4 inch muffler recommedation..
Im currently running the mufflex 4 in. system with the magnaflow race muffler. It is a little on the loud side. Im fine with it. And all my neighbors in my current neighborhood are cool with it.
im going to be moving into a H.O.A neighborhood soon. Id just like to have a couple of suggestions on some quieter 4' oval mufflers so i can kinda get mt ducks in a row.
I did a quick search, but didnt find much on the issue.

All 4" mufflers are basically loud. Only one that may have a shot is the spintech crossflow one, that mufflex sells in that kit. Looks like a stock type muffler except 4" in dual 3" out muffler.

Re: 4 inch muffler recommedation..
i talked to another member a few weeks back about this, he had the magnaflow race and went to a flowmaster.
heres a jegs link.

he said it was substantially quieter, but i havent talked to anyone else about it.

Re: 4 inch muffler recommedation..
It was only after I took it off one day that I realized how much it was actually muffling the volume, because before then I was thoroughly unconvinced it did anything at all. Im considering switching to a Hooker Aerochamber to quiet it down. they dont make those in 4 inch, though.
If I were you I'd consider running two mufflers in line or splitting it into two 3 inch pipes after the axle. The Flowmaster 50 is another idea, if you go that route be sure to post up a before and after sound clip because I'm curious about that one myself. I dont really like promoting the stereotype of [uneducated ignorant southerner] thirdgens and I think my car doesn't, except for the volume level.

Re: 4 inch muffler recommedation..
I have a spintech 4x3x3 and it is the best sounding muffler I have ever had and I am nearly 50 years old and have had them all. It is amazingly quiet at an idle and part throttle but does get loud at WOT. I also have a 90 ZR-1 with a borla system that sounds about as well but the LT-5 cannot be compared to a regular SBC. It is an entirely different kind of engine but the spintech is awesome and I highly reccomend them.
