muffler to flow well but be quiet
muffler to flow well but be quiet are there any high flow mufflers that also keep the car very quiet? i would need a 3" in/out muffler. i get enough attention just the way my car looks, id like to make the car as quiet as possible but still flow well. any suggestions?!!
magnaflow is quiet at idle/cruising... just gets loud when you get on it. However, if your "getting on it" then I doubt the risk of attention is a factor anymore. It flows really well too...
Car is turboed right?
I am switching to a stock off the shelf passenger car muffler to keep quiet, then have a vacuum cutout in line. As soon as vacuum drops from throttle input, the exhaust bypasses.

so the valve will always be open WHEN that engine is turned OFF, thats what u want ?
This is an older article but has some good muffler info. http://www.mustang50magazine.com/tec...o_numbers.html Check out the borla XS, I watched some youtube vids and that thing is pretty quiet.
My magnaflow is really really really quiet, granted I was coming from a LM1 so I don't know what the car is supposed to sound like with the stock muffler, but this magnaflow is almost too quiet for me.

I have the factory (sport version) cat back, with long tubes and no cats, and its pretty darn loud when your on it. No drone, but it's still noticeable louder at idle and driving around than factory.

magnaflow all the way. one of the best sounding in my opinion and one of the best flowing as well. i love mine, but i just got my headers and y installed today, so it isnt so mellow anymore lol
yeah i have a sigle turbo with a single 3" exhaust pipe. not too concerned about tone, but mainly concerned about it being quiet. trying to figure out how to get the car to be almost silent. almost like how a vette sounds off the showroom floor. quiet at idle and cruising, but has a little grunt when you get on it.

I use to have a flowmaster, it was pretty quiet in my opinion. It actually didn't sound too bad, I just prefer a loud exhaust. Seems like magnaflow is your best bet here though. That was before my headers and y pipe also.
