Anyone know of what type of mufflers work best on these cars?
any muffler that is a straight thru design. Stay away from chambered mufflers.
What he said. That being said, my Hooker 2.5" dual catback has the super turbo style mufflers and I only lost 4hp over open exhaust on the dyno in full race trim. I like the sound of the straight throughs, but I can't justify spending the money when my current setup is not robbing any hp. Mine have less drone than the straight throughs as well.
Red Regal T, how do the Aero Chambers sound? How bad is the drone? Can you post a clip?
There is no drone. Now, I'm not too sure if the design is for optimum performance, but I have noticed over the years a lot of guys complain about the drone of whatever type muffler they're using. That's usually the case when you have loud mufflers. Aero Chambers are not loud. They are relatively quiet on a mellow note. I have a friend who uses flowmasters because he likes loud ... and it is very loud. Loud means drone at cruise. I can't even hear mine when sitting next to him.

I have to respectfully disagree about an Aerochamber not droning.
I have a 3" single system (turbo to tailpipe) with an Aerochamber. It's loud, and drones at 1,800-2,200. It sounds really, REALLY good with a low powerful tone, but.....
Now..... a 2.5" setup with dual Aerochambers may very well indeed not drone, but a 3" single certainly does.
