Default picking out a bullet muffler for now

On my '95 I currently have shorty headers, down the factory Y pipe, a cutout, and into the factory I-pipe...and no muffler...LOUD as ****, and I planned on throwing on GMMG this spring but plans and budgets have changed, so for now, I am looking for a muffler to throw in the stock pipe to quite it down for now until the budget gets back under control...

I plan on retaining the Shorties, cutout, and stock Y pipe for now. So remember, I'm just doing one muffler for now...

What are your guys thoughts on brands of bullet style mufflers? Anything I should avoid or look for specifically?

Hey:

Moroso spiral flows are pretty good, and come in stainless steel as well.

I LOVE the sound of my Magnaflow bullet!!


Sent the spiral flow back...sounded ok but felt like there was a lot of restriction....They say they are ok for true duals but cant handle the flow from a Y pipe setup....

I run Summit Bullet's on my daily driver car. It's actually real quiet and idle and low RPM's, then opens up on WOT. It has walls similar to a GMMG muffler, but packing behind the wall baffles. You can run them loud or quiet. I think they are $20 each. I did my duals with them for $130 total.

Classic chambered powerstick here, dumped off my mufflex y pipe with 3 to 4inch flowmaster merge. Not as loud as a regular bullet and sounds great.
