which mufflers are the loudest? i wish slp made the loud mouth for the 5.0. my buddy has it on his 2002 z28 and it sounds mean as hell. i looked into getting mufflers of the same sort (slp loud mouth) but wasnt sure if they would sound good....any suggestions?
 
come on guys, someone has to know something about mufflers. the flowmasters i have sound great but i would like something louder....but dont really want to go with no mufflers for back pressure reasons.
 
i believe they do make then for 5.0's now. they are a straight thru muffler so they will sound like a 60's muscle car. if you have a H or X pipe then ya it will sound nasty but you also have to remeber the fire birds and z28's with the 350's only use one muffler so they sound nasty with anything.I Had (about a year ago on my 87 lx) dynomax bullet mufflers bolted right to my H-pipe no rear pipes(stock catted)LOUD AS HELL!!!!!and i had to yell to talk to my freinds next to me in the pass seat. I now have a Set of ceramic coated long tube headers with a off-road h-pipe and a 2-chamber flowmaster cat-back kit.It does the job for now but i am more of a chamber kinda guy so i am gonna do the 1-chambers next after i get done building my 347 stroker.

yeah, im definetly thinkin about some one chambers...just tryin to manage my money, bein a student and all.
 
ya i hear ya 70 each is alot for that small of a muffler and if you cant weld you have to have custom flow tubes made and then have it all welded i would say easly a 500 dollar mod Includeing the mufflers.But they are on my list just so close to that Coast high 347 Stroker Kit.:-)
 
thank god someone else has the same kind of problems i do...cost problems....not which supercharger to get or whatever else would cost me about a years worth of pay checks. haha, considering i even have a job
 
ya, i make way better money now that i am not going to school. i just have ALOT of stuff to get and there is nuffin wrong with my exhaust i have now so they are only a want.And arnt high on my list of things to do.
 
man im a senior in high school im short on cash myself. my car has mac shorty headers off road h pipe and dual flowmaster 40 series. the flows are only 2 chamber. everybody says i have one of the meanest soundin cars around my hometown. ive been pulled over for a noise ordiance violation b/c of them too. but it does sound mean as hell.
 
yeah, long tubes definetly sound awesome....but there isnt much point if youre not makin a lot of hp....ive heard they take a lot of low end power away from cars that dont have a power adder....but i could be wrong.

summit sells em i think all i hear about now is spintech i was always told they are junk dont know they sure are becomeing popular in the muffler chats.
P.s. I didnt feel a loss at all and it did make a difference.

that kind of pisses me off because a guy i work with talked me out of gettin a set of long tubes...really cheap too....now im kickin myself in the ass for that one
 
ya i put them on my 87 lx back in the day (chrome) fell in love and now i have them on my 88gt with Jet-hot coating and Love em the are so easy to drop as well I hated takeing the shorties off of that car and messing with that huge heavy H-pipe.
