exhaust quiet

Hooker Aero chambers on mine. Now my car is stupid quiet.

Ear plugs work

As Mike has already said, mount the muffs as far back as you can, preferrably behind the rear end housing forget the Flow Masters, look at a Magnaflow or other straight through design, I have a set of 3.0x14 oval magnaflows on my Duster mounted between the rear sub frames and the outer 1/4 panels at the rear bumper, it is quiet at part throttle and non restrictive at WOT, not very quiet at WOT but it is not shattering windows I had a set of 3.5 Bullets on my 440 1969 Dart that dumped under the car straight out of the hooker fenderwells, I wanted to quiet it down so I added about 3 ft of 3.5 inch exhaust pipes in the shape of a V so it dumped in front of the rerar tires.That added pipe made a resonant(SP?) frequency that I was sure would break windows at part throttle bewteen 2700 and 3200 RPM Never again will I add pipes onto the muffs, mount the muffs way back as far as posiible

I have a pair of LARGE turbo mufflers on my Jensen, then another pair of Dynomax bullets out back. It's not quiet but it sure sounds decent.

My motorhome has two 3" Flowmaster 50 series. In TANDEM. It's quiet at idle, sounds like a musclecar when pounded. Not loud at all.

I think mufflers in TANDEM is the way to quiet down an obnoxiously loud car....

What size pipes are you using and do you run the pipes out the back of the car ? Ron

I have a pair of one chamber Flowmasters in the race parts section that may give you the happy medium you are looking for. But I do prefer Magnaflows or Pypes race mufflers.

Use a pair of Dynomax bullets as resonators...it will not change the tone at all but it will reduce the volume at idle several decibels...and at WOT they will have nearly zero effect on performance. They are like turning the amp volume on a Marshall stack from '11' down to about 7 1/2

I think If you live in a residential neighborhood you need to show some respect for your neighbors....I can't stand incessant Dog barking and kids blasting Rap at all hours, so at least to some degree I can respect someone not appreciating our 'Mechanical Music' as much as we do.

just walk up to your neighbors one by one,look them in the eye,and with a stearn tone say"I KNOW" then just walk away.99% of them will leave you alone.

Ron Silva uses 3.5" pipe from the collector to the muffler and 3" DynoMax Super Turbo mufflers on his Valiant, mounted back by the rear bumper.

Surprisingly quiet in person.

The mufflers don't seem to hinder Ron's performance that much.

I have 4 cars, one with 700, one with 550, one with 500 and sidepipes and my daily driver has over 400. My neighbors (I live near a couple golf courses) are for the most part pretty cool and they know when I'm coming in and out of the neighborhood I pretty much just Idle around, keeping the db's to a minimum.

If it's a track only car and you got to do some adjustments, I used to flange my muffs and throw a pair of sears muzzlers on the car, as quiet as a milk truck and nobody bothered me the whole time. sometimes I just shove some wadded up steel wool in the tailpipes, you'd be amazed how many DB's it cuts things down, even at 11+:1 cr's and big overlap cams. don't shove it in too far and you fish it out with a coat hanger or a piece of rod with a bent hook on the end.

Nothing says "hey I'm a Douc%bag" like revving your (you know it's loud) motor for no apparent reason while driving around, like a very bad (and often undeserved) harley or ricer stereotype. I like good tone but not necessarily volume, and to me the most impressive street cars are the ones that are Quicker than they sound. They admire the sound for the right reasons and not the wrong ones. The worst is for a car or Bike to be both Loud AND Slow...and there's wayyyy too many of those out there. If you're loud and fast at least you're not around long enough to bother anybody, loud and slow and your annoyance just lingers on and on....like a lawn mower which most of those guys should just as well be riding

Would my cars be a tenth or 2 quicker running ultraflows instead of Hemi turbos'...probably, but not enough that I miss it. So my street cars are just loud enough, but just not loud enough to be annoying.

Streetwize, took your idea and ran with it.

it took the sound from top fuel down to pro stock and sounds much deeper also

made these removable and adjustable steel wool baskets tonight

Try Spintech. Check out their website. Several videos and muffler options. I love mine. Quiet at idle and sounds great. Good luck. Ken

I removed my one chamber Flowmasters and installed Summit turbo mufflers yesterday. It sounds like my Durango, way too quiet. Back to the drawing board.
