What muffler to use with ZZP Header back?

Asked this question under my other thread and wasnt getting feedback so maybe if I title a new thread differently it will work.


I just purchased a ZZP Full Exhaust from a guy for a great deal, midlength combo, catted for auto trans. 2.5" ZZP exhaust, welded (now cut to ship) and without a muffler.

Just wondering what I should use to have the best deep sound with ZERO rasp. Looking for bassiest noise, and NOT screaming loud.

I also have the option to bolt/weld my 2.25" tsudo muffler onto the 2.5" ZZP midpipe. Would that be beneficial at all as far as low range torque, downsizing like that before the axle?

Let me know some opinions!

how loud? Im already the max loudness i want to be with Tsudo. The ZZP exhaust has a larger resonator to help, but i just have to make sure Im not using a super loud muffler.

Back in the same boat, getting rasp with my tsudo muffler, looking for something under $100 that looks good from behind, and is on the moderate to quiet side, getting a little sick of the loud exhaust. Ideas?

Be sure to put a zzp res on it and any muffler should help give it a good deep tone while stayin quiet
With virtually no rasp

Kind of hard to suggest Hahn when you have a turbo car. The turbo itself acts like a muffler. A Hahn would be loud on his car. Heard one in person on a LSJ.

years ago, when i got my SS i cut the muffler off and threw on a Cherry Bomb Super Turbo Muffler, thing sounded great. i came across a New Megan for on hell of a price, so i moved on, but if i had to budget build an exhaust agian, id go back. i htink it was like $25 when i did it., theyre $38 now. and youll want a decent looking Tip

I have a ZZP midlength catted setup with a 2.5" ZZP resonator (the old style not the new whisper model) and then to a 2.25" axle back tsudo muffler. (i think its the 3rd time ive said it in this thread) Rasp on heavy/moderate accel, hate it! Its very minor and I cant really hear it in the car thats why I thought it was ok, but i had my girl drive the car up the road and did not like the sound.
