Flowmaster/cherry bomb combo...
MY flowmaster 80 series is just too loud for my liking....
I love the sound ..but.. its just getting me in trouble.. and draws attention... I have a very healthy cam....and its loud...Now i was wondering.. should i try to cut off my tail pipes and replace them both with a set of cherry bombs??? one on each side.. ???? i just looooooooove that mellow...sound.. with a nice cam...just purring away.....not so loud that you cant hear over it...
Maybe there is a whole new muffler i could put in there???
any idease /sound clips???
Rob
The loud exhaust has gotten old........
Thanx guys

i would suggest using only 1 muffler. flowmaster makes quieter mufflers, however it would be more difficult to have 2 tailpipes exiting out each side of the rear. i use the flowmaster 30 series muffler, and it sounds great and isnt too loud. there are plenty of options out there.

I have a vortex catback that is made by cherry bomb. The inside of the mufffler kinda looks like this

lol.. that was terrible.. well I'm just trying to say they are pretty wide open with open passage. They have a lower pitch rumble and not so high like flowmasters. I like them alot! Of course I dont mind loud but... my stock 305 isnt all that loud. New cam should fix that a bit lol

just a though...I would go with maybe a borla muffler....they have a nice growl at idle....and when you get on i...it sounds great. It's not as loud as a flowmaster....but....has a good nice tone....not loud inside the car much at all. One of my friends has a borla on his Camaro (1991 Z28 1LE 5.7 TPI) it sounds great, nice quality tone, just not as loud as flowmaster....again..it's just a thought...I'm sure there are plenty of brands you could go with.....
I have a Edelbrock #5109 and it sounds pretty nice, not too much internal noise so you can still have a bit of conversation on accelerating. I am swapping it out though for a 80 series Flowmaster, the Edelbrock has a very clean sound though.
