Default Looking for QUIET mufflers.

Yes, I said quiet. Trying to get interior noise down to almost nil, and my current mufflers have rusted through. I have cutouts when I want to be rumbliscious, but I drive around a lot at night through residential neighborhoods and I don't want to wake everyone up. Plus, it's nicer for tha ladies to have a smooth, quiet-running car. ;)

So, anyways, my question is, who makes a nice, smooth, quiet muffler that will fit our cars and that awful bend they have to go around with the stock pipes for an '81? Performance isn't an issue, as I have the cutout. Cheapness is a plus though.

Walker quietflow. Any muffler shop should be able to get you the correct part number.

Zwede is bang on. Any muffler shop will get you Walkers. They fit well and are quiet.

Enkil, I'm with you on this one. I want it nice and calm on the inside, especially if I'm going on a long trip.

The biggest advance I made to this end, was adding an H-pipe to my dual exhaust. Night and day.

:cheers:

Work toward a stock configuration. Lots of R&D time went into making the system quiet while maximizing performance...plus Walker made those original exhaust systems.
