Loud exhaust, got pulled over by the po-po!
What is the best internal construction of a muffler to reduce noise level?
Ceramic packing
Chambered
Glasspack
Glass-wrap perforated tube
Perforated stainless tube with packing
Perforated tube
Sound attenuation rings
Stainless steel mesh
Straight-through baffled
Straight-through louvered core
Turbo-style
Wing plate
It's a 383 motor with a fairly big cam and a F1 Procharger pushing 13lbs of boost thru a TH400 & Gear Vendor OD with a 2800 stall 'verter and 3.73 rear gears. Point is, it's crazy loud... even though I have two of the smaller Dynatech bullet style race mufflers at each tip. I need to install a 3rd muffler inline next to the drive shaft. Thoughts on internals???

Here's the short version: just got the car back from the chassis shop after getting a roll cage and a few other things fabbed onto the car. Took the car out for a test drive the other night. Drove out of town... ok, ROARED out of town with my foot on the floor. Turned a corner and was driving back into town and was just coasting in. A cop just happened to be sitting in a bank parking lot and started following me. Yup, i thought. I'm getting pulled over. Sure enough. Lights come on... for a split sec I thought about dropping the hammer and going out in a blaze of gun fire. Cooler heads prevailed. Turns out, he heard my exhaust from two streets away. He gave me a "waiveable" ticket. I have to remedy the exhaust and take it to a police HQ and have a cop sign the ticket saying it's been corrected. Otherwise, I get a fine plus I still have to quiet it down.

The 3"inlet Hooker Aerochamber mufflers are a little too long to fit in the back @ 18" long. Plus, those are glasspacks. I'll have to take a listen to the sticky thread sound clips on glasspacks. I have no idea what they sound like.

Aerochambers arent glasspacks. They are a chambered muffler, look at the name. Get a stock muffler off some beat-up car and throw it on there to get you out of the ticket.

Have you considered a magnaflow muffler? I had 4x9s on my true duals when i got them, and they didn't wake up untill you got on it. Idle was a deep rumble, and cruising was tame yet sounded nice.
