Muffler options

Hey yall what mufflers are you running? I'm in the marker for a new one and also I want to get rid of the fart can on mine.

 

I don't know who looks at these trucks and says "the only thing I could improve on this truck is the exhaust. It needs to sound like it's taking a s**t everywhere it goes." I can guess though. (Someone carved "Lopez" in to the radiator.)

I am getting old but run a welded thrush because I am immature. They stand up well to intentional backfires unlike the stamped ones. My last stamped one blew out when I let off an epic backfire during "art night". Lots of older folks enjoying a five gallery open house night lining both sides of the road. Traffic was at a crawl but I was able go gain enough speed for a good fuel dump and cause I am sure multiple pant shitting events. I got lots of stinkeye but it still makes me smile today. Now with fuel injection those days are over.

Willz, That looks "young" haha

Well, when I finish my turbo KA24e-t build, it'll probably be going straight out the fender, or I'll be doing a straight piped 3" to the side of the bed like this BMW....Because #racecar

I am going to be way off the pace here by mentioning that a Honda Accord muffler works real well and gives a very satisfying, very quiet, trundling sound that is most pleasant to these ears.

 

Fuck that loud shit.

I'm putting a g20 "variable capacity" muffler on my z22 powered 510. It has a valve that opens at rpm making it a straight through muffler, but cruising around, valve closes, and it's a good chambered muffler.

That looks good! The young comment was a reference to your young and annoying post

There are a couple of nissan 380's at the junkyead near my house. I'm thinking about cutting one off and welding it on mine haha

 

i replaced the exhaust on my 280 as a whole unit, 2.5" on the old one and cut the pipe off right at the manifold. had a friend cut and weld the entire thing so it'd fit and it doesn't sound bad at all!

Mine does not pop it just sounds very rice-y and I don't like it. I want something more quite. I'm not setting any land speed records or doing Dyno pulls so I don't really care about performance. Just want something simple

 

 

OK this is simple. If it has a fart can or just sounlds like a fart can and you don't like it, simply get a $20 econo muffler from.... any muffler shop, NAPA, wallmart where ever and a couple of clamps.
