Default Feeling the itch to swap mufflers again

I still love my magnaflow, but since I've got a little bit of extra money right now, I'm thinking about something new.

I want a muffler that will sound good with a 3" tailpipe and small tip. No more turn downs.

I know a lot of people are gonna say Corsa, and I agree, but the $$$ isn't there for that unless I can get a steal on one. So for you guys running tail pipes, what muffler are you using?

I also want to be able to hear the cam profile through the muffler, the magnaflow is alright, but it muffles the sound too much.

No flowmaster or spintech suggestions, already ran those before.

Something like this, I think this is an aero turbine

The SLP sounds good, was running one on my 07 with stock mani's and cats for the longest time. With LT's and ORY I think it would be obnoxious.

I switched to a single in/out Magnaflow Race muffler 5"x8"oval body 6" long, dumped. Has a really good sound to it. No real loud at idle but opens up @ WOT.

Aerochambers sound good too, only thing I didn't like was it seemed like the outer body started rusting up pretty soon after installing it.

Oh and the muffler in the vid you posted is an Aero Turbine muffler. I think thats Edgars truck, he posted the clip a few months ago, definitely sounds tough.

Borla XR-1...im going to run two of those when i do my cam swap. I agree, magnaflows sound great but they do muffle the exhaust lope quite a bit, especially at idle.

Hoping to get off work tomorrow, but if not then Tuesday or Wednesday. Sorry it's taken so long, had a lot of work and school stuff and haven't had a chance to come back down to Arlington.

i got a hooker aerochamber with a 22 inch long case, 3 inch offset inlet/outlet and it sounds great. dont sound like no "lumber truck" when taking off like most others. i bought 2 thinking i could fit both, couldnt and have a brand new spare one. will sell for $65 shipped or consider trades.
