I'd suggest a pair of straight through mufflers (Dynomax Ultraflow are a good choice, and may just be small enough to fit after the axle).

Kev - not everyone's as deaf as you ;)

I thought mine were too loud at first but they seem to have got quieter recently. Don't know if it's due to use or if they've made me go deaf.

Custom Chrome http://www.custom-chrome.co.uk/ will make you a cherry bomb type muffler any length and 3" in and out. But a 3" system is going to be loud no matter what you do.

I can recomend Custom Chrome as they are the people that built a cutom exhaust in stainless steel for my Barracuda using their racing boxes which have a twisted perferated tube which allow the gasses to pass through it at low rpm or when cruising (quite) but then as the revs increase the boxes then will flow staight out of the box (loud) :D

Kev, you can't call a man gay just because he has a nice carpet under his car :D

Yeah I noticed that carpet, and wondered if the csr is kept in the living room of his house.

Cherry Bombs, thats whats needed here - blummin big ones. If you cant here the car screamin from 2 miles away, it aint loud enough :D

This is the 3" system I made myself. A balance pipe helps keep the noise down.

I started with just the Warlock mufflers (cut-outs built in) but found them too loud.

Custom Chrome made me two 3" in/out cherry bombs to a custom length so they would fit either side of the petrol tank on the Challenger. I then modified the out ends to a rectangular shape so that they would weld to two reproduction exhaust tips I opened up on the rear.

The system was still 'loud' but not so it annoyed me.

What flowmasters are they? They do tend to be loud but they have a much nicer resonance than the cherry bomb style mufflers. All down to personal choice really, since you'll be the one inside it.
