Sometime back, there were some opinions posted on mufflers for V8 applications, but I suspect they are buried in some thread that a search didn't readily reveal.
I really like the idea of the dual inlet/dual outlet muffler such as used in '80's(?) Camaro's, but since my 6 speed transaxle is longer than the 901, that is not an option (no room). This basically leaves me with using two shorter type mufflers. There are several mufflers available that are 18" long oval types (22" pipe to pipe), but which is the best for the money? I don't want loud, but rather a nice performance sound; though not much muffling can happen at 18". Motor is an LS1 with Z06 headers, 2 1/2" pipes. Opinions?? Thanks, Andys |

I was in an exhaust shop the other day and I was asking the same questions.
I have a 5 speed gearbox in JLO. I wanted to go with a single dual in and dual out. Maganflow makes a shorter one, 14" with internal x over dual in dual out. That might not work for you?? I have had magnaflow on other V8s, they always seem to have a really good sound. They make enough different configurations that you can almost get what ever sound you want, throaty, raspy, loud or low and rumbly. The pic shows a dual muffler setup with the dual outlet in the middle ala Boxster. CCLINMAGNAMARIO Attached image(s)

That's my question, specifically which (if you can recall) Magnaflow gives which sound? They list quite a few. Andys |
