Which Muffler sounds best?

Ok so I am looking for mufflers for my 305. true duals, H-pipe.

I was thinking maybe These just because of the good price

or

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-633222/

anybody heard these?

Also looking at spintechs, flowmaster, or probably any chambered muffler. I want it pretty loud but not quiet. Open to any suggestions!

Thanks!!!!

Sounds best is an opinion.

My opinion is partial to the SLP 2otL cat-back and the Hooker Aerochamber cat-backs.

Magnaflow is the best, hands down.

Re: Which Muffler sounds best?

which one sounds the best????? Whichever one YOU think sounds the best. It is all opinion based.

Go to youtube and search videos of the different mufflers. Then chose the one you like. It is your car.

I have a flowmaster on mine. I like how it sounds, but will probably switch to something else on down the road. I love the sound at idle, but not WOT.

Here's mine: Powerstick chambered tube 36" single and NO CAT--3" all the way back from Y-pipe. It's pretty mellow but screams when I stomp the gas pedal. I love it
