What are the quietest performance mufflers?

I would like to make the exhuast on my C3 as quiet as possible, what are the best mufflers to go with?

I have no personal experience with them but have heard very good compliments about Walker Quiet Flow mufflers.

I dont want the exhaust to drown out the blower and mechanical lifters.

My dynomax Super turbo's were pretty quiet on my C4 (daily driver). When you nailed the gas they would come alive, but noway near that of Flowmaster or Borlas.

Quiet and performance do not go together, it is simple physics you muffle the sound you lose power from restricting the exhaust flow.

Walker quietflows are probably the quietest you will find while still flowing somewhat decently.

Chambered system. Probably one of the most quiet...

Yes - I am kidding...

I'm pretty happy with the plain-jane "turbo" mufflers from <insert vendor name in Michigan here>.

I think Quiet and performance dont belong in the same sentence.

I did not want anything as loud as the flowmasters, so I went with the Dynomax Super Turbos. I am happy with the choice. Relativelty quiet, but still has a nice sound when you get on it.

Magnaflows are pretty quiet. I've got them on my 350 powered truck...

A year ago when I put my Dynomax Ultraflows on I thought they were quieter than the stock mufflers I had. But since then they've "broken in". I was driving the other day and gave them a rap as I was going under an overpass. I think I gave a couple sedan drivers a coronary.

Dynomax Super Turbos are about the best quieter performance mufflers. I have them and they are a little louder than stock but still sound like a Vette should sound.

They would be a but quieter if I were running cats.
