Would the car be quieter with a mufflex exhaust or a slp dual-dual?? Well I've decided its time to look into another exhaust, I'm going to get hassled by the cops too much I've figured...mainly because I got pulled over 2 times in the matter of 100 ft... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
My current exhaust setup is FLP headers going through ORP's, then to a SLP Loudmouth exhaust...I just want to change the catback...I really want to get a dual-dual and I'm currently looking for a used one...but If I can't find one I'll either buy one new or a mufflex exhaust with the dual tips...any ideas of which will be quieter?
Thanks

Re: Would the car be quieter with a mufflex exhaust or a slp dual-dual?? SLP dual dual BY FAR. Ask Trevor, he switched from a 3.5" mufflex dual to a D/D.
you could always throw cats on and go with the mufflex. that would be fairly quiet.

Re: Would the car be quieter with a mufflex exhaust or a slp dual-dual?? Nah, I dislike cats... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Sticking with the ORP's, just got to find a used dual-dual... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Would the car be quieter with a mufflex exhaust or a slp dual-dual?? I think that you are a *****. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I have the same set up and I never get hasseled. <img border="0" alt="[Pontiac]" title="" src="graemlins/formula.gif" />

Re: Would the car be quieter with a mufflex exhaust or a slp dual-dual?? The SLP will be a LOT quieter than the Mufflex. That's why I swapped catbacks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Just give it time, and I'm sure you'll find a used dual/dual.

Re: Would the car be quieter with a mufflex exhaust or a slp dual-dual?? trust me get the dual/dual. you can easily run an orp and the thing will be quiet. I also have the cutout now and when it is off it's like music to my ears. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Would the car be quieter with a mufflex exhaust or a slp dual-dual?? Do what I did, call Dynomax and order the 3" intermediate pipe, over-axle pipe, a single in/out ultraflow welded muffler, and a 90degree tailpipe. Built mine for less than $200 and its quiet even with heads/cam and MACS with ORP. I lost less than 2hp going from muffler to cutout before I did the heads and cam.

Re: Would the car be quieter with a mufflex exhaust or a slp dual-dual?? Had the D/D with FLP's. The drone at 2200 running the Automatic on the freeway got to be too much. Went to a Borla with the full block off and still was too much for traveling. The car gets used as a "grand touring" rig mostly. Ended up with the stock SS single polished round tip, one on each side. No drone and cost about 10 HP at top end but gained 15 pounds of torque down low. Those are dyno' numbers. Still is reasonably loud when tromped on but the 382 inches may make that much more noise over the 346. Can't be sure about that. I guess also like the simpler old muscle car look of the stock SS pipes.

Re: Would the car be quieter with a mufflex exhaust or a slp dual-dual?? I have my OEM d/d
i tore the pipes at the connection points a little, but it can be welded up.
too bad you aren't local, I'll let it go for 100 bones
no shipping, don't want to jack with it
rear section is intact, just a little tear at the muffler inlet.
Chris
PS: I'd get the NEW d/d, at least it has a bit of throaty sound to it.
