slp dual/dual, see if you can find one off an slp f-body as slp doesnt make them anymore. Another option would be to weld a magnafow bullet muffler into the I-pipe and then a magnaflow regualr square muffler into the rear section. That would flow well and be quiet. Check the link in my sig for my magnaflow clip with cam/ory/headers.

I have the hooker catback and its pretty quiet at idle, but when you stomp the gas it sounds mean. I am always getting compliments from friends on the sound, and it is a great flowing muffler too!

I got a free flowmaster from theblurls1.....I'm going to put it on plus a dynomax bullet in the y pipe with a cutout right behind it.......he has it on his car with a slp dual dua....the car is as quiet as stock but you can still hear the cam.....plus he said he didn't see any change in speed or time at the track with the cutout open......goes to show that slp is a great flowing quiet muffler

its very quiet while cruising, a little rasp in the 2000-2500 range but after that it sounds great without screaming.
