Default Spin tech mufflers

Has any one out there using spin tech mufflers and how do you like them and is there alot of resonance at cruise speed?

Thanks in advance.

A buddy of mine has spintechs on his LT1 camaro. I like the way they sound. They are really loud at WOT! He went to a hooker longtube, and X pipe and true duals with dumps and it dropped him from a 13.7 to a 13.02 (I drove the car on both passes)
I want to change my setup to true duals and 16" borla XR1's :cool:

Everything is as good as flowmaster. Flowmaster is one of the most restrictive "performance" mufflers on the market.

I haven't heard them in person, but I've heard a couple thirdgen and fourth-gen f-body sound clips that blew me away. They have a very crisp, deep sound.

You can’t compare a F-Body muffler to a Corvette due to the fact that the muffler exits to a 4” tip and the F-body has a long tailpipe after the muffler. Regardless the Spintech is the worst sounding muffler I have ever heard on a Corvette bar none. They are also very restrictive. Anyone who has ever heard one in person on a Corvette will know what I am talking about.
It's not that big of a difference. I've heard enough Vettes and f-bodies to know that they still have a similar sound with similar exhausts. I'd also be interrested in knowing what makes the spintech so restrictive. From the looks of it, there doesn't seem to be as much of a maze for the air to travel through as in a flowmaster.

You're right. I have no idea on what I am talking about :rolleyes: The camaro had dumps right before the rear axle. PS, I know the difference between an F body and a Y body....thanks for the insight though.....have a nice day :seeya

I imagine the spintechs will resonate quite a bit. My Tpis catback, which utilizes flowmasters, is extremely loud and quite annoying on the highway. I intend on selling the catback and running 3" true duals into Borla XR1's. I think power will pick up slightly and it will have more of a unique sound.....too many flowmasters out there!
