muffler choices

abodyjoe said
here is a video clip of my dart. in the video it has tti headers,3" pipe to the rear bumper, magnaflow X-pipe and dynomax super turbo mufflers. i didn't think it sounded too bad.. :)

in person it actually sounded more quiet then it sounds in the video and sounded way deeper.

really? never experienced that in my car.. not with the good 360 and 3.91 gears or the stock motor in it now with 2.94 gears. what mufflers were ya running? what X-pipe ? what size pipe?

i know my car had to be jetted up 2 jet sizes on the primary side of the carb when i went to the x-pipe and 3" enhaust.

sounds great joe i realy like that sound, how is the sound inside the car driving both light trotle and under full power? (dont need any video or so of it, just alitle wondering) since most cars i have heard with x pipes have had that italian sportscar sound wile driving havent realy listened to them from the outside

my car had a fairly mean 340 with alot of compression and a comp 280r sollid roller in it, TTI headers 3" exhaust with a flowtech x-pipe and hooker aerochambers and full tailpipes 3.91 gears.
my friends 65malibu has a 383 smallblock about the same build as my litle 340 but more cubes and even the same camgrind,running a tunnelram and hooker 1 3/4" headers and a full 3" exhaust with a homebuild x-pipe that looks just the same as my flowtech x-pipe and 3" multifrequency mufflers (never heard of those? dont worry they are swedishmade apple mufflers and are very wellknown over here but i dont think they have ever tried to export them) they are oval straigh thru mufflers with a tuningchamber in them very big mufflers cant remember the exact size of the body of them but they are about 26" long and about 4x8 and have a pretty nice and deep sound at idle and a are superquiet on the highway when i have been following him on the highway in my dailydriver with the windows down i can hardly hear it running when the malibu is just 60 feet in front of me.. these mufflers are where the fueltank used to be under the car and it has short tailpipes but they dont dump under the car atleast, he is running 3.73 gears..
its alitle funny how two diferent exhausts with so diferent mufflers and locations of them can have that same stupid "sucking" sound..

and i hear you on the jetting i had the same experience on my duster when i built my last exhaust

btw my new 340 will be about the same build as the old one(even reusing the cam) but alot lower compression and with the addition of a lysholm screwblower will hopefully make alitle more power and will still be shifted at over 7000rpms i love to hear a smallblock scream late at night:toothy10:
