anyone with mufflerknowledge?

[lappen]

My current setup is 2 3/4" y pipe into 3" single, magnaflow cat, and a muffler from a Sweedish brand called Simons (single in, single out) and then splitted into 2 3" tailpipes (one behind each rear tyre)
Everything is 100% stainless.
The sound is OK, but could be louder

I'm keeping the setup exept for the muffler. (9,5" long, 8" X 5" oval straight thru packed)
here is how it looks:

I want loud deep sound, not the crisp "straight pipe-no muffler sound" and preferably no drone.

Does anyone have knowledge about how the different brands/types sounds?

I am also thinking of doing turndown before rear axle or side exit in front of rear tyre. Would any of these alternatives make any difference in sound?

[silverado_lover]

It sounds like you'd like a Spintech and you'll have more drone with either one of those exhaust setups. I would dump it at the bumper

Thanks:)

How is the Borla XR-1 compared to Spintech?

[silverado_lover]

The XR-1 is also nice, it's on the short list of mufflers that I recommend also

where should I place the muffler? right after the cat or further back . My current muffler is placed right in front of the rear tyres.. about 1 meter from the cat.

[silverado_lover]

I would leave it right where it is, if you put it right after the cat that would also make it drone more

thanks ! I'll probably order a XR-1 some time soon:)

Just get a 40flowmaster you cant go wrong,makes a sbc sound like a monster truck.

A Flowmaster would make it much louder I have the same set up as you but my muffler is a Magnaflow it's mellow so I can hear my music.

flowmasters drone bad though, a Borla is going to be pretty loud. I think you would like a Spintech, Cherry Bomb Extreme, Thrush Welded, or Hooker Aerochambers

Here is a video of my current exhaust :


What do you think? would it be better with Borla xr-1 or Spintech 6000?

[lappen]

OK, I just had to...!
One round Borla XR-1 is on its way from Summitracing :)

The biggest question is what size engine do you have?
