Default muffler selection question
Ok...I have an LS1 in a 95 Z-28 and I am running a texas speed Y-pipe no cats. Currently the car has a flowmaster. Not sure which one but it is just too loud. I'm looking for something that has that low rumble and opens up when you punch it but is still relatively quiet at cruise. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Not nec. looking for quiet...just controlled I guess. My 73 Z had headers and I put turbos on it...they were quieter but tended to blow out pretty quick. Is there a specefic magnaflow you would recommend?

The Best flowing and the quietest done by actual testing (sorry flowmaster guys) have been the Hooker Max Flow Mufflers.
