Default Which would be the best exhaust out of these?

I got a 98 trans am with a D1SC 10psi, I am getting American racing headers 1 7/8 with catted y-pipe, now I am wondering if, Magnaflow, SLP Loudmouth, or True Duals would be the best flowing and most beastly sound.

Thanks for your input.

TD's. have any idea of what mufflers you'd go with? if you want beastly id recommend flowmaster 10 series or short to medium length powersticks.

Would true duals bolt up pretty easy with ARH? I didn't know there was no muffler that came with true duals ha. Gotta look that up now.

I would go with GMMG. They sound the best IMHO.

I'd run the TD's with Magnaflow bullets... I had that setup before and it sounded like a beast! Do a search in the media section or on youtube and you'll find some examples to help you decide.

true duals, no y pipe catback will sound anywhere near as good/mean

lm1 sounds pretty awful, it's loud as hell but raspy and part throttle it sounds like a low flying cessna or a bass boat

True Duals no questions asked. But if you want to hear Corsa, this is my setup, before speedshop installs Kooks headers.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoJkIGyf4vE

I live in IL so we pretty much have the same emissions just get the true duals they are the best sounding find yourself a good speed shop get a tune and you will pass emissions with flying colors

definitely go with true duals. i am running 3" duals dumped with dynomax bullets and love it. Its really not that loud at all even with a small 230 cam that i have.

I just got rid of magnaflow for duals and magnaflow is not even in the same sentance.

Ok so I think I am going to go with American Racing Headers 1 7/8 since I got a procharger, and true duals, the true duals just bolt to headers correct? or would I need a y-pipe in there and the true duals would connect to the y-pipe?

They should just bolt right up to the headers. No Y-pipe needed.
