Quietest mufflers, yet high flowing... I have had quite an experience with a loud exhaust
my setups so far have been:
stock catback
LM
LT ORY LM1
LT ORY Dynomax bullet
LT and 2 bullets dumped H pipe..
Im tired of my car being so loud... not exactly tired, but dont wanna attract lots of attention due to police and complaining neighbors..
yes I know, screw them, but thats beside the point. Id rather get a quieter exhaust...
Now what I am looking for is a quiet muffler. I wanna go back to a Y pipe setup maybe...
The only problem is I want soemthing with good flow, because Im installing my heads and cam next week and will be making a good 430+RWHP.... stage 2.5 5.3l heads and a torquer 3 cam..
I wanna be quiet as possible without loosing too much flow.
what is the best on the market for my application?
Hooker aerochamber? magnaflow?
I really dont know what to choose at this moment. I mean I like the type of sound the dynomax with ORY and LM made.
I just want a quiter versiona nd I dont wanna run any cats...
any suggestions?

Im lookn for quieter exhaust too, im thinkn h-pipe into stock mufflers and e-cutouts (for the wild hairs). H-pipe and delta flows make a great head snaping sound but not good for late nights comin home or road trips to the g/fs

Of the ones i've had (Magnaflow and Dual/Dual) I'd say the Magnaflow sounds awesome w/ stock manifolds/cats. It just sounds nasty up top w/ LT's and ORY.
The dual/dual however sounds great everywhere and is very quiet, w/ the exception of WOT. Then it just freaking ROARS. Dual/Dual is supposed to flow with the best of the aftermarket group as well.

I've had good luck with covering the exhaust pipes/muffler with Thermo-tec products (30 road trips between Phoenix and LA will make you look for ways to make the car quieter). In particular, the shield that covers the intermediate pipe made a significant reduction in interior noise, plus adding shorter sections to the over the axle segment and wrapping the muffler helped too. I'm running a FM SUV muffler (single in-dual out, a home-made 2OTL). I didn't notice a performance difference when I switched out from the 80-series muffler, but I did notice a decrease in interior noise.
im runnin long tubes 3"orx with 1 chamber flowmasters dumped...inside the car is actually very quiet and if the verter is locked its not bad at all at cruisin speeds....im sure its alot quieter than your current setup.....
It seems like all I am posting about lately is my exhaust...oh well haha.
Another vote for Magnaflow. I can't believe how quiet my ORY, H/C setup is with a Magnaflow Race Series muffler. It has a very unique sound, I love it.
Dual/Dual sounds awesome aswell, but slightly harder to come by.

dude i think you would like magnaflow i have it on mine its real deep its louder than stock but not racer/rod status. its more of a i have a sweet v8 but im not a show off sort of thing. and i can feel it work performance wise. it doesnt sound that great at mid rpm's but its ok at high rpms. im trying to get rid of mine cause i want that deep tone (which i already have) but i want it to be louder and more aggressive, so im going with powerstick(s)
