I would like to see what removing all the insides will sound like. IIRC Jesse James did that on an el camino on Monster Garage one time. Should save you some $$$ if your on a budget. Might be a way to stick an electric cutout in there and mod it some to get it fit. If I had more free time id prolly try something like that just for fun. Im going to try something like that since im running a stock muffler on my car now.

I made 375rwhp through my hooker catback and 369 through my duals with spiral flows. 2 different dyno's on 2 different days though, but I never gained anything at the track even after a dyno tune either. Then again I made 430rwhp through them on a h/c lt1 so I can't see them being that restrictive on a true dual setup.

I know that My old spiral flows were among the best sounding mufflers at WOT throttle Ive ever heard on a car. But they sounded like a broke down pickup truck while cruising so I had to get rid of them.
That cutaway of the stock muffler is what I expected. I agree with whoever said that a crossflow muffler of any brand cant flow as much as a straight through single in single out muffler. Thats why I went with the Big ol pipe out the left style. Looks like an overgrown V6 from the back until I crank it up. lol. I like being able to see through my mufflers, then you know its not restricting anything.

That has to be one of the most restrictive mufflers I have ever seen. Does anyone know it the stock ones that came on the LS1's identicle to the ones used on the LT1's?

Holy ****. This has finally convinced me: that piece of junk needs to come off my car. Horrible.
Anyone ever try putting a Magnaflow muffler on their car? Just the muffler, not the catback. Saw it online for $90, seems like it's worth a shot. I really want a deep tone from my exhaust. That, and better flow, which from the looks of these pictures can't be that hard to achieve.

It has a nice throaty sound but is not loud or obnoxious.
I thought the fake muffler part people always joked about was muffler bearings?
