im looking to go with a hotrod loud exhaust sound. whats a good recommendation for a loud exhaust? I currently have 2 glasspacks installed. are the flowmaster 40s or 50s louder than my glasspack?

i currently have a 350 with 2 glaspacks installed right now

thanks!

lol glasspacks or straight is the loudest youre gonna get...

**70cst** · 11-08-2014, 02:52 AM

For me its not the loudness that makes the sound but the tone. I have these on my 402 and am well pleased.

You could always run open fenderwell headers, if the object is just to be really loud.

I had 2 1/2" exhaust with Flowmaster 40's on my 68 Camaro and it was awesome. Sounded loud and bad ass. Got several compliments on the sound.

4oldcars · 11-08-2014, 12:09 PM

Some of it depends on where you place the muffler. Nearest the motor or at the rear and how much pipe is aft of the muffler. I have headers on a 350, Smithys under the seat area and dumpin in front of the back tire. Wife hates it cause she can't hear the radio. I love it. Just sayin - - -

Blowmasters are made to get a stock engine to sound badAxx. Magnaflows are made to make a BadAxx engine sound good.

My magnaflows sound like this:

I have flowmaster 40 series true dual dumped before the axle.

It's pretty loud and sounds gnarly when I floor it.....it does however have a drone at about 30-40 mph....after about 45 is quiets down. I have the TH350 btw.

Sometimes I think they're too loud and consider getting something more quiet but I kinda like them.

Here's a cold start video I made :

I have a 3" system running into a set of 12" dynomax bullets. Full exhaust to the rear bumper dumps at the body line. Added a H-pipe to relieve the pop and snap.

This is on a 6.0 LS

Almost as funny as untrue. And I get a kick out those who refer to Flowmasters as if they are all the same. Actually, same goes for Magnaflows. I ran the 6" round on my '91 Suburban w/6.2 diesel w/3" exhaust. It was either a low runble or all out crackin' depending on throttle. I will say I did feel a noticeable gain in power. I swear it brought it up from 135 to 150 hp!!

Chip Foose disagrees with you and since he builds cars and trucks that win awards

and you just post

on a board about trucks I'll follow his lead!

jackyl9999 · 02-26-2015, 10:19 AM

Chip Foose more than likely uses magnaflow because they pay his bills.....

TonyJohnson · 11-09-2014, 11:33 AM

I've got 2 1/2" ramhorns into 2 1/2" duals with Flowmaster 40s. They exit at the back corners with 4" tips. Sound great, but require you to have a tight interior or they are too loud inside. Mine doesn't have a tight interior yet, so forget the stereo...

nicks diner · 11-09-2014, 06:50 PM

I went with my friend who happens to be a mechanic suggestion and put black widows exhaust and i can't describe how amazing they sound. Loud?yes drone absolutely none. Got them on a 406 roller and hooker pro comps and so glad I did not go with flows. There are a few sound clips if you search, you wont regret it.

hotrodder · 11-09-2014, 09:23 PM

I have 2 chamber Flowmasters with 2 1/2 exhaust pipes. The sound is cool!!!

BlackedOut67shorty · 11-10-2014, 05:22 AM

I used to want a really loud exhaust, so I had two glasspacks going out the side, it got old very quick cause I do stay around 2800 to 3200 rpm when I drive the interstate

brown7373 · 11-10-2014, 10:38 AM

I'm with you, Blackedout. The loud is very cool pulling into cruise night, but gets very old when you actually use it. When I first bought mine, it had glass packs and huge 3 inch chrome tips, which looked and sounded ridiculous on an otherwise bone stock truck. To each his own though.

Why not Y pipes with electric dumps? I'm doing it on my big block.
Quiet when you want it, loud as it can be when it won't get you in trouble.
