loudest 1in-2out muffler?
Heres what im gonna be running, SLP 1 3/4 hedders, y pipe, NO CAT, 3 inch pipe all the way back, then im gonna need a 1in 2 out muffler than ill have 3" tailpipes. Right now it has a blowmaster and duel cats on it. Its WAYYY to QUIET. I'm going to see how much louder it is minus the cats first before i get a new muffler. But I want some recommendations. I really like the sound of magnaflow's but I dont know if itll be loud enough. Spintechs are another one I like, plus I heard they flow the best. Anyone got any recommendations? Sound clips of their rides?

I know I am gonna get flamed for saying this, but...
have you considered no muffler? I really think these cars have a nice tone without a muffler, plus the volume is directly related to how hard you are beating on the car!
With a louder muffler (like your flowmaster) you get a loud idle, quieter while driving, it drones at a certain RPM, and then gets louder again as you roll into WOT.
With straight pipes, you just get a quiet (probably quieter than the flowmaster) idle, and it gets louder as you get on the gas. Because without the chambers and baffles, you dont have the same resonant frequencys that the muffler will either work on, or make louder by echo.

i'd love to put straight pipes on but johnny law would probably give me a ticket, I could probably get away with it but I definetly wouldn't be able to drive into the suburbs!

The flowmaster 80 series is the loudest 1 in 2 out muffler I know of. Mine is pretty darn loud and I don't even have tips coming out the back.
