Default Quieting down exhaust
The drone, and general noise of my exhaust system is really tiresome. Post LS3 swap the loudness is really obnoxious. The plan is to install a pair of the longest resonators available (somewhere I saw 24-26" is ideal) in the middle of the system to cut the drone out, and place two dynomax super turbo mufflers at the back of exhaust, just before the tips to shut the car up.

I want to really tone down the car. Thoughts?

I would either install twin turbos, or use Tesla mufflers. Those cars are QUIET!

All kidding aside, I like my Borla XSPro’s. Zero drone, sound great putting around, and when you open it up, they make music.

I shot an email over to Borla. The idea of using long resonators in the middle, and some turbo style mufflers at the back is the direction I'm leaning.

I spent a lot of time listening to sound clips on YouTube. Sounds hokey, but I figured out what I liked and didn’t like from actual running and driving vehicles.

Use your Magnaflow round muffs as resonators up front. Add Magnaflows, the biggest oval turbo or 3 chambers you can fit, in the back where the round ones were.
