-seriously it is better to have a deep rumbling from a good set of glasspacks or series 50's then to have this loud open pipe or ricer sound... although open pipe on a big truck is very nice on the open road. yes the ricers were obviously neglected as children, it is all that yelling and lack of attention that makes them beg for more attention by making noise. If they weren't neglected and been raised properly, they would have learned what a true american truck/muscle car is worth.

Dynomax has Super Turbo mufflers in a longer version (20" case vs. 14") and they are not loud at all. The 2.5" Super Turbo (the 20"-case version is pn 17749) will handle around 380hp per pair with negligible back pressure.
There's an old Skylark around here with a mild 455, & it has those mufflers. At idle and part-throttle, the loudest sound from the exhaust is that of the headers. Even at WOT, it's not at all offensive. It also runs 12.80's, fully muffled. If you use an X-pipe or a very short H-pipe, the sound will be a little quieter and not as uneven as that of a separate dual system or one with a long H-type crossover, especially at idle. Running the tailpipes out the back can help with inside noise. |

I would suggest going with the dynomax "hemi" super turbos, they are longer than the standard super turbos, and they are quiet and sound awesome!
I have 2 1/2" hemi's with headers all the way out the back with an H pipe and the tail pipes exit out by the hitch and have just alittle downward angle.

I understand the original point of this thread quite well. I don't want a loud truck, either. Having tinnitus (permanent ringing in the ears) does that to you.
![]() It flows more freely than the old generic system did. Gibson was another option I considered. They do a lot of truck and motor home systems. Loud isn't what you want in an RV. I'm probably going to go with a Gibson in my 4-banger Jeep next time around. I don't want it loud, either. I love the 4-banger (spirit of the original MB/GPW, you see), but a loud 4-cylinder isn't all that "cool" to me... ![]() Good luck!

And, yes, those extra loud 40-series and other systems literally cause discomfort by making my ears literally "buzz", sometimes to the point of really pis$ing me off if I've got listen to one for too long.

The dynomax "hemi" mufflers are the way to go for quite and do flow pretty good for being quite. Flowmasters really don't flow all that well at all like the name would lead everyone to believe.

The shop that did the work for me stocked the Dynomax Super Turbos. One of the men that worked there had a set on his truck and let me listen to them. I really liked the sound so I decided to go with them. 2 1/2" pipes straight out the back. Not too loud, and just a little rumble that makes them sound just about right. I'm happy now. Thanks to all for the good advice.

Hey Crawdad, did you go with the 14" case or the 20" case? I've got headers and dual 2.5 flowmasters with the pipes out the side in front of the rear tire. I want mine quieted down too but wasn't sure if the dynomax's would do the trick, since i've never had them before. I'm still trying to decide what to try first, the dyno's, an H-pipe, or some ram's horns. It would probably help to route it straight out the back too, but I'll do that as a last resort if I have to. I was also wondering how much header ping you had, if any, and if the super turbos helped that at all.

Danged if I know right off hand. I really didn't pay any attention to that. I was just so happy to finally have a quieted down truck, all I could do was sit there and listen to it run. I'll measure them tomorrow to see for sure. As far as ping, I may be getting a little bit (just a tiny little bit), but it is hardly noticeable at all. I know one thing for sure, however; the high lift cam in the engine combined with the headers and straight through pipes, makes for some powerful exhaust pulses. One of my female co-workers was standing behind the truck at work today when I cranked it up, and it blew her loose fitting skirt almost up to her head!

You might want to check this out too: http://www.dynomax.com/rebateform.stm You might be able to get $50 back on your mufflers. I think I'm gonna get some through Summit before the end of this month. With the rebate I'll only pay $14 apiece for the 14" case or $21 for the 20" case, once I decide which ones I want. Ben

I heard a few guys say the aero chambers are loud.
I have a single 3" system and at idle and lower RPM's it is barely louder then the stock type system I had before. When you really get on it, its a little louder. Exits behind drivers tire like stock, can have both windows down and have a conversation no problem. Near walls, like at drive through, you hear a little more sound, but nobody has to speak up or anything. Nobody I have asked considers it loud.
