mufflers

Alright, I have a '90 IROC 350 with true dual exaust. Headers will be installed towards the end of the summer probably. But right now I need new mufflers. I don't know what to go with.

At idle I don't want them to be too loud, but I want it to be noticable if you are standing near the car. When I step on it, I want it to turn a few peoples heads, but not the whole block. Just want it to sound nice and deep. Any suggestions?

I would spend the extra money and go with Ravin. Flows are to over used. Don't worry you will hear go with hooker as well.

With duals, room might be an issue, I like the Hooker Aero Chamber. Sound clip in the Signature.

Sorry I don't have any pics at this time. Basically the pipes are down the passenger side, up over the rear axle, then the pipes split up and out the back.

Ive heard flows on three different IROC's (Two 350's and a 305) including my own. The all sound pretty different to me.


I wouldnt really listen to the "Over used comment". Give Mark till next year and people will be saying the same things about Hooker


Seriously though, I think flowmaster is so common because it gives a great sound at a great price.
