Default Difference in sound between 14in. case magnaflow bullet vs. oval?

I am thinking about running dual 14in. case magnaflow bullets or ovals on my lq9 6liter. What will the sound difference be. I currently am running a dual 3in. in/ single 3in. out magnaflow 22in case unit. Is not mean enough for me at idle.

replace your current muffler with 2 Dynomax Bullets... I can guarantee it'll be mean then

i have the magnaflow dual 3 inch in/out 5x11x22 and its freakin insanly loud. Sounds so tough. I have long tubes and small high flow cats also all in 3 inch.

if you do anything they have a 5x8x24 magnaflow dual in/out with internal x pipe which will make yoru truck sound good. Id just stick to gettin 1 muffler since it has a internal x pipe. but im tellin if you if you get headers your muffler will shine.

I had that exact setup on my VHO that my cousion owns now. It sounds good, I would just dump the exhaust instead of running it anywhere. It pops more running pipes after it, but I didn't have cats either. They are cheap and small, and actually thought it wouuld be louder then what it was.

to buy 2 mufflers and a additional x pipe is a waste when they have this muffler out which is the one i used.



internal x pipe and the muffler is big. But with 3 inch in/out dual entry/exit its freakin loud with the long tubes and some small random tech. cats. Sounds so good though. if your running stock exhaust manifolds and stock cats thats why people think its quet but if you hear it on my tbss sounds so good.

Also the muffler was 96 shipped from ebay.
