What mufflers should I get?

[97SHOgt]

Hey everybody. I want to replace the stock mufflers on my SHO and was wondering if anybody had some input on what I should get. I was thinking about Magnaflows, Flowmaster's, or Borla's. I plan on leaving the third cat because I read it creates some backpressure, and that is good for the V8. So what muffler would sound the best? would it be noticeable if I left the third cat? and does anybody know what size muffler I would need to get (inlet/outlet size, offsets, dimensions). Any input would be appreciated!

i am pretty sure the inlet and outlet are 2.25 in and are offset/offset

Thanks for the link about Flow's. Anybody have something similar about Mag's or Borla's?

 

[97SHOgt]

The only thing I don't like about the Flow's is the way they look, and the fact that you can see them fairly easily. I think I would like the sound though.

Here's a clip of my car with 'Flo-Pro' mufflers which are a stainless steel generic flow-master style.

I have a set of Flowmaster 40's on my car right not. They were cheap as **** and are starting to sound a little raspy.. I am going to try the Bullet's next time around.. alot of guys swear by them and they are stainless steel..

The only thing I don't like about the 40's is they have a pretty nice drone at freeway speeds..

if it asks you for a password its crixtopher, and tell me if it isn't working, for some reason I can get to it but it won't post right yet on cardomain

I too have the Flo-Pro's V-Force Series but with the 3rd cat and resonator removed. It sounds great, not to load when just cruising around but if you punch it then the secondarys open and makes for a nice little growl.

what are the size and offset for a gen2 atx?

 

[97SHOgt]

I think you guys are making my decision harder. All of these sound good but I'm starting to think I don't want Flow's. Keep the suggestions coming!

I just uploaded the new vid to google vids. will post link when it is published

EDIT: broken in

 

[97SHOgt]

JSIL1, do you know the details of your mufflers, sizes and everything, or easier yet the part number?

 

[shoteen95]

You don't need no stinkin mufflers. I wish I had a video of Tim's (SuperHO) car..well, his wife's car actually. Just nice straight tips stickin out from where the mufflers used to be. Sounded amazing, ofcourse I'm sure it would become quiet bothersome on long drives...

...heh, he actually said he wanted it to be louder

 

[97SHOgt]

I do a lot of highway driving, so I think I need to avoid staights. Bet it sounds mean though!

 

[JSIL1]

the part number is 40351. here's a link Borla website

I've got super 40 flowmasters on mine with no 3rd cat and an aftermarket resonator to take care of the rasp and the car just sounds just plain threatening...

 

[njsho38]

take out the 3rd it will make all the differnce.

The Silver Bullits are great, SS so they wear well and Don at DC Care Car is a great guy to get them from: http://www.dccarcare.com/

After my Rhino Mufflers rusted off in a few years (bought them in California, but Pennsylvania trashed them in 2 years), I needed a stainless model. Also wanted the great sound the Bullit's provide.
