Title: Muffler recommendations
Post by: Reed on July 26, 2008, 02:48:59 PM
I know this is a topic that has probably been beaten to death, but lets go ahead and beat the horse some more.

Vehicle = 1971 Pinto 2.0 automatic.  Motor will be left stock, as will exhaust.  No headers, no oversize pipes.  I am looking for a quiet sound with low restriction.  I don't want a glass pack or anything loud, just a nice quiet muffler that won't restrict flow too much.

Any recopmmendations on what will fit?  I believe the exhaust pipe is the original 1.5 inch pipe.

Thanks!

Any brand recommendations or will any turbo muffler do?

Yes!! I can run over people W/O them hearing me comming at an idle.


EXCELLENT!  That is my goal, especially crossing guards.  They drive me nuts waiving their little stop signs..... :lol:

I will do exactly this setup on my Pinto.

I am a HUGE fan of magnaflow mufflers.
Quiet at lower rpm... a little growl at upper... and straight thru design for maximum power.

I agree.  I am going to try adding that Dynomax first and see if that doesn't quiet the car down enough for me.  If it is still too loud then I will get a new turbo muffler.
