i currently have long tube headers, x-pipe, and flowmaster 40series on my car. but i was wondering if there are any mufflers out there that sound better than flowmasters?

x pipes, makes chambered mufflers raspy, you can basically go two routes, you can change to a glasspack style muffler- LM2, magnapacks, and be REALLY loud or swap out your midpipe for an H or prochamber, the H will be less raspy but still have a pretty noticable drone, and the prochamber will deepen it out and have almost no drone...here is an example- O/R prochamber and mac flowpaths(chambered mufflers)

That's just boring, IMO (no offense at all). I think with the OP's setup, Bassani mufflers would sound amazing. I would suggest LM1s, but everyone here seems to hate them and it might be a little too over the top for the guy.

I don't think that sounds bad. It sounds like my MagnaPacks with the stock catted "H" pipe. I think an o/r "H" pipe would make my MagnaPacks sound even louder.

I still set off car alarms and at idle I don't worry about the cops pulling me over but when I step on it it's nice.
