Muffler decision

[1971ChevyTruck]

Time to buy mufflers...I kinda like the 40 series flowmasters and plain old turbo mufflers. Any ideas on which would give me a deep tone??

[Ackattack]

40 series flows won't give you a deep tone. They're loud and have a higher "metalic" sound.

I put a 24" blue streak glasspack on just so I could drive it til I got the exhaust dualed. I like the way it sounds and will probably keep it and add another when I dual it. My buddy has them on his Jeep and they have a great deep tone. Just my .02

I have some cheap dual turbos on right now and 2 1/4" pipes. It sounds pretty good for being generic mufflers.

personally thrush's welded mufflers sound pretty much like flows. I know not exactly the same but for 30 bucks i think they work. Check out the sound here

I bought Thrush Turbos, 2.5' pipes and 3" tips....sounds deep!

What engine are you running small block or big block? also the camshaft has to do with it also if you have a mild or stock cam it wont be that throaty if its like an RV style or choppy idle then you have options. I have a set of Flowmaster 2.5 in and out Mufflers they are the 40 series Delta Flows, I wanted the regular 40's but the parts store guy brought them out instead and I also paid what a 40 would cost when the deltas are more expensive anyways. I ran this set on my Small block with a performer cam and it was throaty and deep toned but I don't have tail pipes either the exhaust system ends at the outlet on the flowmasters just before the rear axle and I now have that same exhaust system on my new truck with a big block and its still throaty just not as much as the fresh small block i had them on she needs a rebuild. if you go flows do it with out the tail pipes and you'll like what you here

From the little bit I heard they sound good $30 bucks for welded mufflers is good too

At the Power Tour, Cherry Bomb was a sponsor and at their tent, they were answering all kinds of questions. I have 40-series Flowmasters on my truck and I'm wanting a different sound. They told me that the longer the muffler body, the deeper the tone. With that, I decided on a pair of 28-inch, 2.5 in/out Cherry Bombs.

When I get mine, I am gonna have 4" collectors and 3" straight pipes, with probably 2 Cherry Bombs.

I'm running CherryBomb glasspacks. Not everyones cup of tea, but the price was right, and I really like the sound.

Headers -> glasspacks (2" in/out, about 27 inches long) -> 2 inch pipe in front of each rear wheel.

Ok, vids.






that should pretty much showcase the way it sounds...hah.

not gonna lie though, those Thrush muff's sound prtty sweet.

Oh and 4" tips...loud as hell!

[smoknbarrels]

flowmaster makes a new muffler, called the super 44.. they produced them similar to the 40 series, but are slightly deeper tone and not as snappy.. I bought a pair of them in 3". but haven't installed them yet.
supposedly they sound a lot better then the 40 series. if you liked the 40 series.

i had dual 40's on a 350 sbc with lots of cam. i was happy with those too, but just a bit loud when you are barking at 6500rpm.
