Re: edelbrock cat back vs flowmaster super 44

cause the super 44 should be the loudest muffler from flowmaster, isn it?
or will it be better to buy an whole new flowmaster 80 cat back?

Re: edelbrock cat back vs flowmaster super 44

um why do you want the loudest? Just go with an flowmaster 80 series or hooker aerochamber. Or if you got an chunk of money, borla or gmmg.

Re: edelbrock cat back vs flowmaster super 44

cause i want hear my car clearly at every speeds.
sound quality is very good atm but to silent for me.
i think edelbrock sdt has a similar voloume to the flowmaster 80.

maybe i will go for an custom build gmmg exhaust.
cause i live in switzerland .
but im not sure that this exhaust also will increase the exhaust volume alot over now.

Re: edelbrock cat back vs flowmaster super 44

What's your definition of loud? My Edelbrock SDT is a little louder than any crossflow style Flowmaster ever made, even the old little one that was before the 80 series.

However, the older Edelbrock RPM muffler was on the quiet side of things... are you sure that's not what you have?

This is exactly how my car sounds and trust me you can hear it at all times with no problem. If that's what your looking for. Its a Flowmaster 80 series, Here's the video link =

As I said, the Flowmaster 80 is QUIETER than the Edelbrock SDT muffler I have on my car.

Flowmaster 80 series= noisy
Flowmaster old style (little case)= loud
Edelbrock SDT= even louder

Re: edelbrock cat back vs flowmaster super 44

It's funny because I had the loud Flowmaster on my car and wanted something quieter to make the car less attention-getting. I had bought a couple of the Edelbrock systems previously, but they were the old "RPM" series which were pretty quiet (not like a crappy Dynomax though). I bought the new system with the SDT muffler and fancy polished tips (which was still the same price as the old system with no tips), after the install I was surprised to find the car was now a little louder, lol.
