Default What muffler should I get?

I am wanting to REALLY quiet my car down, it's stupid loud right now. That's coming from someone who thought they could never be to loud.....I proved myself wrong haha. So I really don't know what muffler to get to replace my SLP loudmouth 1. I don't know for sure what all will fit there that will quiet it down.

I thought about putting the stock catback back on, but I don't think I want to go that far with it haha.

Video's would be nice, but I can search myself too, I'm just trying to get a couple different ideas to check out.

I put a Borla xr-1 on my Loud mouth setup it quieted it down a decent amount. Otherwise your options are quite limited due to space

+1 on the borla. I heard a car with one and it sounded mean but not quite as obnoxious as the loudmouth "resonator".

I'm lookin to just put a "bullet" style or whatever it's called pipe in like the slp, I don't think there is enough room for a regular sized muffler.. I like how the borla and aerochambers sound, don't think I've heard a magnaflow with similar setup.

I went & got a 22" Cherrybomb Bullet from autozone, its 3"x 3" inlet/outlet, 4" round, it has a great sound & surprizeingly quit for a short glasspack, at idle you can barely hear it, i have LTs & no cats, i took off my Magnaflow cat, this cherrybomb has a lower tone & seems much quiter then the Magnaflow, great ground clearance too, i'll take some pix & post them later, heck the mufflers only 30.00 bucks, they also have one thats 4" longer.

I was thinking about doing that, just going to advance auto parts and get one and call it a day. I was just gonna take it to midas but they're not very knowledgeable with that area it seems like. Atleast here.. Thanks for the help guys. For the time being I'll probably go the cheap route just to avoid cops, then after that, if the sound sucks I may go to the borla or aerochamber.

hop on youtube or streetfire and type in lt1 hooker or magnaflow or whatever brand and im sure somethin will pop up. Even check on ls1sounds they have the lt1's on there sometimes, or fquick. i checked last night for myself and you can find decent vids sometimes but usually shitty cameras are used. Good luck on whatever you go with though.

Magnaflow or Hooker catback are very popular selling systems for us

We have also installed the Xr1 as mentioned and it sounds really good.

if you can find a used SLP dual/dual that would be my suggestion

I have the same setup as you with Magnaflow and its pretty tame until you rip on it so thats something I would highly suggest not to mention the tone is pretty incredible especially compared to LM.

I liked the sound of yours. How is that setup cruising on the freeway?
