Re: Wanted: Loud Mufflers (MRKearney)
I'm using Flowmasters, but not Delta Flow. I'm using Delta Force - this is Flowmasters racing series. Plenty loud.
I'm actually faking sidepipes on a '70 BB. After three different sidepipe exhaust systems, all of which robbed power, I went to full length headers, Delta Force (they're very small) to the side, then 3" down the side covered by fiberglass covers - loud, low restriction.

go to autozone and buy a couple of those stainless steel ricer mufflers.
tried one on my car and i thought my ears were going to bleed.
almost as loud as an open pipe.

Moroso Spiral Flows, they just pretend to be mufflers. :D
They're nice at idle. They're nice at cruise...but for effect, I need to quote an old hot-rodder I know:
"Dude, your car idles quietly, you drive it around base quietly, but I've been behind you when you open it up to get on the highway...and when those secondaries come open it's like OH MY GAWD THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!!!"

I run headers to duals, through converters and then it's just exhaust tips.
Why use mufflers ?

Re: Wanted: Loud Mufflers (RUXperienced)
Sidepipes would definitely be the method of choice, but if you want mufflers, and if you want extremely cheap, KBD Targas, (sold under a few different names/brands) worked great for me. Basically open tubes with some damping area around the outside. See the muffler section of most Vette part Dealers.
The 4 upward-pointing chrome tips are great :D

whatever you do, don't go with dynomax super turbo's :nono: they are very quiet. i had them put on when i had my duals put on....within a week i had tore off and thrown in the trash :crazy:

Solution : headers+duals+Monza tips = WHATDIDYOUSAY :eek: :eek:
BTW: My Dynomax headers with stock Y-pipe-Y thru Monza mufflers (not just tips) rattles pics on interior walls on start up and sets off car alarms when I park :D :D :D

Flowmasters are pretty loud, but they also cost alot. I actually use Hooker mufflers. They make the Aerochamber and Max flows and both sound good for about 50 dollars a muffler.
