Default Your muffler of choice to replace SLP muffler? (pics)

The SLP 2 on the left muffler is beyond fixing as you can see from the pics. So I need one. Magnaflow was recommended by a few people but don't see any on their website that have a 3" inlet in the middle. I definetly would like to keep the twin pipes. How about Flowmaster, Dynomax, or Borla?

if you have to have it exactly like that, then this hooker should work

Otherwise I'd go with a 3" in/out borla down the center and have just one tail pipe and put the ebay corsa tips on it

I would say go with the Magnaflow #12588 listed by Birdie2000, or a Borla #40349, or possibly a Dynomax #17228, all are in stainless steel.
If you like the chambered muffler sound you can also go with a Flowmaster Super44 #8430452 in Stainless steel, or 9430452 in Black aluminized steel.

BTW, what's the length on your SLP muffler case?
The Magnaflow has the longest case length of all them listed(#12588 is 22").

Okay, the Dynomax #17228(about $110) has a 14" case length, an Hooker Aero Chamber #21518HKR (about $83) has a 14" case along with a Magnaflow #12198 (about $93).

BTW, the Hooker is aluminized steel, not S.S..

The two FM's listed are a little shorter but will work, they have 13" cases, there about $90 for the S.S. and $70 for A.S..

Oops, didn't catch that, although their standard F-body mufflers are 18" case length so you could probably fit a bigger muffler in there. No matter what you use, you might have to redo the tailpipes a little since the outlets on that SLP muffler look like they're spaced pretty close together compared to other mufflers.

Put a 3 inch inlet Y at the end of the over the axle pipe with two-2 1/2 inch oulets and use two Powersticks inline with your two SLP 2OTL tail pipes. I bet that would sound good!

Ive ran a Pypes racepro single in single out and liked it. It was raspy in the midrange rpms though, but sounded great at idle and WOT. The inside should be very similar to your SLP muffler.

Yeah, I think that it would be a good sounding exhaust, about like the GMMG. It just seems that it may be difficult for the OP to find a muffler that will fit, especially with the spacing of the two outlets to get the 2OTL tailpipes to fit.

This might be it. Very similar to the design of the SLP. Straight pipes with glasspack surrounding it.
