Default Decisions...

Alright, I have shitmasters right now on my daily driver caprice. I was wondering if there is a difference between magnaflow bullets (magnapacks) and the slp bullets (LM1's). I just want a change in the D/D. I know it will be damn loud, they'll be dumped before the axle, but is one deeper than the other? I'm looking for loud but deep sound.

There's a HUGE difference between the LM1 "bullets" which have NOTHING inside, and the Magnapacks, which have some volume reducing material. No way I'd put the LM1 "bullets" (actually just resonators), on anything I own.

I would go with the Magnapacks, or just some Dynomax Bullets, which will sound about the same but probably be much cheaper.

Thanks for the input, I was leaning toward the magnaflows to begin with. Any other input is appreciated.

The Magnaflows are going to sound deeper hands down. Forget about regular bullets, they will be louder and less deep sounding.

WTF????

A Magnaflow bullet is a regular bullet muffler. Almost identical to a Borla.

It's a matter of semantics. A "regular" bullet muffler I consider to be a dynomax bullet. Very little sound deadening configuration, pretty much straight pipes. Not much bigger than straight pipes.

Magnaflows and Borla "bullet" mufflers are MUCH bigger, and deeper sounding. A different muffler altogether.

Think you need to take a look at some Borla and Magnaflow mufflers. Some only have a 1/2" of packing are indeed straight thru.
