Raspy Exhaust vs Deep Rumble Exhaust

[DynaSlim]

So now I'm looking at mufflers because I'd like to have a quiet, almost can't hear the car running muffler as well as a obnoxious sound from the cutout.


I was thinking open pipes at the dump but I've been doing that for a long time and was wondering how the bullet mufflers and a Chamber muffler sounded behind a sbc v8 for instance. Does it still retain most of the rasp or will it quiet it to a rumble? . As for being quiet, I was looking at very generic mufflers. Maybe just one to handle cutting the sound way down.

Anyone have any good recommendations on a raspy and rumbling muffler?

Depends on how much you want to spend. Cheapest way to go is with a catback to a flowmaster transverse muffler just like factory almost. Most expensive is a custom true dual with an X or H pipe and dual mufflers. Since you have an F-body i would go with a 3" Y off your manifolds to a single Dynomax Bullet (get the longest 16" one to keep the volume down-ish) then instead of a transverse muffler just go straight-pipe Y again just after the rear axle but go down to 2.5" out back. That will give you the nice deep sound you are looking for. You can try to piece it together with various exhaust kits but if you know of a good performance exhaust shop that will bend you up one i personally would go that route.

for mellow, glass pack type, for rasp chambered no packing the less chambers the louder more raspy sound you get, ive herd x pipes have an even more high strung rasp to them than H pipes but no personal experience on that

Hooker aero chamber catback.

SLP two in the left was best for this. But that exhaust is out of production.

Just don't get a loud mouth exhaust. Every hillbilly with no taste runs that god awful exhaust on their slow turds.

Doesn't someone on here with a som t/a have that loudmouth? Anywho.....

For now I'm going with bullets i guess, cheap and should bolt right up behind my headers.

I had 2 into 1 to the back out of 2 exhaust before, no mufflers and it was actually quiet at cruising and idle but if you got on it or up on the converter foot breaking it around 2600 it would get loud with a raspy sound and the back pressure rasp as well when I let off the throttle doing revs. That's kind of what i wanted again and was looking for.

Take a video and post it when you get it done

Which one? I posted a video on tcg Facebook page of it with long tube headers and about a 1 foot long pipe off the end of em. I'll get another video later of it outside my garage idling like that for ya.

I meant when you get your new exhaust. If you need a place to go and have it done, i had mine done at sasser custom exhaust in new lenox. He will do whatever you want and custom bends everything. Decent price too.

Cool. But i don't thing you can bend oval pipe? I need ground clearance. I was talking to a friend and he said we could do it in his garage, just sucks we don't have a lift.

I guy i use to work with has an 88 Trans Am and had a true dual 3" with an x pipe ran right where the stock exhaust ran on the right hand side with 2 flowmaster 40s. Its really tight but it fits and doesn't rattle or have any clearance issues. You dont need oval pipe

Just getting past my trans cross member will be low. The stock one was much smaller. And the car is still at stock height. I like able to drive over speed bumps head on. LoL

 

[BOPC_Fan]

What kind of trans crossmember are you using?

The spohn torque arm with drive shaft loop mount Crossmember.
