How to give the 4.6 some balls?
Hey guys, I'm kinda new to this whole "new" car thing (Before this my newest car was an '83) and I was wondering what muffler i could use to give my car a better exhaust tone? I turn the thing on and instead of being greeted with a nice throaty growl, I get this undescribably quiet whoosh. I've never heard a V8 this quiet and to be totally honest with you it's quite unsettling, so if any on has any recommendations as far as brands of mufflers I would be in your debt.

Dynomax Ultraflos without question. much throatier and more muscular sounding than the Flowmasters. they also flow much better. i have tried various combos on my chevelle, but the ultraflos are by far the best sounding. here's what i've tried:
Flowmaster 40 series 2-chamber (the loud ones): loud as hell at idle and acceleration... soundwise, they sound decent at first, but after being on for a bit, they get annoying soundwise.... there's a frequency that grates on your ears... not pleasing, and seem to have a weird resonance around 35-45mph. more of a me-too, every body has one, kinda sound from the 'masters. Dynomax Super Turbos: these are an "S" curve design inside made out of perforated tube, with fiberglass matting.... they're not as loud as the Flowmasters. the chevy picked up a little top end, though it seems, and the schematics i got with them compare the 40 series directly with the Super Ts, and the Ts were shown to flow better. soundwise, they're reasonable at idle.... not loud, but more subdued... muscular... they really kind of tease you as to what may be lurking under the hood. when you nail it, these puppies really open up to a full on throaty wail. loud, crisp, and muscular. really sweet. and at $20 and under, these things are a great deal. Dynomax Ultraflo Ovals: this is the more street friendly (relatively speaking) of the Ultraflo race muff family. they're in the same price range as the 'masters. they feature a straight through perforated pipe encased in fiberglass matting. these are an awesome race/street muff that flow like crazy. at idle, they have a deep, throaty, ballsy-as-hell rumble that means business. on acceleration, the sound from these things puts the awe in awesome. loud, racy, and gives you a serious case of the giggles. overall, they're a hair quieter than the 40-series muffs, but sound infinitely better. other stuff to keep in mind with your exhaust tone is first, what diameter pipe you're running... 2.5" seems to be the best all the way through- flows great, and gives a more open tone. 2"-2.25" can get restrictive especially on a breathed on motor. 3" is usually overkill. headers will give your exhaust a bit more of an open sound, along with that awesome "tinny" sound if you have a big cam, H and X pipes will quiet you down a bit and smooth it out.... Xs more so (both also help your top end)... and lastly, if you run a full length system or dump right after the muff gives you a whole different sound.... more racy, louder etc...... hope this helps you out some....

thanks, neutrino.... i've been over at Team Chevelle for a couple years now, and have been looking for a good street race board, since ANY street race talk is frowned upon over at the Team. i've been reading the stuff here, and you guys seem to have your heads on straight.... it's unfortunate, but too many street race boards are full of flames, and are either hardcore import or domestic..... this board here, though is a credit to the street scene. you guys all seem open minded no matter what your main squeeze is for a car, and that's a sign of true hot rodders and gearheads.

flowmaster really doens't give it any special throaty sound. if you wnat a muffler that will give it a very very nice rumble, you need to get a magnaflow. those things sound mean!!

Just stay away from flowmasters, everyone has them. And after you get your exhaust done throw on some good 3:73 gears and you will really feel a power increase.
