Default Help me pick my exhaust!

Okay guys in the spring I am getting LT's and true duals, I have narrowed my choices considerably and this is what I have come up with. Im getting the LPP headers from our sponsor here and then either magnaflow 4x9s with x or h pipe dumped or sweet thunders with either an x or h pipe dumped. I think I want a more quiet setup and I have heard the magnaflows with an x in person and loved them on two different cars, but was thinking of doing an h because its supposed to give it more of a muscle car sound and to be a little different than those cars in my area. Since I havent heard it with an h at all I dont know though. I think the sweet thunders will be quite a bit louder, but havent totally ruled them out yet. So vote for what you think would sound the best and I would love to see some video or sound clips of these!

Most people go for the duals to get a deep...throaty sound. By no means quiet. No idea on what advice to give you on a quiet muffler for duals.

I would have to say the magnaflows for the quietier sound. They arent as loud as most mufflers ive heard. Flomasters are my preference. Love the deep tone.

If you want it be quiet....dont get them dumped..run the pipes all the way out the back...will help with inside noise tremendously.

You will be leaving power on the table with an H pipe over an X pipe. It wont be much, but if your anything like me, you want every last drop.
