Default mufflers

Hey,all.

I just ordered this exhaust(pn#603-836) from Mid-America:http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=4.1267

Any opinions on what mufflers would be the best?

Btw,I pretty much blew the whole budget on the exhaust,so reasonably priced mufflers would be more realistic right now.

Thanks.
Randy

I like walker 17219s and think they'd work well in your application. Smooth idle, nice and racy when you get on it.

2.5" offset outlet center inlet.

I'm currently running a pair of 3" Dynomax Race Magnum "bullets." At $30/per they are certainly cheap, but for a muffler they don't do much muffling. :lol:

I do have a pair of Flowmaster 40 Series "Delta Flow" mufflers for sale that came off my '74. ~4000miles use. $60. I liked them, but were a little too quiet for me.

:cheers:

Hooker makes some nice mufflers that are around 50 dollars each. They have the Aerochambers and Max flows both are great mufflers.

Just installed the Spintec mufflers iwth a 2 1/2" X pipe. If you like the sound of Flowmasters, wait until you here the Spintecs, a little pricey here paid $150 ea.

So,to clarify;what I'm seeing is I don't have to run a Corvette specific muffler to run with this particular exhaust? I can go ahead and use a "universal" fit muffler form one of the name companies?

Anyone know the best case length and offst to use?

Thanks again for all your help,everyone!

Get the Walkers, they are a direct fit and have the tips and necessary brackets attached.

i got mine off here. for $30 (shipping) i just went to the C5 racing section and asked if any guys still had thier stock mufflers and what they would part with them for. well a couple guys said if i would pay for shipping, i could have them! :cool:

they are a little quiet, but i love the sound they make. boomy at idle, and calm until you open it up. :cool:

Yes, and fit correctly. You don`t whine up with a plummers nightmare trying to locate hangers and adapters. Plus no pump jockey annoying sound. If you have some HP, it comes right through. :thumbs:

Hi
I also need new mufflers for my C3 '79.
I don't know what is on now, 2 different ones with no marking.
how do I know what sound they make? or how loud?
I was thinking of getting some dynomax super turbo..
i don't want too loud, but a good sound.
whats the difference to a flowmaster or hooker?or other brand and type?
thanks
