Default Exhaust Suggestions

Installing LT's with no cats this weekend and need to pick a muffler. Its my DD and have the kids with me often times. I want something with no drone and fairly quiet. Suggestions? Spintech? If I want loud I can open the cutout. Thanks!

I have the stock on it now with the resonator gone and was curious as to how it would sound.

Not Spintech lol, they're loud. I'd get a larger cased Magnaflow.

I have the magnaflow catback with cats and resonators and it is really quite until you don't want it to be. I'm pretty happy with it. Since this is my DD and my Camaro is so damn loud I wanted something quite but still has a good sound.

Hope this helps.

I love the sound of my current spintech too though. I wasnt going to do headers but I said the hell with it so I think I'm gonna do pacesetters with catless y. That mated to my current spintech will be way too loud. And I already have spintechs largest muffler and it's loud now with stock manifolds and cats just res delete.

I have Pacesetter LT's, Magnaflow spun high-flow cats, and SLP dual setup with a 4" round Magnaflow Magnapack resonator in each tailpipe. Perfect sounding, mellow during cruise and loud at WOT.

The Dynomax VT sounds great at WOT, and has no drone at light throttle/hwy cruise.

That's exactly my goal. I will look into this if the stock exhaust doesn't do the job. Thanks!
