Default best silencer for exhaust

I have a mod 350 chevy with thru hull exhaust - need to quiet down but do not want to loose too much performance as I am allready at high altitude. Rex powertorque inline silencers that bolt into tips versus Shotgun III. I want to keep the price down and people need to ski any advice????

Thanks

I had the slip in silencers and went with the Shotguns. This is on a 375horse SBC. I gained 1.5mph (per GPS) switching to the Shotguns. The Shotguns are a little more but no comparison as far a performance.

I have shotguns and they help a lot. They still don't make the exhaust quiet by any means. The insert tips will have a similar results. It will quiet it down, but nothing like a full muffler. The advantage of the shotguns is they are adjustable and there is no power loss. They have spring rods that control how much and at what rpm they open. The more exhaust pressure, the farther they open.

I bought shot guns this year and prefer them over the silent choice B.S.

I think our only option are clamp-ons, but my experience with a set of HPI's
was a power loss and then they both decided they rather spend the rest of their lives at the bottom of the lake than go back to the factory.

All GGB inserts we're designed and tested "dry". They can be run either way.
