mufflers??
 

im lookin for that classic muscle car sound but im not sure where to find it just wondering what you guys are running and if you like it thanks everyone

Re: mufflers??
 

Dual magnaflows, x-pipe, no cats, 2.5 pipe and 3/4 length Chevelle headers!! Checkout my videos.

Re: mufflers??
 

You are wanting some Flowmasters! Go with one of the 40 series, the Super 44 is the loudest\deepest, followed by the original 40, and the super 40. This is the sound you hear on muscle cars at car shows.

Re: mufflers??
 

the original 40 series is what i have, theres a bunch of different kinds, go to there website and they have sound clips of them

Re: mufflers??
 

I have flow master 40 s has a good tone, exits behind the rear tires

Re: mufflers??
 

I have to say, I have really enjoyed the Flowtech Raptor mufflers I have. I got them at my local Checker auto parts store. The sound has gotten quite a few compliments.

Re: mufflers??
 

i've currently got dual 2.5" magnaflows on the truck but those will be coming off soon.
Since i'm selling my mustang, i'm taking the bassani mufflers from the cat back and putting them on my truck. REALLY curious on how it is gonna sound behind that engine :-)

Re: mufflers??
 

The flo sound is tired, Magnaflows are it. Nice and deep powerful sound.

Re: mufflers??
 

I'm liking the Pypes mufflers. Will be installing those on my truck since Dynomax Super Turbos are too quiet.

Re: mufflers??
 

iv been looking at original 40 seriers flowmaster but not sure that there goin to be loud enoufe for my taste lol if anyone is runnign them how loud are they 1-10 1 being wisper quite 10 being open headder loud thanks agen ... o and iv been looking at flow masters race mufflers but i think id be getting into some truble form the 5 -0 but is anyone running race mufflers?

Re: mufflers??
 

If you want loud and Flowmasters then go 10 series, they are loud but still have the tone!

Re: mufflers??
 

I run the 10 series flowmaster race mufflers on my camaro, they are reeeeally loud. Granted a lot of it is because of the motor they're behind, but I set car alarms off constantly in that thing just idling through parking lots. Sound clip:


On my truck I run the super 44's, they are also pretty loud with a deep tone but much more tame than the race mufflers. These will usually set off car alarms if I give a quick rev next to an armed system. Sound clip:

Re: mufflers??
 

jezzz No body has said Glass packs
Its what i have and all my frends that have flow master or magna flows my trucks is louder then all of them

Re: mufflers??
 

with Long tubes-8..stock manifolds- 6 1/2

Re: mufflers??
 

I've got a set of stainless Pypes mufflers (I forget the line... it's their loudest line with the straight-through design) with a set of true dual 2.5" pipes on my truck. For a stock 454 with peanut port heads and stock cam, I'm impressed at how good it sounds.

If you really want to give your truck an interesting sound with true duals, try different mufflers left and right. It'll create a bit of an imbalance that can sound really good with some experimentation.

Re: mufflers??
 

not to say it wont sound good but that would be a very time consuming and expensive experiment.:lol:

Re: mufflers??
 

i have flowmasters 40s with my stock manifolds and then i put longtube headers on with the same mufflers and it sounds quieter????? why

but ether way still sets off car alarms at school (:

Re: mufflers??
 

Well you said you want the classic muscle car sound, then I would either get glass packs like mentioned before or turbo mufflers. Those are both considered old school muscle car sound IMO

Re: mufflers??
 

I'm gonna buy cherry bomb vortex mufflers next go around. been researching for a while and actually got to hear a set on a mustang. sounded good.

Re: mufflers??
 

swb85 .... is it bad i just got a hard on now lol dam love those toys ... i just got done with a 500 hp 383 build and i want all 500 horse to be heard lol so im not sure what to go with ... would you ever think about putting seri 10 on ur truck like you said its hard to hear what the seris 10 mufflers sound like with that stupid motor and i mean stupid as in sweet lol btw whats that motor and how offten can you afford to drive it lol :))) thanks

Re: mufflers??
 

Flowmaster 50 series on my 383 powered S-10.

Magnaflow (3" in and out) oval stainless on the 454 powered Heap.

I didn't like the Magnaflows on the S-10 but they sound awesome on the Heap.

I'm pretty much over the Flowmasters, I'm ready for "quiet" time. LOL.

Re: mufflers??
 

long tube headers, h-pipe, dynatech oval mufflers oh yea and its all 3in
heres a video...

Re: mufflers??
 

lol thanks. I wouldn't put the 10 series on the truck, it's my daily driver and they would get old very fast....I'm sure my neighbors wouldn't be happy either! The motor in the camaro is a 370ci LSx, 12:1 comp and bunch of nitrous. There's a build thread link for it in my signature. I usually put ~2k miles a year on it.

Re: mufflers??
 

Cherry Bombs baby........

Re: mufflers??
 

HAHA, thats my exact setup.. SOUNDS MEAN but classy...

Re: mufflers??
 

I've been looking at the p\Pypes mufflers, would love to try some Violators.

Re: mufflers??
 

headers with 3" collectors and dual 3" pipes to flowmaster 40s

louder ain't always better

Re: mufflers??
 

With your setup, sounds like yours would be REALLY loud. Mine is 3 to 2.5 pipes to similar mufflers and it isnt quite.

Re: mufflers??
 

I am running dual $25 Thrush Turbo mufflers. It sounds exactly the way I remember cars sounding in the 70s and 80s if that is what you mean by "classic musclecar sound."

Slonaker

Re: mufflers??
 

i got summit turbo mufflers on my 77 w duels off the manifolds and an h pipe sounds great on my stock 350
it has a muscle car sound i wish i had headers and a cam with a lil thump to it it would be perfect then!

Re: mufflers??
 

shoulds good,how low low are your rpms at idol

Re: mufflers??
 

i dont know (i need my tach hooked up) the fuel mixture screws were like 6 turns out in that video(it ran bad) it still idols wide open now but it responds better off the line now

Re: mufflers??
 

yep.. its loud as hell but the trucks been filled with high density foam and my stereo is loud enough to keep me happy when i want it to, but it drones like a sob on the highway

like i told the OP louder ain't always better

Re: mufflers??
 

ive been looking around for mufflers as well, i was wondering if anyone has heard coffin mufflers are those any good?

Re: mufflers??
 

true 2.5 dual with flomaster original 40's.iv'e got a ton of sound deadning.and 30 plus year's of working in a screaming loud pulp mill.so,i don't hear a thing.

Re: mufflers??
 

didnt mean to post twice sorry

Re: mufflers??
 

The 1ton 454 I just bought has a H-pipe and Flowmaster 40 series, looks to be 2 1\4in. pipe all the way. Truck has stock manifolds. I think it is very quiet driving and everything above idle, idle is the only time it makes noise and it does sound good at idle, just pretty quiet, to quiet, and I don't like loud, but it doesn't have enough of that Flowmaster sound and it's to quiet. I will make a video for you guys, maybe tomorrow. When I got the truck I REALLY thought it had 50 or 70 series mufflers because it is so quiet, maybe its all those crappy bends or stock manifolds?

Re: mufflers??
 

@smiller (acount suspended?) i've noticed that a stock or low compression engine (also with restrictive exhaust) tends to be quiter than a built motor with the same exhaust.

note: most low comp. tbi trucks with cat back exhausts tend to drone and have a low deadened sound compared to a high comp. motor with a free flowing exhaust

P.S. again this is just something i've noticed over time i have no articles or research to back this up

Re: mufflers??
 

you are correct, a engine with a higher comp ratio will always sound better than one with lower comp with the same exhaust.

Re: mufflers??
 

my exhaust was some super turbos, but they were really really loud. i took them off and put on these resonators that i pulled from some fwd buicks in the junkyard. low rumble like flows but nowhere near as loud. Im very happy. i had one on my monte when it was my daily and it sounded beast, i gues since all eight fired through the same muffler. always wanted to try it on real duals, just quiter, same sound tho. 20 bucks too.
