No prob. good luck with your search.

Late to the dance here but I have an LSJ with badmab and ZZp Catted downpipe with a Dynomax Ultra Flow and it is TOO loud and raspy.

I am looking to put an LNF on.

Uh oh lol. I heard the LNF was raspy. Now I'm confused. I should have made a poll.. Oh well as long as it gives me better flow.

supercharged cars are gonna be loud and raspy like a NA car, unlike the likes of a turbo mmmmm those exhuast notes sexy

longer resonators and different muffler can get u a low deep tone and still perform

I don't think I would notice the difference between using the super turbo muffler or a straight through muffler. There may be a small difference between the two but I don't think it would be very significant. I'm ok as long as I don't sound like a Civic with a fart can.

if you put a lnf muffler on your car, you WILL sound like a honda with a fart can. it sounds like ****. been there done that.
i know have a badmab header, zzp 3" catless dp and a lnf catback (since its 2.5 all the way) and a dynomax super turbo muffler. i had the super turbo on my last 2 lsj's, its my muffler of choice. yes it doesnt flow as well as a straight through, but doesnt sound like ass like a straight through either.
i have the 2.5 center in/2.5 offset out

Thanks, this is helpful. I'm leaning toward the Dynomax Super Turbo muffler.

Wow lol, that stock muffler is A LOT quieter. Hopefully the super turbo muffler will give it a little bit more of an aggressive tone and decrease the amount of back pressure.

Not too expensive $125/tx installed. Most shops carry this brand which to most is a flowmaster knockoff. Still sounds good tho.

I'll be installing whatever I get myself. Hoping to find a GMPP or a good flowing, decent sounding muffler.

Lol that's good. I'm still fighting myself on this. If I can get a GMPP Touring for around $100 would it be worth it? Is this exhaust more restrictive than the GMPP Sport? If so, why?

Thanks, I just went through that thread and all I saw was that the touring has a quieter sound to it. I'm just curious if there is a difference in their performance.

The touring and the sport flow the same.

The muffler is larger on the touring, and therefore quiets the exhaust note down a bit.
