what kind of mufflers should i get?

[toph99]

my crown vic needs two new mufflers, i want something with a growl but not so loud that i can't hear the passengers Cheap is a necessity though. At work we carry:
flowtech raptors
cherry bombs
terminator mufflers(also flowtech?)
holly aerochamber
i can get a lot of other kinds, those are just what we stock. What sounds good on a 4.6 SOHC?

I have a 1987 Crown Vic and I used Walker 5.0l mustang replacement mufflers. It sounds great, almost like a 5.0l mustang. Really makes people take a second look. Lifetime warranty on the mufflers.

All's well that flow well.

Classic The outlet size is the same as the inlet size, so no rice here.

 

[toph99]

some people told me that dynomax super turbo's were good too, but if i'm going to get a glass pack muffler i'd rather get cherry bombs where they're only $30 apiece. How do cherry bombs sound on 4.6's?

I still prefer flowmaster 40 series 2 chamber on a 4.6 sohc.

If you're going to get a glasspack make sure it doesn't have anything that pokes into the exhaust stream (i.e. louvers).

 

[toph99]

how loud are they millenium? my friend has them on his 1970 trans am and you can barely talk to each other. of course there is no soundproofing and its a big block poncho.

and why no louvres? they do have them, about 1/4" in size

Super Turbos are not Glass Packs.

Glass packs are illegal here. Super Turbos are not. Check your local laws first. Just because you can buy it in a store doesn't mean its legal.

Super Turbos are on my Mopar and are very loud.

my 4.6 with flows is pretty fvcking loud and I have sound proofing.

heh....would be funny as heck to hear some of those goofy-arse mosquito mufflers on a Crown Vic.

My car's got the dynomax super turbos on it, all my friend's thiunk it's too quiet. (5.0 Mustang)

Mufflers are for fools. Just attach old coffee cans to the tail of your current exhaust.

Oh yeah, those would be perfect for a Crown Vic. My friend has a Walker Turboflow on his car and I like the sound of it. Course, its a Volvo turbo 4

straight pipe it. cut out the cat and everything.

errr wait. no no. my cousin had cherry bombs on his v8 jeep, you could hear him from about 3 miles away. quite loud. nice jeep tho.

I'd say go with the Flowmaster 40 series, but get the ones with "delta flow" these don't resonate quite as much inside the car, yet still sound beefy outside.

 

[KokomoGST]

Both the Magnaflows and the Flowmasters sound great... I prefer the 40series Delta sound but they can get really loud. Prolly a 50series would be better though to keep the interior sound down to comfy grandma levels.

 

[Heisenberg]

I've got a dynomax super turbo on my car. It's not real loud, but you can definitely hear it.

 

[JC]

For not quite so much noise as the 2-chamber Flowmeisters, get either good 'ol super turbos or 3-chamber Flowmasters if ya got the bucks.

For Pete's sake, don't get glasspacks (i.e. Cherry Bombs)

I also have 2 X 2 1/2" Dyno Weld Series... mine is a low rumble but not at all loud (the way I like it) it's louder then when I had a 70 series Flowmaster on it though but not by much, and only at WOT

Very illegal.

on ODB2 vehicles it'll also activate your SES light.. CAT's aren't like they were in the 80's and 90's now though, they actually flow pretty good, my buddy's Lightning didn't even pick up a 1/10th in the 1/4 mile when he removed his and his now has a Blower on it.

I mention the blower cause Forced Induction vehicles benefit more from better flowing exhaust

 

[erikistired]

for the most part yes. i think on older vehicles in some places you can run without the cats. but for new cars it's definately illegal. that wasn't meant to be a serious suggestion.

It is if the car was manufactured after a certain date, here. For the car in question, yes it is.
