that one should work, but you might have some slight fitment issues since it's got a center/side inlet/outlet. Try to get a side/side.
Buying now the muffler http://www.jegs.com/i/Dynomax/289/17743/10002/-1 Very Nice!!! is a side to side

today I install my dynomax super turbo muffler and its a little more quiet than the magnaflow but I tought the car would be quieter than how it is right now I think I should lower the iddle.

Ohh **** and other thing... I get the #17743 and now after I install it I read that the size of the flow tubes are 2.5 inch... FAIL I have a complete 3'' exhaust and a muffler with 2.5 flow tubes WTF!!

Can this affect in performance for my TVS setup ?

it's probably going to choke it down a little up top once you start actually pushing the TVS hard. But I doubt you'll even notice it till then. If you are only around 300whp, it won't be noticeable at all.

post up some exhaust vids if you get a chance.

Me too. I'm in that upper range you speak of and if this doesn't work by itself then it's time fir me to get custom work done that Ive waited to have a reason for.

I'd also wait for a few days until it fully breaks in.. The car felt very slow for a few days after I first installed it.. Once the packing wears in, it's much better.. And again, I feel like I have better acceleration and throttle response with this muffler than with either my GMPP or Ark N2.. If you want to keep it to a nice neutral tone, look into those resonated tips.. That's one of the ones that I have, and that's the one I will be ultimately welding in (once this stupid weather backs off)..

Like this:



It has similar little holes inside the tip wall like the inside of a muffler.. It takes a little bit of extra noise down.. A very small bit, but honestly makes the exhaust sound smoother.. See the small holes inside (black section)..

Yeah, they're not really even a whole lot more than standard ones.. If you look inside them, many sports cars have those style.. I know the Corvette does for sure..

that's not bad for a price either. I don't even know if I need it yet, but with the hahn, I don't doubt it'll be loud as **** before this gets put on.

Why do you think you need 2 dynomax mufflers? You just need a resonator after the downpipe and then the dynomax muffler out back. You can do all that in 3in also.

But, if you did run 2 dynomax mufflers, I think that it would be extremely quiet.

it might be super quiet but it'll be super heavy as well. My muffler weighs around 40 pounds. It's pretty hefty. I don't think that two on the exhaust line would be a good idea.
