what do you guys think the best sounding mufflers are? right now i have a 390 with headers and glass packs, but i dont really like the sound of it. so leave your opinions on the best ones please lol.

thanks

 

Really depending on what kind of sound and how loud ill tell you know glasspacks are more for the snappy raspy type sound and well can get pretty loud i like the sounds of my flowmaster 40s on my truck really sounds mean and aggresive loud to a degree but not overkill and blarin

 

For the $ $ Summit has a $15 muffler that sounds great. I replaced Flowmasters with them as I didn't like the Flowmaster Blat blat blat on my 79.

 

I don't care for flowmaster, and IF I'd spend that much money on a muffler it be on a magnaflow(basically same price, but I'd say they sound better).

 

Along the lines of budget mufflers, the raptor turbo-style sounds alot like the summits, were about $19/ea but were found local so no shipping charges.

 

i am a flowmaster lover. i have 2 trucks with them now. when the exhaust finally falls off my 77 it will be dual with 40 series. the glasspacks are too loud. if you want loud, get glasspacks.

 

Another vote for Flowmaster 40's. Great sound!!

 

Flow masters resonate too much! You know, that annoying bass-y hum at certain rpm's????? Try the performer series from edelbrock. They are nice and melow until you stand on the gas pedal and they have very good flow #'s. They are also made of stainless steel (no rust!).

 

- A lot- of the sound is not only from mufflers but from tips. If you have a long, wide tip you're going to lower the pitch of sound- that and the size of the pipe you use for exhaust. Expect higher pitches from small diameter exhausts...

Glasspacks can be incredible with the right combination of pipes and tips depending on what kind of a sound you're looking for...

 

Flowmasters. They sound great and last longer.

 

Flowmaster fan here, the new super 40's are more compact and have good tone, bu won't give you a head ache in the cab, I am very pleased with mine!

 

I replaced my glasspacks with the Summit 2.5" turbos, still sound good just not as loud. I guess I'm getting old.

 

I dont think flowmasters resonate that much at all i have 40s on mine and its just right now my dynomaxs i had on there resonated a lot more but thats okay

 

I'm a fan of hooker aero-chambers my self....but im putting 6" dynomax race bullets, which ive had laying around, on my truck when i get around to new exhaust.

 

I just put Flowmaster 40's on the 77 302, sweet!
