True Duals & Mufflers

Been wanting to do this for some time now. So here's the game plan, I'm redoing the whole exhaust, I'm getting rid of the shorty headers and selling them to my buddy. Also, of course, dumping the Y-Pipe and 3in pipes and Flowmaster exhaust in favor of something new.

Here's the game plan, I'm going to run Heddman Longtubes, 2.5in pipes, either H/X-Pipe, Mufflers, and then turndowns. But what mufflers to go with? The car isn't an everyday driver, so I can get away with being a little extra 'loud', but I don't want anything hillbilly loud, like glasspacks or something, and I definately don't want to do Flowmaster, I'm tired of the sound and everyone has Flowmaster. Also, I don't feel like spending the money on GMMG exhaust or Borla.

I only need mufflers, not a complete exhaust, I've been eyeing the Dynomax Bullet mufflers but heck, they are pretty freakin loud, that's why their racing mufflers. I want something that is near same size as Bullet mufflers as I can hide them better and less chance of dragging them.

I want something with good, tough sound, I want it to be heard at idle and really roar when at full-throttle, but like I said, nothing absolutely nuts, if I was looking for all-out loud, I'd just run open headers. Would you recommend bullets or is there something else out there you'd really enjoy for true dual exhaust?

Heddman's are what I've always used, or is there something else out there that you would honestly recommend over the Heddman's... being realistic with price and what the benefits are. Thanks Guys!

i am redoing my exhaust as well. I am not sure as to how everyone is running true duals. I am going to go with the dynomax bullets. If someone could show me a pic of how to run the exhaust it would be great.

Iroc350kid can definately get you pointed in the right direction there, he has true duals with Bullet mufflers. His stuff is unbelievable loud and mean sounding, but he's also got a stalled up and cammed out 383.

Im very happy with my Magnaflow round stainless mufflers, they flow great, sound really good at idle, and when you hit WOT it absolutely screams. I had flowmasters before, but wasnt happpy, so I took them off and threw them in the trash and welded on the magnaflows.

Get Spintech mufflers!! Best sounding muffler I've ever heard and they are not expensive. Here's my Camaro when I had my Spintechs, the video does not do it justice!

Hey TooFatz, you have any internal engine work done? Sounds excellent, someone else on TGO recommend Spintech, though I never heard of them. Roughly how much do just two mufflers go for?

I've got a small cam If I recall correctly, it was ~$120 for both and I got them from a guy off ebay that sells new Spintech's. You can choose any size opening/exit and they just have baffles in them, so there is no packing or anything to wear out. They'll last for ever! http://www.spintechmufflers.com/spin...ntechindex.asp

Brandon, I'd take your word over any other, you think the Bullets are louder than the Spintech's? You know me, what do you think I'd enjoy more with those Heddman headers?

I have DynoMax Bullets .. I mean they are small,round and seen to give the best ground clerance over any chambered muffler that I have ran .. I love Spintechs but I also love my Bullets (and the Bullets are cheaper ) I'm not a budget builder but if I find something cheaper and works really good then I'll get it when building I try to save some cash so I can get more stuff if you know what I mean ... but anywho ... If you get Bullets they are just an awsome raw tuff tone and wait till you put it to the floor at wide open throttle ... its like open headers with just a hair of muffle

Bout what about the Spintech's, are they noticeable quieter than Bullets? Maybe quieter but heck of a lot louder than like a plain jane Flowmaster system like I have now?

I had the same system (never used it as the 2 1/4" was to small for my set up) but a nice one for the bucks
