I was wondering what my 84 camaro would sound like with no muffler

 

loud lol

 

I had a break in my pipe before the muffler due to rust and it was pretty loud. There was still some flow through the muffler... I didn't think it sounded that bad, but I did have popping on deceleration. If you're going to drop the muffler, consider a resonator and also keep the cat converter.

 

ok I took it off and it sound good as hell, but there was popping what can I do to stop it

 

Like a Ford 8N.
Put a muffler on it.

 

We had an 8n for a while, not as loud as an old minneapolis moline 445 with no muffler!

I cured my headers with an open 3" Y pipe. Very loud. Just get a good flowing muffler or whatever, but PLEASE do not run no muffler on the streets. I do got a 3" cut out, but thats for showing off at shows/friends use only.

 

I currently am running my car without a muffler, it's got the pipe going back from the cat all the way to the rear right before where the muffler should be.

I think my car sounds great, i think it sounds better than some flowmaster mufflers, in my opinion anyway.

If i'm at idle and rev it all the way up to like 3500 or 4000 rpm then as the revs are coming back down there is a bit of rumble, no loud backfiring or anything just a rumble, i think it sounds great like that though.

I hear resonators help reduce the popping

Hope this helps.


and it's not THAT loud either

it's definitely up there with the other loud cars, like some alarms beep and stuff if i cruise past but i never get pulled over or anything for it being too loud, people don't complain.

maybe it's because i'm in liberal california, dunno, good luck though

 

Put a muffler on it.

 

sound clips????

 

Its not "that" loud because most of these iron headed engines were short on compression.

Try a open header car with a decent amount of compression then see if you can live with it.

Try a Hooker Aerochamber cat-back. Sounds like the hounds of hell are going to eat your children. But is very civil and quiet when a person is cruising, no drone inside either as long as there aren't any exhaust leaks.

 

yeah thats exactly how i have it ran and I love the way it sounds
I live in charleston, sc and you dont even have to pass emission hear so unless I get pulled over its stayin

 

No offense, but it might sound good at idle, or in the car, but trust me when your driving down the street, it doesn't sound that good.....it sounds like a car with no muffler, NOT a car with a large cam and open headers/straight pipes.....there is a big difference. Build a good exhaust system and it will sound better....

 

I dont have the money if I did trust me i would make an awesome exhaust system

 

I built mine myself.....a lot cheaper than a muffler shop....and I lot better than a muffler shop would do, at least around here....I built mine for under $200 in my driveway....it looks professionaly built, but by me! LOL.....I'll get pics for you tonight.
Mine is all mandrel bent, 2 1/2" up front into a single 3 1/2" out the back...no cats....if you have a welder and something to cut metal with, you can do it yourself....just takes time (3 days straight on mine)....but I'll get pics tonight and post them...

i dont like it and it doesnt too healthy to mee but to each there own

 

Alot like this. Too Loud, stoopid loud. Sure, idle sounds good, but any kind of throttle and its just loud and annoying. I still have to get the i-pipe fixed so it will meet the y-pipe but ugh.

On my old 92 RS, 305/TBI I cut the exhaust where it turns into the crossflow muffler & had it run straight back to the rear bumper.

Still had a cat. Sounded decent & never got hassled by the cops nor failed inspection.

The cat makes for a good "muffler" & keeps you legal.

You can just make out where my exhaust exited, right by the right side stripe.....

 

yeah but that vid of mine wasn't her best sound she wasn't even warmed up yet, plus theres something about my camaro where it runs like a dream one day and like crap the next day, dunno

 

damn, i wish man, i don't ever like taking my car to a shop, which i will have to do to put pipes on it, i just don't know how to weld, nor do i have anything to weld with.

 

carb lol

 

Click on this link and scroll down...there are some pics of my exhaust...for some reason it won't let me post them in here since they are on another thread, but check them out anyways
