Default What muffler are you using with your CME?

Just wondering what people are running. Right now I am running a LM1 and it is WAY to raspy now that I have a h/c 370 w/ a D1SC. Any opinions on what I should switch too that would have a nice crisp sound? I was thinking a magnaflow muffler, but I dont know if that would work well with the CME. I like the SLP dual/dual. Or should I swap to a moroso spriral flow resonator?

You can do nearly anything with CME tips...case in point, I run true duals with Magnaflow bullets that I absolutely love.

If you want to get rid of the raspyness, you'll need about the largest muffler you can fit, especially if you don't have cats, but you'll probably also take a small loss in power. No free lunches with this one...even my duals with no cats has a little rasp to it at 2800 RPMs under heavy load.

From what I've heard the magnaflow or a corsa muffler with a bullet welded into the I-pipe sound the best...
