Best sounding muffler?
What is the best sounding muffler for our cars. Anyone use a muffler besides Flowmaster or Dynomax. I got the Dynomax but it's a little to quiet for my tastes and I heard Flowmaster isn't the best muffler performance wise. I want to get something louder for my 2.5" Dynomax cat-back after I got my header bolt fixed.
Ive been listening to the Borla stingers. Im a big Flowmaster fan but I'd drop them in a minute to run the Stinger. Only way I can describe it as having a solid sound unlike the drone Flowmaster or crackle of other types.
im not sure if u can just buy a borla camaro muffler,i think u have to buy the whole ex system from borla.though im sure somone knows for sure about that.
and yes the spintech will allow u to keep the dual tail pipes,though i dont have a part number offhand for the spintech but i can get one tom

No muffler sounds like crap. I like a loud smoother sound than what you get from straight pipes. DD with a muffler, racer without.

I have a flowmaster 80 series on my 3.1L firebird. It's got a nice rumble at idel and is pretty loud at any rpm when driving. Ive headerd a 3.1L with no muffler and it sounds horrible. For a loud muffler i would go with the flowmaster. But ive never heard a borla so i dont know if they are worth it. If you want just stupid loud on a V6 Ive seen a SLP Loudmouth hooked up to a 2.8L and it was loud sound could be heard from down the street.

Not that loud. Just something I can hear in the background when cruising down the interstate.

Then the flowmaster would be perfect without a doubt. About $80 for the muffler. How are you setting it up the cheapest way is to get a dynomax 2 1/2" cat back piping, clamp the flowmaster 80 series and have dynomax 2 1/2" tailpipes with clamps.

The Borla sounds nice but its probably out of my price range. I might stick with my Dynomax after I fix my broke header bolt when I can hear the exhaust over the motor.

I have a 3.1l with the 80 series flowmaster, it sounds pretty hard-***.
And the pipes are tucked up real nice.

Does anyone know if flowtech are any good. I don't really have the money for a flowmaster right now because the car doesn't even run. I need to get a tranny, alternator and exhaust from the cat back and much much more. I put a flowtech red hot glass pack on my neon and it sounds good for a 4 cyl. It doesn't fart at all. So I was considering getting a dual outlet flowtech muffler for my Camaro. Thanks.
