Best Sounding Muffler with Duals

Im undecided on which muffler I want to run on my car. I have hooker LTs to straight piping to 2 mufflers. The exhaust is going to be 3". I was thinking about using 40 series Delta Force Race mufflers but they sound a little weird. I was also looking at Dynomax Ulta Flow mufflers. Anyone have duals with a good sounding muffler? Let me know thanks.

The dynomax mufflers are really quiet, imo. The 40s series are a bit louder definetly.

I'd just put bullets on it and dump it.. or go with magnaflow mufflers.

The couple cars are heard with true duals and 40 series flowmaster mufflers sounded BAD ***.


I also have a movie of an LS1 with dual bullets, sounds sooooooo pissed off.

Seriously.. SPINTECH all the way. I had headers going all the way back with a 2 3/4" HIGH-FLOW catback system and had a 40 series Flowmaster running out to 3.5" chrome pipes. It sounded ALRIGHT (it was used so it was nice n broken in) - by alright I mean it was kinda raspy at higher RPMs but it was nice at idle and wasn't too loud on the highway - nice and deep though.

But then I added the spintech - wasn't really impressed at first because it sounded pretty similar if not weaker. Then I put on 5k.. that made a HUGE difference. Once the muffler opened up it started to scream. I live in Canada so I had it sent from California to NY but it was worth the 6 hour drive and $180 dent - no questions asked.

If you're debating Spintech vs well anything - go with Spintech. It's a great design with an even greater sound and amazing flow.
