My Dynomax was supercheap and I enjoy the rumble.......although it may not have enough of the sound that you are looking for.
In that case - just add a cutout!

I just got a Random Tech catback... I love it! It has a really deep rumble to it, but it isn't too loud. I was either going to get a Loudmouth, or the Random Tech but figured the Loudmouth might get a little too loud with headers and an ORP.

Ollie,

I have the LM on an LT1 and I love the sound. It is an easy install as well.

If you just want to replace the muffler, I still have that flowamaster muffler I will sell with the tailpipes allready welded up and ready to install the stock tips. It has about 5000 kms on the muffler and it looks like new. We could throw it on your car farily quickly and see if you like it.

I'm going to put duals on my car this winter w/cats so I can pass Air-scare...At that time my Borla and Mufflex Y-pipe will be for-sale

However: For the right price, I could sell now

Andy, why won't the Borla and Mufflex y-pipe pass? How will a dual setup allow you to pass?

I also have a Borla (I've had it on the car for the past 6 years), and love it! I've yet to grow tired of the sound

The Mufflex is dual 3" going into a 4" collector (with Hooker Long tubes). In the area where the 3" tubes are located, there is no room for cats and by the time you get to the front part of the catback which is the first possible location for a cat, I figure the exhaust gasses will have cooled too much for it to be effective.

You can squeeze some cats in the Mufflex y-pipe but ground clearence after that is even worse I had to tackle the same problem this winter Andy and found it was better just to switch to the SLP headers than try to make the long tubes pass air care. Although with your heads and cam the Long Tubes are much more beneficial and the true duals will make for a very nice exhaust note

Hooker all the way!! Great price, great sound, quad tips.
But the tips do tend to rust you don't take care of them properly or get lazy, like me.
