Default Best muffler for the burble and gargle when descelerating?

as the title says what do you guys think is the best muffler for this? im getting rid of my lm2's and want a muffler that other people dont have to weld in my slp catback. i was looking at single chamber flows or dynomax race bullets. any other suggestions? my current exhaust is bbk lt headers, o/r h and lm2's. also i have bassani mufflers now that came off a cobra that are center in center out and they dont fit on my car. what offset do i need for my exhaust? i know i will prolly have to get some pipes bent but i took it to 3 shops and they said they couldnt do it. btw i got bassani mufflers for sale. hope you guys know the sound im talking about. deep and i love the popping when decelerating. not raspy. im kinda tired of my lm2's[:'(]

Flows will sound awesome with your setup. Heres a small clip of mine with a catted H and stock manifolds. Sounds pretty good IMO. This catback with LT`S and an O/R H will sound 100 X better.

mac is about the best as far as the "burble and gurgle" IMO, but as far as w/ your setup now, not sure how it would sound, pretty good i would imagine

Here's mine, dollar if you guess the exhaust setup If you like it, I'll let you know what it is. The sound is about 95% correct... my camera takes great quality audio.

No, it's not meant to be entertaining, it's just random clips that are left-overs from the video I've been working on putting together.

Here is a clip of my set up (in sig). Might help you decide. I get a good bit of burbling with my set up. I'm sure it'll be great with LT's.

Mine "burbles"...I don't really pick out certain parts of my exhaust I like...I love how my car sounds at any rpm.[8D]

Dynomax race bullets are AWESOME! I had some on my old 5.9L V8 Dodge Ram... sounded mean as hell and it definately had the popping/gurgling under decel.

Adding restriction to the idle air control path with either a restriction plate/gasket or a restrictor in the hose, will emphasize "burble and gargle" by effectively allowing the throttle to close quicker--this causes a rich mixture for a bit, that inturn spits unburned/partially burnedfuel into the header, where it pops and burps making the "burble and gargle"...carried to the extreme you get backfiring...[/align][/align]
