Loudest nastiest...mufflers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ChevyDude · 08-30-2005, 09:25 AM

My truck will just be a Sunday cruiser, what mufflers will be the loudest, nastiest sounding?

Jim_PA · 08-30-2005, 09:43 AM

Dynomax Turbo tubes If you want the loudest you can get

**N2TRUX** · 08-30-2005, 09:44 AM

Why run mufflers if you want it loud. Just put some 4" pipe back there so it will drive everyone insane......

stllookn · 08-30-2005, 10:16 AM

Flowmaster 40's are pretty loud and raspy. Many have changed them out after a bit since they are so noisy...that has to say something! You can go the Flowmaster website and hear the differences. Dynomax may have a website for your enjoyment too...LOL!

matthufham · 08-30-2005, 11:00 AM

flowmaster 40's not delta flow 40's (delta=quiet)

navybear70 · 08-30-2005, 11:09 AM

Yes, make sure you get the original Flowmaster 40 series "American Thunder"'s. Those are the loudest mufflers...unless, of course, you get some glasspacks, heat em up and stuff a garden hose up the pipe! (Not reccomended) The problem with straight pipe is the lack of backpressure. Make the truck run and sound like crap...IMO.

ONE CHAMBER FLOWMASTERS

**special-K** · 08-30-2005, 01:30 PM

The Walker Turbo Tubes and DynaMax round-style are non-baffled and really crack when you get in it.

I agree, the turbo tubes are loud as he!! Only other thing I can think of is a one chamber Flowmaster like what was just mentioned. Also the dynomax race bullets are pretty darn loud too.

Fred T · 08-30-2005, 02:13 PM

Straight pipes with an expansion tip, which boosts the bass. If you're required by law to have a muffler, go with a short, cheap glass pack.

ChevyDude · 08-31-2005, 10:23 AM

Thanks Guys!

Joe67 · 08-31-2005, 12:50 PM

Flowmasters are anything but raspy

If you want loud and nasty, go the redneck route and lose the muffler all together. That should annoy the neighbors nicely

camaro__thunder · 08-31-2005, 12:55 PM

You can make almost any muff raspy depending on the engine.. If you have a fast revving small block they sound great.. Gotta love a stroker !

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 08-31-2005, 03:44 PM

Dual 12" glasspacks........or a straight 2.5" pipe. I ran mine without a muffler but came close to getting a ticket so I went and bought a 18" glasspack and there's not much difference between that and no muffler at all.

bigjimzlll · 08-31-2005, 05:06 PM

dynomax bullets. They were just as loud as open headers on my truck...they are also not allowed for street use..but...

cdowns · 08-31-2005, 07:04 PM

whatever muffler you choose if you get your hands on a couple of 18"long pieces of brass tubing and install right after the muffler it will make sounds that nobody else has// also nothing makes noise like horsepower!!!!

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-31-2005, 07:12 PM

The HOOKER ones are pretty nasty also, deepest ones I have heard yet
