Alright guys, I've got a 86 TA with a new 350 with a melling cam. I've got the stock manifolds, no cat, and the 80 series flowmasters.

It sounds nice and mean. I like it loud.

What kind of sound difference would i get if i put a short glasspack before the muffler?

Would it be quieter?

Thanks.

Gary

 

Please help me out guys, will a glasspack quiet down my exhaust? i'd like to keep it loud.

Also is the flowmaster 80 series the loudest muffler there is?

Of course it would be quieter!!

The more mufflers you install the quieter it's going to be.

But how much quieter will it be....say i installed a 6 inch glasspack. would it be like having a cat on?


Has anybody out there done this?

Thanks

I think you would find that the glass pack will hurt your performance MORE than some of today's new catylitic converters, such as the 3-inch Catco or Random Technology systems. The glass pack is an early-sixties technology. I'd either leave your system alone, or add a converter up the line.

FWIW, my 133,000 mile 305 just ran nearly 101 MPH with a fully functional Carsound 3-inch universal catylitic converter.

Thanks for the info...i guess i won't put one on....

are the flowmaster 80 series the loudest muffler out there?

the loudest muffler I have heard on a car with stock manifolds is a 40 series flowmaster. the single muffler is louder than the crossflow. my friend has the 80 series and my dad has the 40 and it is quite a bit louder.
