mufflers, mufflers, confusion

[Inspector71]

When the time finally comes, I want good sounding mufflers for my 68 Charger. I don't care for the ones that cackle when letting off the gas and don't want ones that are too quiet either. Glass packs are okay but some sound kind of tinny and some have that cackle sound. I checked out Flowmaster and liked the sound of their Super 10 but then I read on a forum they create too much back pressure and are to be avoided. I never cared for Thrush but read the Hush Thrush has a good sound. My favorite was the Orange Peeler that, although a glass pack, had a nice deep sound at idle and didn't get loud until I got on it and it didn't have the cackle sound. The more I investigate which would be a muffler that had a rich deep sound at idle but wasn't loud until I stepped into it, had the right amount of back pressure, no cackle when letting off the gas, the more confusing it gets. If someone gets the chance, and obviously knows a lot more about this than me, could you rank several of them for me so I can You Tube them and hear for myself? Any advice and warnings are appreciated too.

Ya, I'm the same way. I like the deep rumble of a Mopar big block at low rpm, but don't want the highway drone. I'm thinking Flowmaster 40's ( maybe another #) or Dynamax ( what #)---just to many to choose from. I don't like the back-rack of glasspacs for this car...........................MO

Flowmaster super 44s are great sounding as well as dynomaxx. I had a 4" dynomaxx on my srt4 neon cause it had a big turbo and it made it rumble like a v8, but that one also straight straight through where the other dynomaxx mufflers are straight through as well just go through more at an angle.

Thanks everyone. After work today I'll check them all out. Benno440: the You Tube video didn't come out but I'd like to see a larger picture of your car. The icon appears to show a really nice car. I didn't even know what color mine was until I opened the trunk (surface rust)

Check out the Dyno-Max line. The Ultra-Flows sound very "throaty"...The VT's have the spring loaded valve in them......a buddy of mine with a 67 GTX gen 2 hemi car has those...sound pretty much stock at idle or just normal driving but when he gets into it they really open up and sound great. I have a 70 RR 383 car that has the stock hemi mufflers on it (came that way when I bought it) and they have a nice sound to them also.

I don't care for the sound of Flowmasters, reminds me of Mustangs. I put Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers on my 69 Road Runner with big inch hemi and I like them a lot. They are not overly loud at idle or normal driving but you can hear them. They also don't have a drone on the highway. I would certainly consider them the next time I need mufflers.

Check out Pypes. I've had a system of theirs on one of my cars for a few years now. Absolutely no rattle or highway drone ! I did have to cut & re-weld the system, though for correct fit. But, you can just get the mufflers if that's all you need.

These Dynomax ultra flows sound like what you're looking for.

They ain't cheap but Borla is one of the top ones imo. Had a pair on a 9 second Duster several years ago. Keep in mind that the sound changes depending on where you place them and the size of pipe used. That's with any muffler tho. Closer to the engine, the louder they are. A muffler can sound like crap placed close to the engine but sound great further back and vice versa....

I have 3" summit turbo mufflers dumping before the diff with turndown angled 45 degrees outward with a 413 truck motor. They sound AWESOME. loud rumble at idle and, unlike my Flowmaster 40's, actually quiet down and smooth out around 2000 to 2500 rpm for a nice, drone free but tough sounding cruising speed. And they're like $35 each. Bonus.
