I need some suggestions for a muffler for my 6.2. The Spintech is retarded loud and although I love the sound, it isn't going to work out. I really hate to do Magnaflow, but I need something that is going to be a little tamer when on the throttle than this. I've been looking at the 22" Magnaflow but I just think that's going to be a little too quiet. Need opinions here guys... Gonna try to get one ordered and weld it up before SAR.
i hear the Corsa Sports are really nice
why dont you put a resonator, bullet muffler to quiet it down some, i think it sounds sick the way it is
I just cut the resonator (or whatever's at the end of the tailpipe) off. I just let it dump there. Sounds good to me for stock, but mine is more of the family truck (until the wife get an SUV) so, it doesn't need to be too loud.
Get a cherry bomb :lol:
Why not go with an 18" Magnaflow? Also, do you not like Flowmasters? The Cherry Bomb Vortex muffler sounds pretty good. It's not "tin can" sounding like Flowmasters. It actually resembles the sound of Magnaflows, but not quite as burbly. Also, the Hooker Aerochambers sound good. That's what Holley put on their 67 shop truck with the LS3.
Yeah, looking at 300$ for one of those and that is out of the question. I'm not paying 300$ for a muffler.Quote:

If I can get this Spintech sold for a decent price (it has like 200 miles on it) I would buy the 18" Magnaflow right now.Quote:

IMO, magnaflow is the best as far as performance and sound. But you're right, they tend to be a little quiet, but get a shorty one and it'll sound nice, but not too country.
My vote is for the 22" Magnaflow. I've got that exact muffler on my truck, in a 3" SI/SO configuration. It was quiet at first but got louder with time. Sounds awesome under load, but decently quiet on the highway.
Here's a quick vid for reference, and mine is through a stock 5.3, so guaranteed yours will be a lot louder than mine.

Just get the 22". It's what I have to
I may have to just do that. I hate to get on the bandwagon though.
Brotha Im in the same boat you are in! At cruise nice and quiet, but screams at WOT. Hard to find.
damnyankee had a vid of borla pro xs mufflers, sounded good. i also have a borla pro xs muffler on my 99 silv. just as loud as magnaflows but a different tone. sounds good, but would sound alot better on your truck with LTs, no cats, 3.5" pipe.
I just orderd me a Flowmaster super 10 1 chamber. I love the way they sound.

I run 2 3" in/out Super 44 Flowmaster mufflers w/ 3" dual pipes dumped at the back of the mufflers b4 the diff. also w/ 5.3. You say their restrictive, I bought them b/c I thought they were free flowing. How restrictive are they?
Any chambered muffler such as the Flowmasters are more restrictive than a straight through design.
If ur looking at getting a magnaflow let me know
Oh OK, thanks. That does make sense, I didn't know the Magnaflow were a straight through design. Now I see what the debate is between the 2. I hope the flows aren't too restrictive I sure do love the sound from the long tubes, no cats and 3" duals.
Do you have a 3.5"?Quote:

That doesn't help... it still restricts to 3" lol. Shawns old 3" Magnaflow may end up being used as a resonator. I bought a 12" Cherry Bomb for it today to put in front of the spintech as a resonator.
This magna flow is one of shawns old ones too
Emmerich with duals you should be fine by comparison Flowmaster doesn't flow as much as say magnaflow but it will still flow more than enough for you especially in a dual setup. A simple flowmaster single 3in would likely not flow enough for pl4yboy's needs.
my vote is Borla Pro xs...i've gone through flowmaster super 44, magnaflow 14in and 22in and now this one and its by far the best....its got a nice low quieter tone on the highway and with the pacetters and no cats when at WOT it gets loud...i have it running out the back and into a 5in tip thats turned down by the spare tire and when its pulling real hard accelerating it sounds almost like a dmax not the redneck popping at all lol ive gone through countless threads, video posts and youtube videos before i broke down and bought this muffler and it is definatly the best one ive had
x2 borla pro xs , since you want a straight through muffler borla pro xs are straight through and have a different tone. my truck and my dads are completly stock he has magnaflow and i have borla, mine is a little louder and deeper. i think youll like it. give it a try since you dont want magnaflow. both are awesome mufflers.
Ordered a 12" cherry bomb to put in front of this spintech. If it doesn't quiet it down or change the sound to my liking, I have a Magnaflow on ebay that I need to pay for. Made an offer for a brand new 22" at 120$ with free shipping and the guy accepted.
Dynomax ultraflo welded muffler. Heard a few on youtube and they sound pretty good.
