exhaust question

[dznucks]

i just want to clarify... im not exactly sure what yall mean by "racey/exotic" tone??? are yall talking about the sounds that a honda civic 4 cylinder makes when a exhaust system is put on it?

I am implying a newer Vette, GTO, camaro type sound. Not the loud, raspy flowmaster, cherry bomb sound.

i was looking for a quiet muffler too. The edlebrocks arent as quiet as those cars, stock, i metioned but its smooth and mellow.

If you want a cheap x-pipe, call Full Line Exhaust. You have to call for them, they arent listed on teh website. They sold me a 2.5" magnaflow x-pipe for $17. over $80 at summit. In my opinion they make the strongest x-pipe i have seen.

^this, I meant the high pitched wail of a built lsx with x-pipe. H-pipe is the rougher more classic sound, x is smoother and higher pitched

i would reccomend looking at the flowmaster site if it has not already been said, and dont get super 44's

Flowmaster drone (even with the 70 series big block I believe it's called) sucks. Magnaflow, dynomax ultra flo, or turbos if you want cheaper and you don't mind some resonation and restriction.

i have flowmaster original 40s on mine.. and flowtech longtube headers on my 402.. and where my collectors are im going to take a saw zaw and from the collector go back about 6"-a foot and then put another collector back there to make my own cutout so i dont got to spend the big bucks on actual cut outs..

so flowmasters have that annoying "drone" at highway speed and magnoflow doesnt?

im going to machine my own cut-out also. im not sure if im going to find a way to make them electronic or just use a cable type system

Here's some Youtube videos of Turbo mufflers. Probably best way to get the sound you want is search different mufflers in Youtube.

Here is the set up I had mentioned in some earlier posts, mufflers and pipes are all stainless. It came in today,(next day delivery is great and no shipping costs even better). I already have my headers on that come out to a 3 in outlet and reduced with the mounting flange to the 2.5 inch exhaust system. Here it is all layed out in my garage. I already did a dry quick fit and seems like there shouldn't be any major issues to install, for once,

[tim21391]

that last post is all stainless steel isnt it.. sorry i havent read the other posts..

Correct. I currently have flow 40's and they are 100% wrong for what you describe you want. And that was behind a low compression stock cam 350,
much quieter than a built motor

i understand that i dont want flowmaster 40's or 44's but what about 50's big block or 70's big block?

Magnaflows cheap? since when? they are just as expensive as any flowmaster and IMHO they sound way better then any flowmaster and I switched from Flowmaster to Magnaflow and they even show better rating in HP and at WOT then any Flowmaster I have seen. Flowmasters IMHO are way over rated then they should be. anyone and everyone can put them on anything to make it sound mean but dont mean they are better then the average just because of their name is overly advertised and over rated. lol not trying to brush anything the wrong way but I just see alot of calling good quality Items cheap or trash when the people dont really know for sure.

i think be cheap he was refering to the turbos.... cause magnaflow sure as hell aint cheap

['72customdeluxe]

Turbos were what I called cheap. My 14x4 magnaflows were 58$ each on summit. Flow 40s were about 80$ locally and they are 70 on summit. We had an si/do 50 big block on an '03 ram. It's the quietest flow according to their site but it droned and resonated on the highway still. And that's a modern truck with a tame motor, cats, and actual insulation. The baffles rotted out in about three years. It'd be a trick to fit two of those big mufflers too, atleast on a step. My lwb had huge mufflers though. So do you want the heavier, more restrictive, louder when crusing, and more expensive mufflers

I plan on selling my almost new flows to some high school chump who thinks they are the greatest thing since sliced bread for close to what they are new

As far as magnaflows, the bigger the case the more packing there is=quieter. I got the 4" Cylinder shaped ones because they will tuck up the best. But, mine have a 2.25" core, might want a bigger outer diameter with 3" pipe for more packing
