Ok for some one knows what they are talking about, aka not me. Can you please make a sticky on possible muffler options? I want to get one but really do not know where to start. I tried searching but no one really has a few options with pros and cons. As a newbie it would be benificial and less time consuming. Not that I don't love reading everthing I can. Thnx

 

There aren't any set rules about mufflers... It depends on what you want it to sound like. Do you want a loud ricey sound? Euro sound? Raspy? Quiet? etc....

 

i want a deep throughted sound like an old american muscle car with out having to have the v-8

 

watch my video in the canada meet section, under entropy's pics, it is the turbo muffler from msa. its quiet till you walk on it, youll see watch the vid

 

here this is the link, just copy paste if it doesnt work. https://www.zdriver.com/forums/zdriver-announcements-225/only-one-road-19284/

 

which one is it there are soooo many pics...

 

Deep throted sound....muscle car....no V8.....LOL!!!

Ok, you will need a beefy cam, large tubed header, decent to high compression, and nothing less than 2 1/2 inch pipe. An old school edlebrock muffler or a LONG cherry bomb muffler may get you close, or maybe a purple horny (Holley) may get you near that sound. I would not run the pipe all the way to the rear of the car, maybe half to 3/4's of the way and use a turn down tip which will help it resonate off the ground. Just remember, those old muscle cars had 8 BIG pistons and large head ports and vacuum secondaries on the carbs which sound evil and hollow on a high rise intake. But you should know the L28 is not going to sound exactly like them. So big pipe, header, LONG cherry bomb and a turn down and it should sound tough.

 

thnx I just might do that. I agree I know I can't get the true sound but its as good as I can get. I was thinking about a 3" pipe

 

Bigger pipe deeper tone, to a point before performance suffers on the bottom end

 

nm found it and ooooohhhh very very nice

 

Out of curiosity, whad did you end up getting and where are you getting it from?

 

for the header msa and i'll be getting the turbo muffler from msa as well

 

Watch out for those MSA headers. If you have dropped springs I suggest getting the collector cut and shortened cuz you will be scraping over everything.

 

sparks are cool

It's when the sparks stop that you have to worry
