mufflers...

I currently have a custom 3" mandrel bent catback with flowmaster 40 series si/so. It sounds good, but isn't loud enough, and doesn't have any 'backbone'. I also seemed to lose a deal of low end power, which this truck desperately needs to get the tires rolling. I don't want redneck loud (don't need the tickets) but i wouldn't mind a little pop/crackle to it. I want it louder and to sound like it has some power behind it. Normally i'm only turning 1200 rpm (only turn 1800 at 80 b/c of tires) and this setup doesn't sound right til 2-3k.

Anyone have suggestions? I like the sound of dynomax, but they don't seem to last long. Never been a fan of magnaflow. Borla/Gibson/Corsa don't seem to be "loud" by anymeans. Was thinking maybe one of those spiral race mufflers? Glasspack would be TOO loud.

I was thinking about an electric cut-out after the Y-pipe to have it loud when I wanted on back-roads, and quieter when in neighborhoods/high traffic areas, but I'm trying to avoid redneck loud...and i would still have the problem of it being too quiet when driving around town.

...also don't want to go thru hassle of installing headers, and have emission tests, so I'm keeping cats.


THANKS

LS1 Sounds - Your Comprehensive Exhaust Resource

Here is a link with some sounds.Might find something you like.

i run a moroso spiral flow on my truck and like the sounds of it and wouldnt go back to flowmaster

go with a aero turbine. I run a 3535, and it's stupid loud. Kinda getting tired of it being so loud actually lol

v force or spin tech

I run FM Super 44s. There's a few vids further down.

ive got dual original 40 series single chamber flowmasters... watch the video in my sig to hear it... it sounds pretty good but not tooo loud.


TIP: if you go with glass packs get atleast 24" theyre not as loud

i also have 2 glass packs FS, and a single in/ dual out 40 series flowmaster FS

i run a 14" magnaflow 4 1/2'' diesel race muffler. Plenty loud. and flows great haha

Personally like the magnaflow idea

HEADERS

get more power and a much better sound, i think you couldt go wrong getting a set.... they would do exactly what you want!

+1 same here

thats sick

My Magnaflow is too quiet, great sound just not enough of it

headers seem like too much work, and i have emission tests



i'm running cats and straight pipe LOVE IT, but will prolly add a 1 chamber to quiet it a lil

me personally i think that the corsa's have a great exhaust note as long as its the sports muffler because at idle is got a real deep tone then when u get on it, it turns slightly raspey but not to bad then once u let off it pops a little
