I am still considering adding a second set of mufflers as you say. Since I already have Flowmasters with all their baffles and everything inside the case (and I have no idea how well they even perform) I was thinking about adding in a set of 3" straight through mufflers such as Dynomax in front of the Flowmasters to quite it down even more. That would not affect performance and it would quite it down but I don't know how much or what it would sound like after that. I don't really need loud. To me the good sound comes from having a very healthy motor making 540 hp and I don't even like loud anymore. Quite is cool too as long as the motor is not weak. As you mention, I could also fit some bullet type mufflers as well. It does sound very interesting to put some bullet type mufflers in the tailpipes just after coming down from over the rear end. I tried getting more input on this idea a few months ago but the thread died without even one hit I think. My idea came from the 66 Hemi GTX Silver Bullet which uses 4 Cadillac mufflers. One day I will blow a few hundred on different mufflers and try a few different combos out until I find that perfect sound. I really like the Flowmasters with their metallic type sound, but I really like whatever mufflers I have heard that have a deep bass type rumble (I think just a perforated tube type muffler with insulation packed into the case like a Dynomax). I need to get to a car show and wait till I find something that has the sound I like and take note of what muffler they say they are running. Until I insulate my car I am just wasting my money.
