Which muffler survey

[Gary_gtx67]

Im not sure what TINNY flowmaster sound your talking about but every flowmaster sound i have ever heard had a very deep rumble to them! By the way in thes 90's stupid glasspacks and cheapo turbo mufflers were a hit until the late 90's when flowmaster's IN TEXAS came very common to every freaking Ford lover out there!

Hemi Mufflers w/ stock diameter pipe

It seems someone out there is really selling the idea that bigger is better with everyone wanting to use 3" exhaust. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer the sound of the stock Hemi mufflers. On a 440 the 2-1/2" pipes, with 2-1/4 tailpipes work great. With the RPM range you normally operate on the street, the larger diameter does no good, because the benefits are at mid range on up and who really keeps it wound up like that?

Also you can carry on a conversation easily & you don't get the unpleasant resonance with the after market mufflers. I got a little off the subject, I would use the Walker muffler over the Flow-master muffler.

Beep-Beep

Here in Southern California Flowmasters came out in the mid to late 80's,
(they're made here)
I bought my first set in 89', at the "Pomona swap meet" they were unpainted, and most people used them for Racecars, including myself, I remember they only had 1 Chamber for a while "Really Loud" and then later 2 Chamber "loud"
and you're right about the Ford guys, "Everybody" had them on their 5.0 mustangs,
here in So Cal, from the 90's on.

I too agree, nothing sounds as good as a stock 440 Magnum with the factory exhaust system, it's one of the best sounding factory systems ever produced!

unfortunately my current 440 actually needs the 3" system, I tried to keep the factory style exhaust but with high compression/solid lifter cam etc,it could'nt breathe on the top end and performance suffered, I did try it though!

When I got my pipe job,I got a coupla hookers:rolling:I might be at a slightly higher performance level,so 4 inch stainless pipe and hooker aero chambers with an "X" :grin:

i have dynamax turbo mufflers on my race belvedere the car at idle has a deep choppy idle then it comes alive when you get on it i'am trying to save up some money to have the system replaced from headers back going from a 2-1/2 to a 3" then going to go with a race one chamber flowmaster my thinking is IF YA GONNA BE A BEAR WHY NOT AND BE A GRIZZLY INSTEAD" besides i only drive the car on the weekends weather permiting so it will give me something to look forward to. my buddy in florida had a 68 hemi race dart (clone) with the one chamber flowmasters on it 3" inch tubes when he would pull into a car show and idle pass the dj's booth it would backfeed efect through his soundsystem plus it was a real attention getter to. he had only raced the car a few times it would run 10:80'S -10:95'S so my vote is for flowmasters all the way!!!!

[george68hemirr]

flowmaster is the thunder sound you are looking for

 

[Pastortom1]

You wanna know what I wish?

I wish that SOMEONE with the time and ability, would make a high quality demo featuring the actual sound of EACH of these muffler systems, on the SAME car, using the SAME pipes and tips, so that we could ALL make a sound and educated decision on what we'd like to hear from our Mopars.

Now THAT would be constructive, and I'd PAY to see/hear or receive a copy of a well made demo DVD.

Let's face it......unless we have personally and painstakingly compared the different sounds on much the same cars and engines with the same pipe setups, we really don't KNOW......do we?? I for one would REALLY like to know. :wavesmile::th_krazy::banana:

Mufflers

Ravens sound WICKED!

 

[CUDACOLLINS]

Flowmasters 50 series,with a X-pipe - not to loud, a nice deep tone. I run Flowmaster 40 series, with a 3" TTI exhaust with X-pipe, sounds great. :yes:

 

[Clay Dots]

Gotta say Dynomax, stong but not loud/annoying. Had the Flowmasters and my wife said that car is not going to say in our neighborhood, changed to the dynomax that I hade on my Challenger and once again my wife and neighbors welcomed me back into the fray. ) ;o)

 

[satarunner]

2" TTI's 3" pipe 3" Flowmaster 40's that dump before the rearend.
