Default Help me pick out a bullet muffler

I have been listening to some on youtube and ls1speed, but there are not really that many bullets. my car is lowered about 2 inches, so i think bullet would be the best thing without it scraping. i really want to get the magnaflow 4x9 or the flowmaster single chambers, but im pretty sure those wont fit. the muffler is gonna go on a ory with qtp headers. i heard the dynomax, but i want to hear others. im lookin for a bullet with little rasp and drone. is there any bullets that sound similar to the magnaflows or the flowmasters?

Magnaflow also makes a bullet style muffler.

Im assuming youre just going to run one muffler in the I pipe. I had a 1 chamber flow for a while. It will fit, but its tight. I wouldnt recommend it being lowered. Also ill warn you that with that setup the flow will be LOUD. Mine was so loud I couldnt stand it. It sounded good from idle to 2500 rpm, but after that the sound and the rasp were horrible.

Now i have the magnaflow bullt, but im using it as a resonator in addition to my dynomax ultraflo. It fits just as well as the dynomax bullet I had on my TSP rumbler cat back.

Heres a few clips

what clips fail to show is the damn RESONANCE at cruising speeds....

I went though 3 sets of different bullets until I found some custom 3 inch mufflers that flow as well but really bring the car's noise level to a bearable state. It sounds wicked amazing for the first few days, but a few highway trips and you'll wish for quiet...

Don't do a flowmaster 1 chamber in the I pipe with an ORY.. I tried that.. Rasp is just nasty.

you could try to put in the longest classic chambered Powerstick you can fit in there. Powersticks are 3.5" outside diameter so clearance won't be much of a problem.

Any of you guys use these bullet mufflers on turbo cars?
I'm trying to get ideas for my turbo exhaust.
Thanks!

borla makes bullets. I like my magnaflow magnapacks. Here's a clip. It's LT's, H pipe, and the magnapacks. All 2.5 piping. http://youtube.com/user/1cleanbird I'm about to switch to sweet thunders though. Those are a bullet style but are pretty loud.

I'm really happy using a magnaflow, not much drone at all, semi tame till you get on it.

I also run the magnaflow bullet style muffler like hotrod7687 said in the above post.

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

I have it in my I pipe, I started with a loud moth set up and hated it, swap to a borla bullet (Borlamouth) didn’t like it at all and now run the magnaflow and love it. I must say its really tame driving around town, and when you get on it,, sounds like a monster.

couldn't tell you how they sound with ORY. I'm goin with sweet thunders cause they sound so choppy and I just want something more aggressive. The magnapacks are real mellow, but sound real good WOT.

I have a 12" dynomax bullet with my T-70, very very deep sound at idle and if you don't like noise on the highway I wouldn't recommend it, but all in all it sounds awesome.

the initial sound of no mufflers sounds awesome the first few times out, living with that sound on highway cruising and around the city etc is another matter altogether.

Funny part is even after I got it quiet to me, I still get comments on how loud it is... well lined up against regular cars on the road... it is.
