Default What is the BEST Muffler?

Im looking for the best flowing quietest muffler for my new 93lx. The 89 is already loud, so I'm going quiet with this one.


Anyone have any suggestions? Also the best flowing 2.5" cat.

Skyler

I already knew someone would *****. Because I already have 1 very loud car, and I want something different.

Thats why.

I've heard good things about dynomax ultraflo welds...I'm looking for a quiet hi flow muffler as well...I just can't afford any yet. I was thinking about replacing the cam first...leaning towards a "b" or the "e", but that's another thread.

i have dynomax ultra flows and they are nice and quiet even with the offroad h-pipe and the long tubes. The onlything that sucks is u can totally hear the car camming. When i get on the car it gets pretty loud though

later

Couple issues ago 5.0 Mustang had a test with many different mufflers with their dyno numbers and decible levels. If my memory serves me correct the best flowing and quiestest muffler was the Bassani Real Street. I think Borla's and Magnaflow's also have a somewhat quieter tone. ~Brian

Hey there the best quiet mufflers are Flowmasters 40 series 2 chamber but make sure you get delta force there a little quiter then the regular and every one i installed go about 5 more horse then the regular ones. I work at a mustang shop and i have tried every muffler,hooker,dynomax, gibson, monza, borla, steeda, Flowtech, you name ive heard it, the only thing is is a mustang once you get on it its gonna open up and get a little loud no matter what muffler you use but the the one i listed is the best ive heard.

Edelbrock makes a nice stainless straight-through design muffler (Performer RPM, I think) that's pretty quiet and has a nice tone to it.

I have the Flowmasters and I would not recommend them to anyone who wants a quiet muffler. I've had the cops called on me countless times for loud exhaust. Tomorrow I'll try scan that 5.0 Mustang article. That should really help you decide. ~Brian

Hey there Gt-40X is one of the best heads you can buy it is very hard to get them in stock but you can get them at alot of mustang place,, JEGS,SUMMIT,EXCESSIVE motorsport, theres other places too, Sorry but there are really called GT-40X turbo Swirl, my bad,i will make the corretion, i got them from summit. 40 series delta flow are your more quiter muffler i dont mean regular 40 series either they are alot loudier.

Every Flowmaster I have heard has been deep and plain loud, period. ~Brian

If you want quiet go with a x-pipe and dynamax mufflers. You cant even here my 5.0 going down the track. My cobra with the stock exhaust is louder than my 5.0.
