Default Dynomax Muffler question

I currently am using the 'Super Turbos' on my '69 big block 'vert. I wanted to ask if anyone had had those on their car and switched over to the 'Ultraflows' I think they are called.

If so, any power gains and are they a lot louder?

I want to get a bit more power and the mufflers may be the cheapest way to do that. I just don't want a real loud & resonant exhaust note. The Super Turbo's are not too loud but I think a little bit louder would sound better.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Mark

The Ultraflows have a sort of 'pillowy' sound,..not as loud as chamber style (Flowmasters).

I've always like the Super Turbos best,..and they sound better over time.

Purely my opinion.

I also am a Super Turbo fan.

Perfect sound.

I have the DynoMax Super Turbos on my 68 BB and agree they are a little on the quiet side but still throaty sounding. I really don't think you will gain any horsepower with the change you are thinking of. If you are looking for more sound go with the FlowMasters.
