quiet yet good flowing mufflers
Hey guys, call me crazy but i'm looking for some catback that is VERY quiet, like quieter than stock if possible. I know this is crazy but i want something to flow well but also be quiet if i can have my cake and eat it to. I'm probably doing electric cut outs when i really want to make some noise but just thought i would get your opinions about the subject. i may or may not be planning a H/C package that i want to go undetected....

I know this, that's why the increased noise from H/C i want to be offset by quiet mufflers to be "undetected" i.e. not everyone knows I have H/C. Second there has to be SOMETHING that flows better than stock mufflers yet is no louder like some exhaust with 3in piping and madrell bends that is equally as quiet. maybe the Ti is the way to go...

Boy thats the truth.. You know the term QUIET and LOUD are very opinionated. To some bullets are too quiet. To a couple, the stock OEM muffler is too loud.
The only muffler/ CAT Back that I would recommend "which has already been recommended" is the OEM ZO6 Ti system. Once you Enlarge the pipe to 3", that automacicly says louder! So that plan is out!
Your looking for something that probably doesnt exist but,,,,,you will probably have to settle for the Ti muffler.

I am running then with 640 RWHP and 540 RWTQ and they are quiet along with my LT headers
You should be able to pick up a set for around $400 + shipping
Thanks,Matt

Magnaflows in my experience are the quietest best flowing mufflers. Get the Magnaflow tubes and some Magnaflow resinators. Both are straight through and will provide a quiet tone and great flow
