Title: Good quiet mufflers
Post by: dcbchristian on May 20, 2010, 11:43:14 PM
I'm trying to figure out what some good quiet mufflers are. I wanna put a quiet muffler in to be a sleeper. Know any good ones? Got any I could buy? Thanks!

One of my good pals is a Goerlichs dealer, and I highly recommend anything they make.  I had their "version" of the Flowmaster's on my car, and they were IDENTICAL.  In fact, even the stamping number was the same, so I have my suspicions that they are made at the same place, only the Goerlichs are MUCH cheaper.

Flowmaster mufflers are NOT quiet. If Goerlichs has a copy I assume they are loud as well. I have a set of the Summit turbo mufflers on my dually & they are a good flowing, fairly quiet muffler. And they are cheap too....

dynomax sound pretty nice and are fairly quite for aftermarket. loud is a matter of opinion i guess. you can do a lot to tune the sound of the system by using a resonator ahead of the muffler or a cat if so required.   nice part about the glasspack ahead of the mufflers  is you can try it 3 ways till you get a tone you are happy with.

Yeah, Im sorry, I guess that I did not clarify myself very well there.  I was just trying to give an example of my impression of their quality, meaning thatperhaps he should see what else that company offers more along the quiet line.

One of my buddies had a set of dynomax on his 5.0 that were quiet, and he couldn't stand it so he took them off to get something louder.. it wasn't really any louder than the stock muffs, only deeper
