MUFFLERS HELP

My muffler deletes made at a shop were $80.00. That included the 18" x 4" chrome tips. The 4" tips fit the bumper cutout real nice also. We tried different tips until there was a good sound. They are clamped on so I can re-install the factories if wanted. I see no sense in paying the big bucks for something so simple unless you just have to have the "name".

I was going to buy either SLP loudmouths or Boomtubes, but then I got the winning bid on ebay for a new set of magnapacks. I paid only $307 w/shipping. I have yet to receive them, so can't comment on the sound. From what I have read, there seems to be a love hate with the SLPs. Listening the them on videos, the sound terrible with L/T and are too obnoxious IMO with O/R H or X pipe. They sound okay with the stock H-pipe. Boomtubes might be a better choice. They are less expensive than boomtubes, but IMO sound better.

I have mac axle back and off road x-pipe and it's loud...raspy but loud.

If you want loud you gotta lose the catalytic converters that's pretty much a given. Then from there pick the less restrictive thing you can find.

That's strictly sound of course.

If you just want it louder, pick up an off road pipe. Honestly, I don't like the sound of muffler deletes. There's nothing really shaping the exhaust sound. Just sounds like you've got a hole in your muffler, to me.

Using a larger tip as I did on the muffler delete really changes the tone. Several try to compare the sound with just removing the mufflers and starting the car. That sounds bad. I tried a couple different tips to get a good sound.

Agreed, completely. I started out with SLP LMS. I liked it at first than hated it. My buddy got a muffler delete from a local muffler shop with some long slash cut tips and it sounds amazing !! I've got Magnaflow Magnapacks now and love them.

I am picking up my maganpacks tomorrow. Did you put on a X-pipe or keep the H-pipe? I know drone is subjective but is it as bad as some people say?

I've got the factory H Pipe. Drone isn't too bad. It's there, especially on the highway, but I'm used to cars being loud.

I may have to get use to drone again. My flows had it, but the JBAs were almost non existent.
