Thread: Mufflers

Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by RALFIRECAPT
What are the best mufflers to run off of a 304 V8 with a manifold and duals out the back. I want it to still make some noise and don't want to break the bank. I'm haveing new duals ran out the back soon. Thanks for the advice.

Me myself I like to hear my ZZTop, Jamey Johnson & my bluegrass.. So I run the quitest mufflers I can find,, Plus you get to see more wildlife & don't draw attention to my old CJ with historical tags .. I go from inch & seven eights to two inch to help it breathe better,, It worked well with my 304,, Im planing on using the same set-up on my 360... They were just Walker brand,, 20 couple bucks ...

I ended up swapping in an exhaust setup (manifolds back 2into-1) that had a Midas "flowmaster clone" (Ravin?) that sounds VERY quiet until romped, then has nice throaty report... A big change from the loud (& very juvenile sounding) dual glasspacks I used to run!

I use the largest & Quietest mufflers I can fit into the space alloted. We see a lot of wildlife like that, and when running on the farm we don't spook the livestock... Also helps when I'm hunting, I don't scare everything off in a 3 mile radius while I'm driving in or out. When wheeling with others, I don't want to be the obnoxious SOB that is blasting stereo or exhaust all over the ...

I agree with quiet, as the others stated However, in direct answer to your question, glass packs. They are cheap. Untill they get burnt out they are mellow until you mash the skinny pedal, Another benefit is some of them have round shoulders which is good thing offroad.

There is one more big advantage to 'quiet'.....you can hear the engine and drive train.....you would be surprised at how many problems you can troubleshoot just by sound....and you would be amazed at how many guys have broke down because they could not hear noise coming from their engine that was a precursor to failure.... I have generic turbo mufflers on my SBC....very nice rumble but I can ...

I've had bad luck with Turbos. I believe ,mostly because of the fact that I am constantly in or crossing deep water when I wheel. I went through three sets of aluminized tin turbos from the most reputable exhaust shop in town. the internal baffles kept coming loose. I ended up ordering some cheap welded mufflers from Summit. No problems since. Others have had good luck with the flowmaster ...
