"They feature a free-flowing, straight-through perforated stainless steel core, stainless mesh wrap and acoustical fiber fill"
According to their description, it's basically a dual in-dual out, straight through glass pack style muffler.

Is there such a thing as too loud?
It will muffle the sound somewhat, but it'll still be loud. And with dumping the exhaust under the car, the droning will eventually get to your ears. There's a difference between just plain loud and having it rumbling under the car. Going all the way out the back would be the way with that type of muffler.

yeah i think thats what im going to do now

to my dismay i discovered that there are no headers of any type for the 93 that dont require EGR and AIR deletes and im not giving those up, ive got the rare 93 LT1 that wasnt beat to death and everything is still pristine (1 in a million lol)

so i guess im gonna do some crazy setup with the stock ones but still duals

and since ill have the extra 200-400 bucks ill buy some nice tips and run them back and have some cash left over

the newer (94-97?) egr headers will work with some mods. have them in mine. you can make your setup fit the egr tubes or upgrade to a newer egr and air setup. the egr switch is easy, im still gathering parts to switch my air pump pluming.

from jegs site $32 i got mine for $37 at a local parts store but its this exact muffler, quality welded and flowmaster sound, cant go wrong, and flows are around $90

http://www.jegs.com/i/Dynomax/289/17...oductId=763864


a pop can slips ove a 2 1/2" pipe which will slip into the mufflers outlet cut the bottom of pop can center out till you get the sound you want, hose clamp it on so it wont shoot off. cut the top of the pop can off and a hole in the bottom the size of a half dollar to start
