Exclamation NEED help picking a muffler!

Ok I just sold my Borla catback.

I'm just going to run a single muffler off the Y pipe and dump it before the axle.

I looked on ls1sounds but didnt see anything that was like my setup..

Kooks 1-3/4 stepped 1-7/8 headers 3" y pipe no cats. MS4 cam.

I dont want a godawful loud sound like the SLP loud mouth is.

I was thinking a borla or dynomax.. I need ideas and input asap thanks

I am thinking about getting rid of my magnaflow and getting a 1 chamber flowmaster just because i love the sound. But if you want quieter i would get the hooker maximum flow.

Dynomax Race Mufflers?

Dynomax Ultra Flo Welded Mufflers?

Dynomax Ultra Flo Mufflers?

Borla XR-1 Racing Mufflers?

MagnaFlow Performance Mufflers?

thats all I have found so far. I just want to hear them. I dont want to spend the money and hate it.

I want a DEEP rumble and the less rasp the bertter!

DAMN!!! thats what I'm talking about! sounds bad *** at idle not to loud thought and at WOT it's not like a jet taking off next to your head. Just wondering how it would sound coming out of a single pipe and not duals

and with a big cam its gonna be downright obnoxious loud.

go with a bigger muffler

the magnaflow 4x9s are great units. they almost quieted my TD setup down too much for me.

and they're stainless

personally i'd get the ypipe enlarged to a 3.5" merge, then run a 3.5" pipe into a 3.5" muffler......good sound, and more flow than the 3" setup.
