Loudest nastiest...mufflers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ChevyDude · 08-30-2005, 09:25 AM

My truck will just be a Sunday cruiser, what mufflers will be the loudest, nastiest sounding?

Jim_PA · 08-30-2005, 09:43 AM

Dynomax Turbo tubes If you want the loudest you can get

**N2TRUX** · 08-30-2005, 09:44 AM

Why run mufflers if you want it loud. Just put some 4" pipe back there so it will drive everyone insane......

stllookn · 08-30-2005, 10:16 AM

Flowmaster 40's are pretty loud and raspy. Many have changed them out after a bit since they are so noisy...that has to say something! You can go the Flowmaster website and hear the differences. Dynomax may have a website for your enjoyment too...LOL!

matthufham · 08-30-2005, 11:00 AM

flowmaster 40's not delta flow 40's (delta=quiet)

navybear70 · 08-30-2005, 11:09 AM

Yes, make sure you get the original Flowmaster 40 series "American Thunder"'s. Those are the loudest mufflers...unless, of course, you get some glasspacks, heat em up and stuff a garden hose up the pipe! (Not reccomended) The problem with straight pipe is the lack of backpressure. Make the truck run and sound like crap...IMO.

ONE CHAMBER FLOWMASTERS

**special-K** · 08-30-2005, 01:30 PM

The Walker Turbo Tubes and DynaMax round-style are non-baffled and really crack when you get in it.

Fred T · 08-30-2005, 02:13 PM

Straight pipes with an expansion tip, which boosts the bass. If you're required by law to have a muffler, go with a short, cheap glass pack.

I agree, the turbo tubes are loud as he!! Only other thing I can think of is a one chamber Flowmaster like what was just mentioned. Also the dynomax race bullets are pretty darn loud too.

Almost forgot dont know how but the newer 1 chambers are a bit quieter (not much)... So if you see some older ones grab them quick !

ChevyDude · 08-31-2005, 10:23 AM

Flowmasters are anything but raspy

If you want loud and nasty, go the redneck route and lose the muffler all together. That should annoy the neighbors nicely

camaro__thunder · 08-31-2005, 12:55 PM

You can make almost any muff raspy depending on the engine.. If you have a fast revving small block they sound great.. Gotta love a stroker !

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 08-31-2005, 03:44 PM

Dual 12" glasspacks........or a straight 2.5" pipe. I ran mine without a muffler but came close to getting a ticket so I went and bought a 18" glasspack and there's not much difference between that and no muffler at all.

bigjimzlll · 08-31-2005, 05:06 PM

dynomax bullets. They were just as loud as open headers on my truck...they are also not allowed for street use..but...

cdowns · 08-31-2005, 07:04 PM

whatever muffler you choose if you get your hands on a couple of 18"long pieces of brass tubing and install right after the muffler it will make sounds that nobody else has// also nothing makes noise like horsepower!!!!

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-31-2005, 07:12 PM

The HOOKER ones are pretty nasty also, deepest ones I have heard yet

bad link, here it is.

BRASS TUBING=RESONANCE ever wonder why they make tubas and trumpets out of brass???

muddpile · 09-01-2005, 12:48 AM

Want ignorantly loud? Get the unbaffled glasspacks or tractor mufflers (you can see daylight easily though them, and the little ridged baffles lining the inside) and put them on backwards. Instant noise!

matthufham · 09-01-2005, 04:19 PM

hmm, brass. does anybody make 12 inch long brass tips for a 2" dual system?
