what size muffler?

Heres the thing. Im about to buy mufflers for a true dual system for my 84 Z28 I need to know who is running a system, and what size mufflers you have? What brand you have as well? If I get that info, the company im going through will cross over the info to their products.

Thanks
blackgloves

I would personally stay away from Flowmaster. You need a muffler that flows in relation to the power your making. If you are choosing a muffler on sound alone, then the sky is the limit. If not, then check out this article.

How much power is your car making? You might want to consider a single 3" or a dual 2.5" setup depending on your motor. Muffler choice is largely a personal one, however I'd recommend staying away from flowmaster.

Dynomax super turbos are an excellent muffler that iIve use on several different vehicles.Excellent flow,actually outflows "40"series Flowmasters below 3500rpm,without the noise.Very nice rumble at idle just a touch above stock not ubtrusive at hwy speeds(55 to 70).Or you can go to their Ultra Flows which are stainless and quieter with same flow.Single 2.5" mandrel bent is good on a stock motor or 3" on modified.If you go duals,wouldn't go bigger than 2.5", use a balance tube for it's scavenging boost low end torgue.
