What is a good true dual muffler?

Hi, i recently hooked up my tsp x system with bullets and kooks headers up to my car. I have no emisions or cats and the vibrations are getting annoying. What would be some good mufflers to quiet this thing down and stop the vibrations without compromising any flow or HP?
Thanks,
Jeff

Sweet thunder mufflers sound awsome. They're not the quietest, but my setup doesn't rattle around. Are you using rubber muffler hangers?

The hangers are like a cube of rubber wrap inside the metal hanger. Does anyone know if pointing the the tips away from the ground would make a noticeable difference in the noise?
Thanks

if you really want to quiet it down, turn your tips away from the ground to the side and run an extention to run in front of the tire.
once you get the sound away from under your car it will be real quiet except for the roar comming out the side

Yeah just turn them a bit so that they point sorta sideways instead of just strait down.

Spiral flows run out the back under the axle here. Not too loud at all inside the car, no drone or anything.

magnaflow 4x9" straight throughs....turned my cammed/LT/no cat car into a ***** cat at idle.

you can hear the lope of the engine over the tone of the mufflers.

they still flow great, are stainless, and and compact (same thickness as bullets)

Re: What is a good true dual muffler?

I have Flowtech Afterburners and I don't get really any extra noise. The problem is they're so big, that I'm having ground clearence problems that I'm going to have a muffler shop try and fix.

Dynomax ultra flows or Magnaflows.

I have magnaflows on my duals but had to "massage" the floor.

My friend has those on his car and they scrape on the highway through dips. They are teh same thickness as a bullet, but you can't tuck them up in the tunnel like a bullet style muffler. And his car sounds too buzzy with them.
