mufflers to use?

[89SHO X2]

what muffflers would be a good choice just to open up the flow. but sound a little beefier than stock. not too loud. no raspy 4banger sound. mainly open the flow to get the max from my intake setup.

Many options to choose, I chose 05 GT mufflers cuz I liked them. Try a exhaust search to find exactly what you are looking for

how do the gt mufflers sound compaired to stock 3.2 mufflers. also how is the flow and what size are they? i kind of have that 5.0 sound but it is a v6 obiously. very throaty sound with my intake. thanks

I used Mangaflows with a 4x18 resonator. Sounds great!

Go FlowMaster 40s for ultimate RASP!! They'll be sooooo cool!!!!

Or if you want to sound good, go for Magnaflows . Just don't expect a V8 sound out of the V6 ever.

When they warm up they sound better.

First off, get the longest/fattest resonator than you can fit after the y-pipe. That will cut the rasp, then it's only a matter of picking mufflers for sound.

I had a big, fat resonator on my '95. A couple of cheap $10 glasspacks out back sounded great, with no rasp.

The flowmasters are a good choice and I have them on my 90 SHO. But, like the others have said, the rasp is a result of the resonator just behind the cats, in the long pipe going to the rear y-pipe. I put a straight through inline muffler in place of the resonator (one that you can look into and see out the other end) and no more rasp. I can't explain why it works, but it does. The car is very rugged sounding and you will not want it any louder than this system delivers. Your close neighbours will know when you go to work in the morning and when you return.

i like rasp. it means it angry.

Have you done the y-pipe yet? Also for ATX or MTX?

 

[Eastcoast SHO]

i still believe borla is the best like i had on my 94, unfortunatly they dont make a kit anymore unless you buy the parts and fabricate it your self

 

[89SHO X2]

i have an atx. what was the earlier post saying about putting a muffler before the y? like 3 glass packs or something? and where do i get a big resonator? wrecking yard? i might try the flowmaster 40's they sounded good on my '66 chevy truck.

Yeah, just get the longest and fattest one that will fit. Some have gone to 2 or 3 short ones in that space.
