Also, if I get some quiet mufflers for the duals, how loud will they be compared to the ORY/Hooker catback I have now?

Thanks

My Dynomax mufflers are pretty dam deep at cruise but just scream at WOT (I'm running 3" catless duals) - if I was you, I'd get a couple Magnaflow universal mufflers if you're putting em out back.

Holy crap that's sig worthy!

If you dump your exhaust, it will greatly increase the "bassyness". Bullets are really deep when dumped, as are 1-Chambers.

You want deep and quiet? Get a set of Borla XR-1 mufflers. Either the round #40085 or a set of the ovals.

This is true, chad01tx has dumped duals w/ XR-1's and it's quiet, but sounds really nice.

I have dynomax bullets and will be getting rid of them eventually because its not deep/bassy enough for me.

Dont get me wrong it sounds GOOD but just not what i'm looking for.

QFT! I had my oval XR-1 duals dumped and it was bassy as hell! Even ran under the axle it has a VERY deep tone to it. And no, no rasp what so ever. The xr1 is considered one of the best mufflers for their, sound, no rasp and less drone than other mufflers.

My spirals aren't exactly quiet, but are somewhat deep, IMO. They are also dumped. Clip in sig.

I think I like the sound of the borlas, but there aren't many vdeos at all on ls1sounds to show me what they sound like. Anyone know somewhere else I can hear them? Or maybe someone on here has a clip of their own car with them(preferably clips without a cam since I don't have one)?

I've been very happy with SweetThunders on my TSP TD's, used to have Dynomax Bullets which sounded good but rattled everything in the cabin.
