Exhaust way loud!!

[billison]

OK i'm mostly sure they are dumb questions but I'd like to make sure

1. my mufflers are a little differnt, one is center inlet, the other is offset inlet "don't ask, and yes i'll change them later" did'nt think it would matter, but though i'd ask

2. As of right now i don't have tails, i have nothing after the muffers and it's way loud, when i get tails will it make it sound better?

 

[GTOreturns]

It will be quieter yes.Better is in the ear of the beholder. What kind of Muffs are they?

 

[billison]

flows of some kind, got them off ebay cheap

 

[GTOreturns]

Yeah Flowmasters sound nice on 5.0's with tails.Depending what kind you have will determind how much drone you will have.

 

[billison]

can't i just look at the muffler and find a number or something

can't i just look at the muffler and find a number or something

Not sure.I really doupt it though. I used to have 3 chambered.Very little drone. 2 chambered flows are much louder and will drone alot on the highway between 1800-2500RPM's. 1 chamber forget it,loud ma hockers!!

 

[billison]

ok, just though i'd ask, thanks for your help

Tails will help for interior noise...

i now what its like having no tail pipes 3" exhaust long tube heads no cats 2 chamber flowmaster gets every loud in side the car with tail pipes all the sound leave out the back of the car will make quite to a point

tails will lessen the noise of the exhaust a little.

 

[Sicarius428]

It will lessen it but nothing to hold your breath for. Flowmasters are just loud period and for me, the drone is obnoxious.

Well yesterday was the first time i've pulled it outside since i put the flows on, i had to back it out to get something done on it, and the sound took the car over, so yeah i'll get the tails and see how it goes from there

 

[GTOreturns]

Do you have cats?

 

[billison]

It's a 85 former cfi car, I've put a edel 289 intake and edel 600 carb, and it has the headers and cated h pipe from a 93 then the flows, sounds so much better than when i got it, it did have the stock 85 headers and just pipes that both whent down the right side of the car and then whent into cherry bombs, that was supper supper supper loud, sounded like crap too

 

[GTOreturns]

what kind of heads and cam?

 

[billison]

stock

 

[GTOreturns]

3 chambered flows are a little louder then stock.You must have 1 or 2 chambered.

i have dumped flows, they sound great with my BBK longtubes
they used to be "loud" to be but now I consider them normal
i only get compliments about the exhaust
