choosing mufflers

TTI’s, followed by QTP’s, followed by DynoMax Superturbos.

i have cherry bombs on currently, alot of back firing

Dynomax Ultra-Flo on mine. I believe 17517 is the part number(?)

The exhaust on this is one of countless experiments just wondering how it would work out.
I fabbed it in my Dad's driveway about 25 years ago.

Two things make this system sound slightly different than most:
1. The entire system is the same size as the collector, which is 3.5"
2. Part of the fab project included making an X pipe crossover

I never really considered large pipes might look stupid per an earlier comment, but may have had
some awareness they stuck out because I concealed it somewhat with scuff/wax and grease remover/high temp flat black rattle can paint.

It all works well but is pretty difficult from a packaging perspective
and I don't actually recommend this combination to anyone (unless you really like
to party...in that case, have at it)

This also has the known problematic combination of 2" Super Comps and a low deck
which I also don't recommend although it does work just fine also.


Here it is at idle:


Here's an 1/8 mile pass:

Here's an 1/8 mile pass:

I did the same on my car. 2" tube headers into 3 1/2 collectors, 3 1/2 headpipes going into same size hooker aero's, with turndowns. Probably overkill for a small block, and kinda blatant

 

[GTXDAN]

Flomaster Flo- FX 2.5" on my 70 GTX with headers, they're SS and have a nice rumble.

 

[HEMI-ITIS]

Clean pass! What did it go?

 

[BSB67]

That's flyin!

Thanks.
It’s what I wanted the car to be overall, so there are compromises. That was at the Mopar Madness weekend. Drove it out and back, 350-ish miles. It seems to run okay for what it is. I’m sure headers would pick it up a bit.

That’s f***ing cool!

I run a 4inch collector to 4 inch pipe to a 4 inch hooker Aero flow muffler and an x pipe. It’s kinda quiet till you hit the go pedal

That's sweet, super blatant, and I like it. Loved the Aero Chambers, had them in 3" for several years. Might try them again someday.

Thanks Al. 7.15, 7.16, 7.17, 7.17 on that day.

I know the burnout was excessive but didn't care. My philosophy with ancient bias ply cheater slicks is: I want to do an awesome big burnout every freaking time. Because the tires will probably dry rot before I use them up anyway, and if I end up going slow, at least I looked good for a minute doing an awesome burnout.

The new silver paint job won't really look right to me until there is a little rubber added to the quarter panels LOL.

The Ultra Flos 17513 on my car.

Love it

I ran 3 1/2 in/out hooker aeroflows on my Tina. They were the cheapest 3 1/2s I could find. Good sound once I got used to it (chambered muffler, but don't sound like Flowmasters), pretty quiet for what they are, and went high nines thru em. (More than doubled in price since I bought em..... but what hasnt?!)

Love it

you mentioned hooker aeros. i put a set of them through a 2.5" system with headers on my Coronet with has a midly built 400. i have used the hooker on my trucks for years. no drone, not overly loud at idle at all. i kinda wish it was louder. but sounds like a mean rumble when you get on it. would recommend.

I really like straight-thru magna-flow stuff. I generally buy stainless for my street cars. They're well made, quiet, with no noticeable power losses.

But you've got a blown Hemi, you NEED 4"pipes. I've just got a n/a small block and 3 1/2 is an overkill. It might have run better with a 3" system, but I didnt want to run a reducer.... and I had a bit of leftover 3 1/2 tubing. Headers back, including mufflers, I think I had $120 in the system. I don't think you can get one muffler for that today.

I bought the hooker aeros cause they were the cheapest 3 1/2 in/out I could find, that wasn't a ridiculously small loud race muffler, about 40% of the price of the flowmasters I used on my other car. If I remember, right, $50 ea. Ended up really liking the sound. Darn quiet for a nine second strip/street car.
They are now $155 ea at summit.
But my flowmasters have about tripled too.
