ap2002 why worry about a muffler when you have the cut out lol, your truck sounds good now, you just need to work it better then you have it we were kinda confused about the set up lol

the Aerochamber is a straight thru muffler. If you take for example a 3"I/O on centers you can see straight through it, no baffles, yet its still a chambered muffler. The offset inlet & outlets you can't see straight through due to the internal case design, but they are a straight thru setup, especially if you go with a center in/center out.

BTW-they do make a single in/dual out

They will flow as well as or better than any other muffler will.

On the offset, you can see through it, but obviously, since it's looking through it an an angle, it's not a straight shot. The center in/out would be a straight shot, but it's still baffled.

I got a sound clip in my sig for the Aero Chamber.

well, that sound clip just made my mind of what muffler to use. Aerochamber it is, I had them on my lt1 car with lt's and 3" duals, sounded wicked and different, so thats what my truck gets. Only if i could get it running right

ok that clarify's alot, I will be getting the 3"centerin/3"centerout...
I actually love the way the Borla sounds but I guess I just want a change in sound, and eversince I heard Flyer's clip months ago I've just been wanting to change... so Im going to go ahead and do it...

yeah kevin, I have a cutout but only like how it sounds @ idle and @ WOT... other than that the raspiness kills it... I'll have the cutout for the track about the exhaust setup its a long story...lol.. lance asked about it too!!

lotzafun & w41quad4 - yes, they have a single in/dual out but it is a 2.5"inlet/outlets in a small case.... that's why Im jus going with the 3"in/3"out
