In that first video, is that clatter you hear the valve? Do you have to match the muffler to your engine?

no match needed

<4L version has weaker spring on the valve than the >4L version...so the <4L will open easier(under less flow)

bought one when the came out, never installed it, sold it. Wouldn't be wise for any LSJ tho, given its literally straight thru design.

could see it sounding good on all other engines for the balt tho

whats wrong w/ straight through? Chambered sounds horrible on the LSJ... the straight through has always provided the deepest smoothest sound for me... I've ran a supertech muffler, two dynomax mufflers both chambered and VT straight through, and 3 magnaflow (xl chambered, and two straight thrus)

Dynomax has the best sound over all. Go for the one with the stronger spring and it shouldn't rattle like the sub 4L one does.

Well, straight thru and catless, not so much. Super turbo for me shortly...
