Default xpipe with REAL mufflers

Does anyone have an Xpipe with some REAL mufflers? I'm sorry, but dual dynomax bullets are just gonna be too loud. I'd like to see what else it availabe, but i'm having a hard time finding something relatively small. Thanks.

Dynomax Ultraflo 3 inch center in and center out mufflers are a great choice.
Cheers,

Chris - Judging from the pics, you think they would fit? I was concerned they might not, or they'd hit the fuel lines. Maybe I could just use some exhaust wrap to help supress the heat. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I was thinking of a different muffler. The ones you are refering me too are a round type. You think those would be quiter than the bullets? I guess i'm just looking for something about as loud as my loudmouth.

I am running 3" duals with an H pipe and Borla XR1 Sportsman mufflers. The mufflers are about a foot long and very narrow.

I think my car sounds really awesome. I have have about ten different exhaust configurations on my LS1's and this by far is the most tuned sounding.

Can you elaborate on "most tuned" sounding? You mean the least like a Top Fuel dragster or welding truck? Most exotic? Least resonance?

Car has a nice rumbly but tuned sound.

It is very droney from the H pipe though.

I could not take the bullets anymore.

I need to get some pics, perhaps on Saturday.

These mufflers are kind of straightthru. They have 3 perforated tubes running thru them.

PSJ - Could you elaborate on which XR1s you have? They have several different styles, lengths, etc. If you could take some pics that would kickass. Thanks, BTW.

I got the mufflers used.

I'll try to get some pics up.

I think CEndres' Flows were 3.5" inlet/outlet.

It had the Eibach Pro Kit springs. I think those lower it a little?

Would you guys happen to have any other pictures of that car/set up that I could look at or maybe a website. I would like some side pictures that I might could make a estimate of how much ground clearance there might be.

Thanks

These spintechs are only 2 1/4 inches thick. Another good option, but I wonder how spintechs sound?

The spintechs seem to have a lot of rasp, no matter what the Exhaust. For the weight conscious guys, they are fairly heavy, and dubbed the "coffin" from their looks
