If you are looking for the loudest exhaust, then the dynomax isn't what you want. I have it on my Formula 350, and with the windows up you can here more of the motor, than the exhaust. Even with the windows down it's just now starting to become loud enough to hear. I've had it three or four years now, and two of them were with out the converter on, and it still wasn't that loud then. It sounds nice though, but its more like what the factory fourth gen SS's sound like. If you want loud check out GMMG's chambered exhaust, just don't be drinking anything when you look at the price. $700 The Dynomax SS cat back cost me 250 with tax and all.

Has anyone tried using a dynamax race bullitt and then a y into 2 tips, sorta like a SLP loudmouth? I've been thinking about trying this for a while, but didn't know how it would sound.

that is the same idea i had...run 3 inch mandrel bend tubing, with a single 3 inch dynomax bullet muffler, no cats, then a y pipe at the end with dual 3 1/2 inch tips...I got a quesiton abotu exhaust tips too, does it make a difference the size of your exhaust tips? Becuase I was thinking abotu running something like the corvette has, like 4 3inch or 4 2.5 inch tips all grouped together in the middle of the back tucked in a cutout, or would I get a deeper throatier sound with dual 3 1/2 or possibly dual 4 1/2's.

SLP headers to a 3" 40 Series Delta Flow Flowmaster dumped before the axle. Doesn't sound like it would be loud would it? It is. A cutout also which I haven't played around with yet. I'm guessing with nitrous it would make more power by NOT going thru a 3" muffler. Time and testing will tell. Goodluck! I like the Hooker cat backs for many reasons. Price, sound, and quality are a few to name.

Dynomax should make a better cat back. Something with JUST a Race Magnum and options like a Bullet R/M, a round welded or a larger welded R/M, multiple bullets, etc......good 3" or 3.5" optional Mandrel bends, etc. WHY don't they do this?

I have hooker headers into the flowmaster force II single in/out system and its kinda raspy even with heads/cam. The hooker is a much smoother sound, but if I were to do it again you bet your *** I'd be running an SLP 2-on-the-left 4th gen system modified for a 3rd gen.

does elimnating the cats and having an off road pipe in place make it louder or just more raspy? also, why does everyone seem to have 80 series flos... i was always under the impression that the 40 series was the loudest of all flowmasters...

yea flowmaster 40 series are the loudest of the flowmaster...i have no idea why so many people run 80's, probably because they are quite when your driving normal, but bark pretty good when you tromp on the gas. NO CATS=LOUDER...i still want to know more about those bullet mufflers...anybody have some input?

i run true duals, through dual cats, through 2 chambered mufflers. If you want loud and mean chambered mufflers are the way to go. Dont completly understand how they work all i know is that all they really do is cancel out the high tones. I have no doubt in my mind that my car is not street legal and its borderline too loud but it sounds soo cool and is just soo awesome lol. I had twice last summer where i was just sitting idleing and threw out a big rev and someone quite literally jumped they were so scared. This is on a stock 350 tpi

i don't really care if mine is loud or not, but it would be nice to have it get really loud...I would rather have a really low, deep, throaty rumble, so it doesn't sound all cheap...I am probably going to run dauls, with side exit exhaust through a cutout in the fiberglass right before the rear tires..Has anybody done this? I would love to see some pictures on how it turned out. I am getting real frusterated on picking out an exhaust because I don't want to get some mufflers, than have it too quite, but i don't wanna get something that is really loud, like straight pipes, then get in trouble every day with the cops? Would the bullet mufflers really be that loud...I was also considering running dual turbo mufflers, but I'm afraid those would be too quite..i need some knowledgeable advice.

I have a 350 camaro. I am looking for an exhaust that wakes the dead almost. As loud as possible. The more interior noise the better. I dont want to spend a whole lot of money on a whole exhaust system tho... like headers, cats, and muffler... just probably mufflers and piping. I want it to come out to dual in the back. What do you guys think... what would be the loudest and most cost effective.

I'm running SLP 1 3/4 headers into Random Technology cats and then into a Mufflex 3 1/2" catback with a Spintech muffler with 3" dual outlets. Nice and deep at an idle gets loud at wot.
