Re: Mufflers?
Lots of good quality mufflers out there, I have Flowmasters, but I've seen alot of Cherry Bomb commercials lately & one of my favorite car/truck builder/fabricater "Stacy David" (He built the truck Copperhead) just did a whole walk through of the Cherry Bomb plant & they did some flow tests & they did very good in the test's & sounded good too! I'm sure you will get lot's of opinions on this subject, but anything good enough for Stacy David is good enough for me.

Re: Mufflers?
Turbo mufflers are always a cheap and good choice. Not too loud but not too quite, with a touch of rumble and almost no interior resonance. Sounds very old school, like a cop car from a 60's or 70's chase scene.
Smaller turbo mufflers will be louder. I got two small ones on my truck and its got a pretty nice sound. This is with long tube headers and no cats. You can get them for $20-$30 each. Last edited by Pyrotechnic; 06-05-2007 at 12:33 AM. |

 my truck has true duals with no crossover and 26in glasspacks that dump out at the back of the cab and its kinda quiet to me but loud to others, you can easly have a convo with the passanger without yelling and while cruisin down the freeway, just turn the stereo down first

Re: Mufflers?
I have dual Cherry Bombs on my '71 C-10 with a 350 and it sounds pretty good.
My son has dual Flowmasters on his '70 C-10 with a 454 and likes the sound. They sound louder to me than the Cherry Bombs I have. Danny - SEMO |

Re: Mufflers?
FLowmaster super 40's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quieter than the standard 40, but still sound like a pro-stock car at 2,500 and above rpms Then again, they might still be too loud for someone that's trying to listen to their oldies station while crusing to the lake. I refuse to have a stereo in my truck.....the motor is my music.

I'm with you on that one. Stereo's are a waste of time plus I like to get away from things when I'm driving my truck. Sound of the engine is the tune that I like the best. IMHO. esll.

Re: Mufflers?
I had dual 2.5" Cherry Bombs and they sounded good but I wanted that Flowmaster 40 series sound (LOUD!!!) I wish I would have taken back the Cherry Bomb mufflers with me from the muffler shop I could have sold them to you for cheap.

 Glasspacks are cheap and sound old school, but I'd go with Flowmasters or something like that for a long lasting, good sound. |

Re: Mufflers?
Flows are the only way to go. The sound good, look good and are tough, turbos will explode and open up like a pop can. They are like $50-60 a piece but they'll outlast the truck!!

Re: Mufflers?
Check your local muffler shop, the guy by me takes them off trucks and cars all the time and always has used ones laying around..Sells them cheap,about 1/2 most of the time.
