getting the final pieces together for my v6 to lt1 swap. looking to do a cheap exhaust and ive decided to go with dumps before the axle. need help selecting a pair of small mufflers. i dont want it too loud as i will have my 2yr old in the back but i do want it to sound muscular at higher rpm's. open to suggestions. thanks.

 

I don't think its possible to have quiet dumps. Why not just run a standard y pipe and catback?

 

no money

 

Headers or stock Y pipe? Shouldn't cost too much to run a single pipe all the way back and a muffler. Search here or Craigslist and see if anyone is dumping a stock axle back system.

 

i was going to make it myself using the stock manifolds then later when i work all the bugs out and have it up and running 100% ill put on lts and catback when i have the $$

 

Look for the single in/out Flowmaster system with the 30-series muffler. should be able to find the complete system for around $250. I have it with Mac mids and no cat and its quieter than stock on the inside with no drone or resonance whatsoever. Outside its deep and tough without being obnoxious. I ride with my 2yr old and 7yr old all the time

 

Cherry bomb glasspacks! ***Warning*** your child may experience hearing problems and or temporary deafness.

Just look on craigslist for a used cat-back or get a cheap-o jegs cat-back

i dont have $250 to spend. im laid off, sitting in the hospital for 3 days and have a family to feed

lol no glasspacks

 

Come on there has to be something quiet enough to silence 4 cylinders!

 

Use a magnaflow round muffler. They are fairly quiet. Be sure to use a turn down though. They will still drone at cruising speeds.

 

makin turn downs for sure. not worried about drones as long as its not too loud

 

Magnaflow at 2,000 RPM will drone. Flowmaster 40 series, drones louder.

 

Any other options?

 

In running magnaflow 4x9s and an x pipe dumped at the axle. It drones less than my old flowtech catback.

 

I have a axel catback off a 97 formula

 

I have a full system with a glasspack, single turndown, 2.25" off a 97 v6 firebird you can have, just pay shipping...

 

thanks guys but kinda wanna wanna build my own

 

Magnapacks are not quiet. I know that much. I ran 2 magnapacks on a 3.9L v8 Lincoln LS for awhile, hated the sound.

Moroso spiral flows are quieter then magnapacks.

If money is so tight, The best bang for you buck would probably be a used cat back. Hell, you might be able to find a stock catback for dirt cheap. You could run that until you have the money. The Long tubes and no cats will bring out more sound. A stock cat back will kind of choke the car but atleast you know youll be getting an end result of "quiet" lol
