You should go magnaflow. They are the quietest around.

No way Spiral Flows are quiet, IMO. Just goes to show you can't get an accurate indication of what a muffler sounds like by asking internet strangers. Generally, the bigger, the fatter the muffler is, the quieter it will be. And there isn't much room under our cars for very big mufflers without some massaging and creativity.

Of the 3 TSP offers, Spirals ARE the quietest... bearing in mind they go from loud, louder, louder than sin My setup is def not "quiet" but it's more than tolerable. Clip in sig.

I have heard several different TD setups and the "quietest" mufflers would be the spiral flow but not by much. If you're concerned at all with your car being too loud you should probably look at a different setup.

spiral flows are quieter than the other bullets but not quiet at all. I have them to make mine quieter over the dynomax's but not much quieter though. I am thinking about a non bullet muffler now. I live in a subdivison and I think all bullets are too loud to start the car in the driveway without rattling pictures off the walls LOL.

exactly, any saying spiral flows are quiet is just retarded. the only way theyre quiet is when compared to things like sweet thunders and single chambers which really dont do **** for quieting the exhaust.

Magnaflows are known to be quiet. My 4x9s are easily only third of the volume of my previous chambered mufflers. the biggest muffler with the most packing will be the quietest

My Magnaflow 4x9's are pretty quiet until I get on it. Hookers are pretty quiet, quieter than my Magnaflows.

oh i agree totally, duals are inherently loud, he just wants to know the quietest mufflers.

spiral flows are definitely not them is all im saying. and there is a big gap between the noise level of spiral flows and a muffler like a magnaflow

ive heard magnaflows on catbacks...they werent exactly quiet compared to a few others....but ive never heard them in real life on duals....hearing them off sound clips on the internet doesnt really do justice to any exhaust....only really gives you a hint of the real sound...once again i say throw cats on it, that will make it more quiet then any type of muffler

I'm telling you go with Magnaflow. They flow the best because they're straight through.
