I don't like how the Borla or Dynomouth conversions sound but has anyone done a Gibsonmouth?


I didn't find anything in search.

If I had to guess, I would say it would sound like ****,lol. At least their truck exhaust systems do. Just sounds stock to me!! Try a Powerstick, they sound and flow Awesome!!!!!!!!!

I have a 3 in gibson on my truck with headers,no cat, and cammed and i love the sound of it sounds old school at idle. Dont know what their other systems sound like though.

I'm talking about swapping the gibson, borla, magnaflow, dynomax, etc bullet inplace of the slp lm resonator.

Gibson mufflers flow like ****. If you want to LOSE power, by all means go for it

Probably!

But then again people are still buying the flowmasters. lol

I'm thinking about just putting a cutout on my magnaflow catback setup and calling it a day.

First off the sweeping statements like Gibsons flow like **** as posted by someone else is pretty foolish. Unless they know the specifics for EACH muffler then they are talking out of there ****! Same goes for Flowmaster, most of their mufflers flow GREAT, it's only the 80 Series as used on the American Thunder catback which is no good for LS1's (oh the irony).

However as to your question.

Any wire mesh bullet muffler will sound similar to any other wire mesh bullet muffler. This includes, Borla, Dynomax, Maganflow and Gibson amoung others.

They are all trying to solve the same problem with the same solution. Weave density, material and core design will have an affect but it will be minimal.

Other changes in sound come from the casing length and diameter as this directly affects the amount of sound dedening material.

However, returning to the issue of flow. Using a single muffler for all 8 cylinders means it MUST flow well or be a restriction. 3" core is going to be a minimal, which rules out Sweet Thunder mufflers as they neck down too much.

Powersticks don't and Flowmaster 10 Series mufflers have all been used to good affect.

I would run a true dual setup. That would cure your "mouth" issues.
