I got the 40 series FlowMaster muflers with the kit I bought 3 years ago from Summit and I hate them. They are very loud and like to get some quiet mufflers. I'm not 20 year old anymore and I can not stand the loudnes and resonance in the car.
Any Suggestiuon?
Thanks

I've had good luck with the Magnaflow mufflers, not the expensive polished ones but the regular welded oval straight-thru design. I had a dual 3" setup on my mustang with around 500 hp and it was quiet enough in the car to hold a normal conversation when cruising, even with turn-downs. They were only loud at WOT...even then not as loud as Flowmaster by any means.

I came across this article on the web... Muffler Comparison
The net result was that the Walker #17749 Dynomax muffler was better than nearly any of the "performance" brands, and relatively quiet...

I'm running a custom 2.5" x-pipe system with Magnaflows, I really like the sound. And it is MUCH quieter than an equal system running Flowmasters. Sometimes I think it's too quiet.

I had my system done the first time with the dynomax mufflers, and thought it was way too loud, and raspy. Then I had it redone with a 2.5 x-pipe system, and magnaflows, and I love the sound of it now. It's has turndowns on it, and is still quiet.

My buddy just did the 3" magnaflow mufflers that were like 40 dollars a piece and wow what a difference. He used to have race flow dynomax bullets with a true dual x out the back and was extremely loud. Now I can barely hear his car on the freeway from my quiet acura. He swapped the bullet to the cat location after the headers and runs the magnaflows right before the tips.

I do know they are the fully polished stainless ones, and the price was very reasonable.
