Magnaflow bullets vs Dynomax bullets

Hey guys ...i have a l99 with solo hi flow cats ...jba shorty headers and magnaflow muffler delete. Since i had the tru x pipe installed my car sounds good. Its just a little high pitched when getting on the gas. Im looking for some small bullet mufflers that give a deeper tone with out drone. Im only replacing the mufflers and leaving everything else as is. These 2 are what im looking at. Is anyone running exhaust close to mine that has some experience with these 2 mufflers ? Like i said i want a deeper tone with no drone. Thanks alot.

Not with the stock resonator.

Then I did no cats and Jegs x pipe and it was raunchy (for me). Very loud and had a lot of drone.

Kooks headers, cats, stock reso, Moroso Spiral flows:


I went 13.15@106 1.95 all stock, and 12.72@110 1.92 with headers, cats, airbox, tune on stock tires.

I lower the stock tires to 25 psi, and then do a quick little burnout. Then I'd get into the gas as quickly as I could without spinning. Keep in mind my 12.72 became a 12.3 with just adding 20" Nitto DRs.

I have the magnaflow bullets on my L99, I have lt headers, no cats, x pipe and they have a nice sound to them, they have a little drone around 1800 to 2000 but not too bad. It seems raspy I guess is what I would call it at around 3500 but I do like the way it aounds.

Glad I found this. I'm torn between those as well and the Flowmaster super 44. I have stock manifolds and stock cars though with non resonated x pipe.

I ran Kooks bullets for approx. 5 miles total...... With no cats the drone was so bad I felt like my head would explode. Couldn't have a conversation with a passenger. Make me a deal.....

I did lower my tire pressure to about 29 lbs. ....it hit 12.9 back to back. And my 60ft was 2.0.....maybe I should have lowered it a little more...I dont know how much I'm spinning..the car seems to track pretty straight and it's so loud I can't hear anything. I might add some nittos in the spring and see how it goes. Thanks
