Muffler suggestions? - Lateral-g Forums

I'm trying to figure out what to do for mufflers on the car. I'll be running 3" with an X-pipe. Lets hear some suggestions (no pun intended, lol).

I heard a set of spin tech's a year or so ago and nothing has sounded better IMHO.

Hey Scott, I have 2 1/2" Spintech's Sportsman series mufflers with the X pipe on my camaro and have had a LOT of positive comments with the sound. Hardly ANY interior resonance what so ever... I love 'em IMO!!!

I'll probably upgrade to the 3" when I get the motor back in and the rest of car done...

With my limited knowledge of mufflers a Spintech or Flowmaster type muffler would be too restrictive (backpressure) with your turbo system and that you would want a straight through design. Chambered like Prodigy would be cool or something from Borla.

He's not running turbos (at least for now!

). I've always had good luck with ultra flos.

I would think it would depend on what engine you have. For LSx engine, I also prefer Ultra Flows, I have them on my car and they sound great. Not loud or rumbly at idle but all that changes once you step on it.

Sean, as far as I know spintech is one of the most high flow mufflers around, unless there is something you know that I don't? Which is always possible by the way. But as far as I know, they flow more then most.

We have always used Flowmaster.

Keep in mind that what sounds good on a old-school small-block won't sound the same on an LSx engine.

I've had good luck with Magnaflows, However a set of Spintechs would be a deal to try out.

Do you want it to be as loud and angry as possible or more refined?

Steve, that's what I was thinking - the LS would change the sound a bit. I've done the Flowmasters, but I want to do something different. Spintech's are at the top of the list... with that said, I'd like a more late model sound. Something like the way Sandlin's Procharged ZO6 sounded at SEMA.
