Bit Stumped On My Exhaust

[Emerald_Z]

Alright, so Ive had 3 different set ups now, and am yet to be completely happy with any of them fml lol.

1) stock manifolds to magnaflow catback (cat removed)

It sounded good, but was just to quiet, I really liked the cackle the car made when you got on it and went to shift, had a nice decel sound to it.

2)stock manifolds to 3" magnaflow mid pipe to 3" spintech super pro street muffler

Again, sounded good, however I didnt like how the tone seemed ever more mellow when you go on the gas, and again still to quiet

3) My currenet set up is stock manifolds to 3" magnaflow mid pipe to a 3" sweet thunder muffler, dumped behind the drivers wheel

I like how it sounds for the most part, its not overly loud, but I may be looking for something a little quieter, and it just pops on decel which im not a fan of.

I do have a set of mac headers and 2.5" Y pipe that are yet to be installed, however those wont change the sound to horribly much, just a little louder.

What muffler set up do you guys suggest to get a nice aggressive tone with a nice decel sound to it, nice and rumble without being overly loud?

I am looking to stay away from true duals, Im looking to go duals out the back again as well, so just keep that noted.

I was thinking about going to a flowmaster 10 series with a high flow cat.

:confused:

I love how the LT Vettes sound with Corsa's unfortunately you can just buy corsa mufflers.

i struggled with the same sort of problemtill i got long tubes installed it made a huge difference.

Edit: now I see you dont want duals. My favorite single muffler setup was my flowtech aferburner. The single chamber will be loud and raspy.

Headers will change the sound and pitch of the exhaust. I liked the way mine sounded with a 3" Y pipe and a dumped 10 series Flowmaster. I;m using Flowmaster Outlaw series mufflers with an X pipe now and it's loud but it sounds good.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I looked through all 50 pages of youtube videos last night and was still left unhappy :(

I've noticed with every setup I've had that none of them sound the same in real life as they do on YouTube. I'm not sure the difference between the 9x10 magnaflows I'm running now vs the one that comes in the catback, but my duals SCREAM at wot and have a very nice clean time when cruising. They definitly aren't too quiet.

I think I may have actually found the perfect match today, never figured ide run a dynomax though lol
