The best sounding exhaust setup thats loud, in my opinion, is true duals with single chamber flowmasters, dumped. But, then again, I AM biased....

Still not gonna stop me from doing it when I put my new exhaust on. Except I'm thinking about doing longtubes into a y out the passenger side with a boom tube. No cats, no mufflers to start with.

headers, dual electric cutouts, then a catted GMMG catback. that's my opinion. the catted catback for times to keep the volume down, but push the button and you are running open headers... nothing meaner than that sound

LT headers and true duals with some sort of race muffler (ie. bullet, x-r1, 1 chamber, sweet thunder, spiral flow, etc.) are the best. Take it over/under the axle and out the back and I think it sounds better personally .

here's 2 of my setups:

1) LTs, no cats, oval tubing, dynomax bullit muffs, side exit:





my current setup:

LTs, no cats, 3" TDs over axle out modified CME, with 3" dynomax bullit muffs



with just a lid (no cam or anything else), i have the loudest bolt-on f-body i've heard in person...and love it. i'm even tinkering with the idea of throwing in some cutouts right after the header collectors to run open headers sometimes

I'm a pretty reserved guy.....call me lame, but, the GMMG sounds pretty sinister by itself. I just replaced my LM with the GMMG and I have no regrets what-so-eva.

I can only imagine how it sounds with all the other exhaust components installed

100% agree, I ripped off an exhaust that was almost new to put a spintech on when I heard it. When I start spraying I'm going to QTP's, X-pipe, and 2 oval spintechs.

It's not QUITE as loud as others mentioned but DAMN it sounds good.

number 3 is obviously a winner based on what your asking... custom true duals 3" piping and if you plan on throwing some mufflers on, dynomax bullets do the trick
