so I ditched the stock muffler for a flowbastard...I wanna switch to the quietest muffler possible and get an electric cutout! anyone have a really quiet sleeper setup? (as in...quieter than stock)

 

Get one off a V6 Car, take off the badges and that is as about sleeper as you can get. But when you uncap it "They will Know"

 

A guy that goes to college with me has a sleeper Camaro. It's a Z28 but I always thought it was a V6 until last week when I finally got to talking with him about his car. I'm not sure what muffler he has, but I'll ask him and get back to you. It sounds just like a V6. Has all the badges off and everything. He popped his hood and he had a K&N CAI, MSD, shorties, and a few other little things. I was surprised that he had those headers on there sounding so quiet. I need to find out what muffler setup he's doing. Anywho, he has a few stories on how he busted a few V6's cause they thought he had a V6 too. LOL

 

Even though you want a quiet muffler, I assume you still want it to flow well. Take a look at either Dynomax or Magnaflow, both aren't that loud and flow great.

 

Hooker Aerochamber is pretty quiet and it flows quite well too.

 

Detroit808 asked what the "QUIETEST" muffler is. If I'm assuming correctly, he doesn't care if it's extremely restrictive because he's going to be using a cutout. Not sure on what brand exactly would make your car exhaust silent though.

 

Just remember... big cam + restrictive muffler = burnt valves.

Something to keep in mind when you do more mods in the future.

 

magnaflow.

 

Magnaflow!!! A friend of my sons has them on his 96 3.8 camaro. I don't know if the V8 system is different but on a V6 the Magnaflow system with Pacesetter headers is louder than hell.

I also had them on a bigblock duster I had for about a week. Too loud, had to come off.

 

that's what a cutout are for

 

i used to have SLP dual/dual and it was silent! weighed a couple tons and wasnt very pretty but it hardly made a sound.

 

i too am looking for a quiet muffler...

the only thing is:

i have a loudmouth bullet right off the ORY, and a 3" cutout right after that... will there be any problem trying quiet that exhaust down after the bullet? i mean, i want it to be hella quiet when the cutout is closed and hella loud when that puppy is open..

whatchu think?

 

The Aerochamber is quiet at idle but when you open it up, your presence is well known.

 

The Dynomax Superturbo is pretty quiet. Used to have a pair on the LX.

 

Here is the hooker catback with Hooker LT's and mufflex y.

Here it is with the cutout open, you can see the hooker exhaust quiets it down quite a bit.
