Re: Muffler sound

Okay I've been around talking and getting quotes from 4 muffler shops... all of them said glasspacks will be super loud, and some suggested chambered. Most of them also said that a cheap old glasspack won't last that long. I don't want to buy some $100 muffler because my existing muffler isn't even busted yet. I'm still leaning towards a cheap glasspack... how long will something like that actually last on my truck? I plan to keep my truck for several years.

That looks pretty cool... what's the price on it?
The smallest inlet is 2.5", I think my pipes are 2"

Thanks,

I checked out some muffler shops, and they said that the glasspacks would sound good, but they told me that they had a better muffler for my truck, that would sound better.

Re: Muffler sound

Yeah most shops will push their own mufflers... I guess because they can make money off selling those... and they probably are better quality than glasspacks... at least the cheaper glasspacks, mine was $20. Where do you live? Go talk to the guys at your local auto parts store. I went to Lordco.

Re: Re: Muffler sound

Hi, I'm new to this forum.

Anyway, I wanted to know what is the absolute loudest muffler one can buy (regardless of legality issues, since you can always use a muffler silencer)? I have a 2003 Mitubishi Lancer, and have already added a whole lot of exterior modifications, and wanted to start the engine modifications from the exhaust/ muffler up. Please note that when I mean the "loudest muffler", I mean what is the "loudest" tested muffler (not personal opinion), I could use. Also, in order to get an extremely loud sound, do I have to change the whole exhaust system or just change the muffler? Thanks!

Re: Muffler sound

I dunno what the loudest tested muffler is, but just go to your nearest muffler shop, and ask them. I have a 2001 Dodge Ram V6, and it sounds bad as hell with the flows I just go on at our muffler shop (Mayco Mufflers). And it only cost me $185 to get all new pipes after the cc, the muffler, and tips.
