Default Getting rid of bullets thinking about oval magnaflows...

ok guys i am getting tired of the bullets everyday. i have 3" run under the axle out the back and its still too loud everyday. i am wondering if the 4x9x13 magnaflows will be the ticket. never seen them in person and was wondering if you can see straight though them like the bullets, because if you can then they are going to be much quieter than what i have. any other ideas i am open to also. want good flow but quietness. of yea i have dual cutouts so i am wanting it as quiet as possible. not wanting to spend an arm and a leg on mufflers either. thought about borla Xr1s but dont want to spend that much.

I put the Magnaflow Round muffler part # 14419 in place of my LM I resonator after I added LT's and an ORY. Sounds very nice at idle, barely any rasp and once u hit 2500 rpm it gets insane.

Speaking from a guy who has the Round Mangaflow muffler. At idle (with LTs and ORY) it swear I could hear the stock cam. Just cruisin its really deep , no rasp..when u get on it or bring it above 2500rpm all hell breaks lose
