best sounding muffler for lg4
 

Whats the best sounding muffler for a lg4? Ive been thinking about changing the cheap dynomax muffler for a better muffler (no borla 2 expensive)..

im particular of the hooker on my L69... plus its affordable..ill sell you the one on my car cheap

Its an "unheard-of" type brand, but on my LG4, it sounded wicked. If you have a Meineke around you, go there and ask for a Vortex Exhaust. I have a video clip of it somewhere, Ill post it up when I find it.

*EDIT* I felt the performance gains, along with a hi-flow cat, your really waking the motor up

Here we go... the popping was a bad internal, never figured it out tho, other than that, it sounded awesome.

i had an edelbrock rpm series on my old LG4. sounded great with a set of headers and a 3" intermediate.

What sounds best is a very subjective question. I have a flowmaster 3" american thunder catback on my car. At first I really liked it but after I added headers I felt it was a little too loud. I also didn't like the loud interior drone at cruising RPM. I just got a Dynomax Ultra Flow 3" in 3" out muffler for xmas. It's louder at full throttle than the super turbo you have but it's a little quieter at idle and cruise RPM than my flowmaster which is what I'm looking for.

It depends what you are looking for. I have heard nothing but good things about Hooker. If you want loud an SLP loudmouth or a Gale Banks muffler might be what you want. You might like the Dynomax Ultra Flow as well, Dynomax makes good mufflers sometimes people say they suck because they've had the super turbo model which is very quiet and everyone wants loud.

The Banks system sounds awesome on a 3rd gen. A friend of mine has one on his '87 TPI 305 car, and it's niiiiiiiiice.

I also am a big fan of Hooker mufflers, especially the Aerochambers. I have them on my car and they sound great; plus, no drone inside the car. Flowmaster is known for their interior drone. If you wanna have a conversation with passengers in your car, stay away from Flows.

Links to the banks?
and kane thats pretty sick!

I just surfed a bit, and couldn't find anything. You may wanna try calling Banks directly - get the number from www.bankspower.com. They're totally into Diesel power now, but they still sell twin-turbo Chevy setups so they might still have their 3rd gen cat-back available.

I have a mac on mine it sounds good.

i got a 3in hooker cat back on the maro and it sounds almost as stock as u can get with headers at idle but open it up and its loud

the stang has flowmasters(stock on used fox bodies) and its loud as hell inside at just under 2k rpms, i dont mind the noise at all:)

You'll mind it as you get older! :lol: I had the Flowmaster American Thunder on my old 93 Z28 and it sounded great with no drone at all. Exhaust sound is a personal preference so it's really tough to figure out what you might like. I ran dual Hooker Aerochamber mufflers on my 68 and they had a nice rumble at idle, nice a quiet at cruise under 3000 rpm's and got really aggressive and loud uner WOT. I've heard the Hooker cat-back on a 94 Z28 with headers and it sounded great on that car as well. But the sound depends on what other mods the car has. My 93 was definitely louder when I had the supercharger on the car.

I had SLP's "two out the left" cat back on my 87 GTA. It was a L98 car, but I thought it sounded great. fairly quiet under normal driving conditions, but had great tone to it. When I romped on it though, it got pretty loud.

I need to stop thinking about that car, I miss it everytime I talk about it. :?

glass pack mufflers are nice i had one on my old 86 buick regal v8 it had a rumble

look for a member called exhaustguys on the site. they sell magnaflow, flowmaster, pypes, and a bunch fo other systems. great prices too.
i think magnaflow systems sound really good.
get a system with 3inch tubing no matter what brand it is. :)

I have 2.5 flowtech....

Best one I ever heard was the Banks system mine used to have. But right before I sold it, the muffler started to fall apart, so I bolted a dynomax in it (same pipes), and that sounded nice too.

ok screw sound thats what my cut out is for!...whats the best flowing muffler that I can gain some nice hp and torque?

Where should I have the cut out installed? in front of the cat or behind the cat? I just want it to sound like open headers with the cat open I dont really care about performance gains...

they all flow about the same and the muffler itself is too far down the system to make any dramatic effect on performance anyway. so jsut shop for a tone you like or save teh coin and get a flowmaster like everyone else.

What he said. Dynomax might be fairly affordable too.

magnaflow FTW

:werd: magnaflows are good sounding systems and not too pricey.

With SLP Headers, SLP Y Pipe, RandomTech cat, Hooker aerochamber muffler with CB I think mine is nice.

i liked my dynomax race bullet ..... have a vid of an LT-1 with one if your interested

ehh right now I dont have the money for a new exhuast cause I need something else.

my exhuast is gonna get REAL restricted so Im gonna need to find a place that wont charge me an arm and a leg to weld in my cut out
