I have the flopro HD muffler - dual 3" in / single 3" out, no cats and ASM headers. Its a little more noisy in the 1600 rpm range than I want, but I want stealth. Thats partly because of not having cats. Under accel or cruising speeds, its just as quiet as the stock muffler. Overall, I like it. I may put cats back on to tone down the idle. Don't get me wrong, its not as loud as a flowmaster or anything. Just a mean burble.

I have gone thru dam near as many mufflers as Y2K silverado.With the recommendation of magnaflow tech from this board I went with a 5x8 x22",that thing was unbearably loud,enough to make blood come out your ears,this was with no cats.That was on less than a week.Went with a HD flopro duel in single out,very happy with that but a little resonance with no cats.I did recently put my HD cats back on,its perfect for me and plan to leave it.My buddy did a duel in/out HD flowpro on a H&C denali with AZ speeds duel out each side,its very tame and no resonce,perfect for a sporty SUV.

I did the same thing with the bullets to my dual magnaflows dumped after I took off the cats. I thought the bullets would make up for the increased noise from !cats but in only helped marginally. However I noticed my tone actually got deeper. I am about over the loudness myself. I think simply exiting mine out from under the truck would do wonders.

I just talked to a different exhaust shop and the guy told me that a lot of mufflers will sound noise in the cab with the LQ9. But he told me that if I wanted that deep sound that I should stay with magnaflow and just get a bigger muffler. The muffler that he recommended to me was the 5" x 11” 145793” in/out length 22" overall 28".

But when you would get out on the highway and be traveling at around 70mph it was just to noise in the cab. So I figured if I put in another muffler in front of what I had before it would help with that highway noise. Now it does not sound near as deep at ideal or low speeds and when you are accelerating it has a rasp to it now and at highway speeds it is a little quieter but it is still to noise for my liking. So now I am back to square one of picking out a new muffler. So far the options that I have come up with are getting a bigger magnaflow muffler, or trying a different brand of muffler. The other brands that I have come up with are Bassani or B&B.
Basically I want a deep sound at idea and around town cursing speeds but at highway speeds I want it to tone out and not be to noise in the cab. Does anyone have any ideas?
