Question Quite muffler

With a single out exhaust with a catalytic converter how loud will it sound with a Turbo muffler. I'm looking for a sound that's just a "little" bit louder then stock. I would think the converter would quite the sound down a little.

I had Turbo's on my '78 lwb and they were louder than my Flowmasters. Ya gotta remember, Turbos are made by Cherry Bomb's! My Flowmasters are not too loud at all, I want something louder actually. I'm running dual Flow's with dual Cat Coverters now and it only gets loud at high revs. Even at idle, you can feel the Flows, but the sound is muffled.
Just my $.02 worth.

I have the Summit turbos on my 86. They are not very nosiey, but sound nice. Even better, they are $15 each!

I've got a Flowtech Raptor on my truck, just a cheap turbo muffler, and after they "break-in" they do get louder then a 2 chamber Flowmaster. At least mine was.

Out of all the mufflers- aero chamber, flowmasters,Dynomax turbos etc. What muffler would be quite but still have sound to it kinda like a stock Camaro. That's about the loudness I'm looking for. Need some more suggestions. Single 2.5 behind back tire. I'm going to try to have the exhaust put on next Friday.

Try ordering a stock Camaro muffler. You're already running a cat-back system anyways. I don't know what aftermarket muffler would sound like that cause I don't even hear newer Camaro's. I see them, but I don't hear them.

i definately do beleive that you are looking for a dynomax super turbo. I have 2.5" exhaust to some dynomax's, that just dump right before the axle. and thats off of headers and its pretty quiet in the cab. all you hear is engine & carb noise, barely any exhaust. but it sounds good.. with your single exhaust + cat + tailpipes I bet it will be just what you are looking for. They are cheap too, check out summit

If you want a stock Camaro sound, i'd go with Hemi Super Turbos.

Or a Walker muffler....
