Muffler choice. What's yours?

I say the Flowmasters are too load. I'm a big fan of the Dynamax. Like mentioned above, not too load at idle, but nice sound at full throttle.

Straight pipes FTW

I have a full Edelbrock system on the 'Stang and it sounds great. I don't know know who makes the mufflers but they might be Dynomax (guessing Edelbrock didn't make their own). No drone at highway speeds and a nice idle.

I have Pypes M-80's on the Mustang...I like the sound...

I have a Magnaflow on the wifes truck....it makes a good note at WOT but is pretty tame at idle

I have 2.5 Flowmaster Super 40's on the Plymouth...great sound at idle and WOT....no drone on mine with a H pipe and tubes run all the way out the back and turn down at the bumper

I've got a Flowmaster of unknown make on the black truck....its okay....don't love it...don't hate it...

On my daily driver 84 C10, I have a Walker 18 series - probably like the ones Jim put in his Nova that are too quiet. I like it on the DD. Quiet, but it still has a tone. If I go to dual exhaust after swapping the 305 for a 350, I'll use two of them. But then, I tow my work trailer in neighborhoods where some people wouldn't appreciate a loud vehicle, and when your company name is on the trailer, any bad opinions could lead to loss of income.

If I were to buy new mufflers for the Chevelle, I'd probably go with the Pypes race pros or the Dynomax Ultra's - I've had turbo's long enough, ready for something different - and like you, I'm not a fan of the Flomaster sound and risk of resonance.

the type of muffler depends on the vehicle, I like chambered exhaust because they last longer - but on the FJ40 I went with cats and a larger turbo-style muffler good flow, but pretty quiet... not quiet, not chambered - cherry bombs, they get louder as they age.

Dynomax super turbos are a really good call between price and sound...

My chambered Terminators are near 20 years old and on my second car.

I dunno...I can't tell most mufflers apart by sound. And pretty much over a really noisy cabin in my vehicles; accordingly, today I'm a fan of sound-proofing and and full-length tail pipes (put the sound out back for others to enjoy!).

I thought I was super quiet, until opening those two little xtra cab windows.
Even full exhaust.. you know it is not a wimpy normal coming your way.

that does lead to trouble sometimes, not really knowing what ya got.
I vribrated some mobile homes once, with headers on a g-body, backyard engine. Compression actually hurt to hear and feel. Embarrassing.

Jones Max Flow. Just like Magnaflow, but much cheaper.

[Beagle]

somebody has to say it (Bob Holmes)

Turbochargers make good mufflers.

[redneckjoe69]

i couldnt stand my flowmaster 44s. too loud and i hated the drone. i've got 2 long cherry bombs and 2 summit directional bullets, h-pipe, and ran the exhaust all the way out the back. its only loud when i get on it. i did think about trying coffin mufflers. anybody running them?

DynoMax Super Turbo.

I get lots of compliments on the sound, which probably has just as much to do with the headers, mandrel bent exhaust and outlet angle.

Years back I bought some cheap Summit mufflers. I wasn't expecting too much.They were ridiculously. They were really, really nicely made mufflers that sounded great. I was very impressed. But that was a long time ago. Now, Dynomax. Quiet enough so you won't piss off odd neighbors but have a nice growl when you get on it.
