what mufflers sound best?

**Johnny B** · 01-28-2009, 05:24 PM

im getting ready to order the parts for my exhaust... tips and mufflers and im still not sure what mufflers i wanna get. long tube headers, 3 inch pipe into mufflers, side exit... i was gonna do slp loudmouth, what do you guys think? i want it to be loud but i also want it to have a good tone to it?

**street591** · 01-28-2009, 05:31 PM

I would get longtube headers, o/r x pipe, and your choice of mufflers. I have flowmaster right now on my sixer and think they sound great for being on a six cylinder. The slp loudmouth catback is very loud and also raspy which all comes down to your personal opinion and what you like. Magnaflow obviously is quieter but has more tone than slp.

As for the side exhaust it wouldn't look right without the side skirts to go with it imo.

GL with your exhaust

i already got the longtubes and im gettin the side skirts as well... you think ill get enough tone outta the slp even without a mid pipe? or is it just gonna be noise? haha i had flowmasters before and i like the way they sound but i want a little louder.

Slp's sound like you're dragging 100 aluminum cans behind you. My vote is flowmaster, mac, or spintech.

Well the only thing really louder than flowmasters are gonna be slp.

Best sounding setup on a 4.6 modular engines "IMO" is Bassani high flow x-pipe and Flowmaster 2 chamber ...

Spin Tech mufflers sound good and are good quality.

**Johnny B** · 01-28-2009, 06:37 PM

does anybody have any input on the flowmaster outlaw mufflers?

One chamber flows would wake the dead.

Never heard the outlaws.

Borla Pro XS try wickednickys.com (?) for good prices, used those on my '04 Cobra.
Not super loud but nice and deep until WOT which is a good loud.

On the side exhaust note. I don't think any of these will work. I think only roush is side exit. I wouldn't do slp

**95riosnake** · 01-29-2009, 12:04 AM

Unless it is a same side in/out side exhaust specific muffler, you're gonna have a really hard time using a traditional muffler in a side exhaust. It will most likely sit literally on the ground. Any bullet-style muffler will work best. Personally, I have Borla Stingers and would not have it any other way, sounds really good below 3k rpm, then after that it is seriously LOUD

many guys on here can vouch for that

**u1arunit** · 01-29-2009, 12:06 AM

Define Best; Exhaust sound is too subjective. Since you asked though..

Mac Pro-Chamber with Flo Super 40 two chambers. Nothing better IMHO.

**MBH** · 01-29-2009, 12:09 AM

stingers get my vote.
cobras sound a bit different than gts so your mileage may vary

**97LaserRed** · 01-29-2009, 11:02 AM

listen to dan. that is your best bet for side exit!!!!!

**Rodeheaver's** · 01-29-2009, 11:10 AM

see now, i have had sooo many different exhuasts on my car, I have had flowmaster 1,2,3 chamber mufflers, i got sick of the shrill sound and went with a dual 3.5" then added an x pipe, with 2 dynomax race bullets, its really loud on the big end, but sounds like a mini rail when idling around and thats what i wanted...
