Need Quiet Mufflers

I am interested in ultimate performance by paying the price of a noisy interior. Its a 1977 C3. I have gotten older and have been there/done that with loud pipes. I take long rides and want peace and quiet where I dont have to blast my radio................ Any suggestions short of buying a Cadilac?????????????

I Have a 70 454 with dynomax mufflers out the back they have the mounting brackets on the mufflers like the originals. Its got a nice tone not to loud but everyone doesn't agree on what is loud or quite. Best if you find other vetts to listen to.

They belong on pump jockey Mustangs and Camaros, not Vettes..

I have Dynomax on my car too. I bought Universal ones from Jegs and had them fitted. The sound is nice.

If you want factory quiet, check Corvette Central #323765 (cat back). I have their product on my 1967 and it is passenger car quiet.

Walker QuietFlow series mufflers are very quiet and still flow well. Any muffler shop can get them. They are quieter than Dynomax (which is Walkers performance line).

Dynomax Super Turbos here with a crossover pipe and I think they're perfect. Nice tone without being obscene, quiet on the highway. There is a slight resonence in mine at 1000 rpm but it's very small.
