Mellow muffler choice

[3400-95-Modified]

I don't think you'll eliminate that sound with a different muffler...

yeah i found the cheapest version of that quietflow muffler..lol try the glasspack it should provide the same effect as the magnaflow..same straight through design and i think with the magnaflow you are partly paying for the name.

i'll take a pic of the way it's mounted. kind of a cock eyed angle coming off of my main pipe. the offset of either end didn't really matter to me. i got it exiting in the right cutout in the bumper.


the video of your truck my car use to do the cackle like that before you pulled in your driveway. they are probably right on being able to tune that out. i haven't had the edelbrock on in awhile but i messed around with the tune a lot since then. i'll get another video with that on again in the coming weeks.

That one you linked is a lot cheaper. I might try that instead of this one I found with the longer case: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/wlk-21856
Edit: just noticed it's offset/offset...that will be tougher to fit too because I already welded the pipe for offset/center location.

And I found a 12" glasspack that should be similar to the 4" Magnaflow for cheap.

Here's a video I just took of the truck. The guys on pro-touring.com seem to think I can take the cackle out with the tune...I dont think that will do it.

this mufflers pretty tame as far as the cackle goes. never really got on it when i had it out before since i was on my way to get it inspected with a expired sticker. lol it's not a bad muffler. it almost sounds stock when driving around normal style but as you can kinda tell in the video it get's loud when you get on it.

18" from flange to flange on the round muffler in the middle. i got this Walker Exhaust 21548 Muffler. came from summit off of ebay. there page says 16" case length. overall length is 20".

found a round magnaflow that's 12" end to end.. this should fit in your area.

i think the magnaflow might actually smooth out and remove the cackle when decelerating..i remember a little something when i had the edelbrock one on there. my newb ass didn't v-band the round magnaflow or the cutout so those take a few minutes longer to swap out. might try it with the cutout section in there and see if there's much of a difference versus having the magnaflow in there.


at about 1 minute in is about 1/2 mile away from where i had the camera sitting. notice how you can still here the car..lol this is with the edelbrock muffler.

That sounds good. I can't hear any crackle in the video...can you hear it in person? I think I'm gonna try one.

How long is that Magnaflow where the resonator would be? I may need to do that with mine too. I've got about 12" from the cat to the bend in the pipe before it goes over the axle, so there's not much room. And how big is the quiet flow you put on? I found one in offset/center 2.5" that I need that is 19" case. Most of em are 14" case so extra length should be better. (That's what she said.)

turns out it's pretty quiet inside the car.. could actually listen to the radio..lol

brought it up to and past 5k in 2nd




longer one.. going up a hill and some flat areas..

Mine is single outlet at the factory Z cutout in the bumper.

Here's a video of the Dynomax VT...I'll get a better one with the GoPro before I pull it off.

i think i remember seeing that video before. doesn't sound bad. forgot you guys had the single cutout in the bumper.

Yes, yes it is loud... LOL

It's similar to a Flowmaster 40 series, only a few curved baffles in it, no padding.

lol sound deflection technology my ass. it deflects all the sound out the pipe. still does sound good

Yeah Jon has an Edelbrock too and they are loud as shit. haha Couldn't really hear it cackle & pop in the video. Can you hear it in the car?

I thought you already had the Quietflow on...thanks for swapping it for a vid. Can't wait to hear it.

that's an old video did that last year iirc..that muffler is loud as shit and has been hanging on my wall since not long after i made that video..lol sounds good though

stuck the camera in the headrest. the hole in the middle perfectly fits the camera. the only thing with the quietflow is it's a single outlet so if your going for the fake dual style like my car has it will look weird..my little bit of not giving a shit i just went with the single outlet setup.

you can hear the edelbrock cackle in the car. don't remember if it popped or not. been awhile since i had that muffler on.

the mufflers are all v-banded so swapping them is easy. only thing i have to play with are hangers and those are easy too.

didn't get around to it.. rained friday and had 2hrs of cutting grass amongst an oil change and u-joint greasing..

should be good for one this weekend..gotta rig up a temporary hanger for the mid section of exhaust..i'll get one of the quietflow..

here's one i did awhile back with the edelbrock muffler. the muffler is loud as shit..the difference between it and open exhaust is pretty much nothing..lol

[woody90gtz]

Had any time to get a video? Car is sidelined with an axle issue right now so it would be a good time to order a muffler! haha

[geldartb]

Hey if you can shoot a video for me, put it in a lower gear and get it up in the rpms a little bit and let off so it decels like a stick. I could do that with my 4t60e by putting it in L. Then I could see if it crackles & pops. My Borla never did any of that stuff when it was auto under normal driving.

will do or at least try. should be able to put it in 2 and bring it up in the rpm's and let off the gas. at that use to sound good with the edelbrock. don't remember exactly but iirc it cackled upon decel when doing this before. haven't done much driving with the quietflow on there.

i usually get the cackle when it downshifts into 2 with normal driving.

[woody90gtz]

no video yet..put it on last month to get a sticker since a lot of places told me to basically go f myself with that on..

i also have a 4" round magnaflow muffler where the resonator would go. not sure if it really does anything since it's a straight through design. i'll see if i can get one next saturday if work doesn't decide to crap on my saturday.. i think i have videos of the edelbrock in my car thread on here. i was a half mile away from the camera and you could still hear the car. lol normally i just run it with the cutout bolted on and what ever muffler i have in the back.

i got the stock manifolds on now since i took the headers off to v-band them and i needed something on to get a sticker..doesn't seem like the manifold made much of a difference with the loudness but they raped my top end.
