I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a TTI exhaust system for my 340 Challenger.

I prefer a louder non-stock sound. How do the Dynomax Super Turbos sound?

Take a listen to what I have now. Would the Dynomax be louder or quieter?
I can't tell what I have now, they're so rusted.

Try to block out the wind noise, 30sec into the 2nd link is probably the best representation.


Any feedback is appreciated.

Thx

I have them on my 68 318 barracuda .But I don't have tailpipes yet.Not real loud.Sounds a little muffled,but like I said- no tailpipes yet.Not as raspy as I would like.Not loud,That was what I was looking for being a convertible.I would say a Low rumble,compared to a factory type sound level.I plan on an x pipe and tailpipes in the near future.D.S that does sound good.My 2 1/4 inch pipe 318 doesn't sound that good.

3" system with their H-pipe and a .575/.587 lift cam in a 383 do help.


I like them because they have no drone when cruising at a certain RPM like I've heard from Flowmasters.

Not nearly as loud as flowmasters



Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

I had some SuperTurbos on my 440 and it was too quiet. I went with glasspacks and that is too loud. Now I'm trying to find a happy medium. The glasspacks are great until I stand on the throttle. Now I'm thinking Magnaflow or Ultraflows. The Magnaflows are about 10% less expensive than the Ultraflows though the Ultraflows I've had over the years were great mufflers.

They are loud enough to hear the engine and have a sweet growl at low speeds.
They do not drone at any speed and are totally quiet at highway crusing speed.
If you are looking for the thousand horsepower louder than it should be , go with flowmasters..

If you need more "blap", you need more motor with a larger cam and better lobe separation angle.

They droned on my stock 383 RR with full exhaust x pipe and stock exh manifolds, had to install resonators. if you do some searching you will find a lot of drone with guys using stock exh manifolds and full exhaust, headers not a problem.

I agree, they will drone with exhaust manifolds. I have them on a 78 Trans Am with crossover pipe.

I have 3" tti exhaust, H-pipe and Dynomax Super Turbos with a hemi. I like it a lot. It's louder than stock but not as loud as Flowmasters. I find loud mufflers and highway drone obnoxious as I get older.

Had them on a 72 Dart, 360 iron manifolds, no drone, sounded like the video clip at idle, quiet on the highway. At the same time I had a 64 300 with Flowmasters that were loud (413, iron manifolds) loud enough to wake the neighbors when I left for work and loud enough to trip car alarms.

Dynomax - wife approved
Flowmasters - driver approved (everyone else wanted to tar and feather me

Your choice

Would Super Turbo's be much quieter than Hooker Aero chambers? Or about the same? I have 2 1/2" hookers on my car now and I love the sound, but it's just a little too loud now for my taste.

They sound good. No drone. TTI's w/Dynomax Turbos behind the 440. I open up the QTP's when i want to disturb the neighborhood.

I have a TTI header, 21/2 inch exhaust system and the the dynamax mufflers supplies with the system on my duster 340. My motor has just been is rebuilt with cam and pistons last year. I have had a lot of compliments on sound of my exhaust. It's not to loud but still not over bearing. At 60mph it has has a nice rumble tone to it and you can still hear and talk inside the car. My friend just got a duster 360 with flow masters. He can't hear himself think at idle or driving it is so loud. Needless to say, the flowmasters are going into junk pile.
Loud doesn't make horsepower, only noise

cnxt - Not sure what you have now, but based on your sound clips, Dynomax Super Turbos will NOT be as loud. I posted below a chart of different mufflers with the decibel levels.
