performance exhaust help
Hi all. Long time member, first time poster. I'm looking for opinions on quiet performance exhaust and mufflers. I don't mind the truck getting throaty when I pour the coal to her I just don't want my neighbors windows rattling at 5 am. I have a fresh 350 with thorley headers I'm about to install in my 72 4x4 and I'm hoping for the best of both worlds. Not to loud and good performance. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Re: performance exhaust help
Dynomax Hemi Turbo mufflers. 2 1/2" in and out in a 20" case. I have them on the Jimmy and they sound great when you're getting on it, and have a near stock sound level at idle. No drone, a great performance muffler. And even better, they are relatively inexpensive.
I'd put them on my Camaro as well if they weren't so darn long!

Re: performance exhaust help
Personally I like to run a single. You could go the dual 2.5s into a flowmaster Y then into a 3'' Magna Flow then out the back 3''

Re: performance exhaust help
I just put some Sumitt brand turbos on my truck I did have a Dyno max on it that lasted about a 1 1/5 yrs. The sumitt brand is the same as a Dynomax a little cheaper also.Have been told the street strip is the same as Flowmasters 40.

Re: performance exhaust help
I put Flowmaster 70 series mufflers on mine (Dual 2.5" dumped before the axle) And I LOVE them. Even with a fairly big cam, they sound mellow at idle and are nice and quite at all different cruising speeds. Never any drone. They are big mufflers, which makes them a tight fit, but worth the effort in my opinion.

Re: performance exhaust help
Installed a 2-1/2" system from the Doug Thorley Tri-Y headers back several years ago on my elephant, that was a mistake, raised the torque range higher than I wanted. I wish I could find the link that stated 2-1/4" is more than enough for a small block chevy and anything more you lose the scavenging effect of the exhaust to work properly. A 2-1/4" pipe will flow 600cfm even with a very large carburetor you would never exceed the capacity of two 2-1/4" pipes...
