Flowmasters on ls1 cars are extremely loud.I can only imagine with strait pipes.lol! but we've done a few systems with dynomax race packs and magnaflows mufflers with thunderbolt high flow cats and have sounded very nice ,and they were rather quiet!

^^^ Very cool! So I decided to use the flowmaster and cap one of the outlets. One tail pipe on the driver side, bent to turn-down like 98-Z28-Darkness did. Pretty quiet and only cost $45 at muffler shop. Feels like I lost hp up top and gained a little low end. I'll probably go with maxflow when I do more mods eventually. Neighbors are happy and I got my stealth exhaust! That will work for now....
