Question Quietest most free flowing exhaust?

When all is said and done with my car I want to try to keep it quiet. I want something that flows good and at the same time is "quiet." I'm thinking something like a Dynomax cat-back? Whatever it is, it's got to be a 3" or 3.5" cat-back. Because I will have an electric cut-out going on as well.



TIA

Hooker cat-backs are quiet at idle, but that's about it, lol.

So would everyone agree then that the Hooker system sounds better than the Magnaflow system? I've been eyeballin' the Magnaflow system. For a little bit more money, you get a stainless exhaust also.

IMO, the 2OTL is the most quiet and free flowing.

the Dynomax Ultra-Flo muffler I had on my I-pipe was actually pretty quiet for it being a straight through design (you can drop a tennis ball in one side and it will fall straight through). Typically quiet and good flow do not mix well though...definitely leave a stock style cat on, get a real muffler not a bullet or resonator.

Is 2OTL a brand name?

No, it is a nickname (two on the left) for the SLP exhaust with two outlets on the driver's side. http://www.slponline.com/view_produc...RTNUMBER=31010

Another nod here for the SLP 2otl. Great exhaust. Sounded great at idle then had a nice scream at WOT. I wish I had never got rid of it. But oh well, I got a LM now.
