I am having a 3" system, with cross-over made for me later this summer. I am going custom, as I am having a set of LT headers installed, and am going with random tech bullet cats. So, I have the cross over, cats, headers.. the last step is the mufflers.

So, I am looking for suggestions. I am thinking of going with Dynomax, but there are so many options, my head is kind of spinning. I want something that has some sound, but is not crazy loud (WOT, it can be as loud as can be.. but I want to be able to cruise around, without being noticed too much ). So, what mufflers would y'all suggest for this kind of application?

I thought NJ had a really strict emissions inspection. How are you going to get past that with LT headers?

Borla had an instalation station and booth at Bloomington Gold last month. I walked by their tent several times to find them doing a Show and Tell demo on how the mufflers sounded and looked. At idle they had a nice deep muscular sound. When the guy revved it to about 3,000 RPM it was just awesome!
Now of course this was on a C5 and C6 but I would think that a Chevy engine from any car might sound the same.
I have muffler elims and admit to being that kid who clipped playing cards to his bicycle spokes and rode around the neighborhood. Haven't changed - still like to bring in the noise!

Try muffler eliminators.
That's all I have on both of mine, both sound great
