What Type Of Muffler Should You Go With When Upgrading Your Exhaust?

- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- This PowerNation Extra gives you a look at the different kinds of aftermarket mufflers available when you want to upgrade your exhaust system. Marc from Detroit Muscle lays out the three main types: glasspack, chamber, and turbo. The glasspack is the original high performance muffler. However, chamber and turbo aren't bad options either depending on what you're going for.

Yep...had glass packs on my 72 Chevelle. My Dad said..I can hear you coming home from work miles away, back in the day.
How true...LOL
Well, that told me absolutely nothing....
Yep you're right!
Well then maybe unplug your ears and listen? Jesus. Lowest attention spans nowadays.
@snickerdoooodle Title of the video is literally what muffler should you go with? Not of the sort was said, just the different kinds of mufflers. Maybe you should open your ears?
@@1FiftyOverland the characteristics as to sound output and exhaust flow on each type of muffler were described. That could help you decide which muffler you will use on your car
My favorite all around setup so far has been a glass pack with a turbo muffler behind it
Currently running turbo muffs, but also have on hand a pair of glass packed resonators I am willing to try just to see if they will help mellow out the sound. 351 Windsor in a '73 Ranchero, street & highway use only....
....RooDog....
What muffler was that last one? The black one.
>Having to replace packing
>Having drone and rasp
I like chambered. If I really needed quiet, I'd use a U-turn "turbo" style or multiple chambered mufflers, or a multi-chamber muffler. Loud mode? Cherry Bomb M80.
Chambered muffler create tons of drone right?
@@hanialzhrani5897 Depends on the quality. A cheaply made one with thin walls will probably sound buzzy and echoy. Some people like that, though. Also a lot of other factors about your entire exhaust system come into play such as headers, your crossover if you have a V engine, whether or not you have catalytic convertors and what kind (high flow vs regular), the diameter of your exhaust tubing, wall thickness of it, location of the tip, and so on.
The state of tune your engine is in also plays a role. A more highly tuned engine with higher compression and aggressive cams will be louder than a stock or economy engine. Displacement plays a role, too. Bigger engine, usually a bigger sound. Any weird shit like cylinder deactivation for economy, variable cam timing/lift, and so on will also affect sound when those come into play.
So... What are you looking to achieve?
Dynomax Race Bullets and never look back. That or Spintech are my favorite sounding mufflers
Don't they drone though (the bullets)?
@@trashbandit2449 you can get rid of drone pretty much with any muffler or no muffler by adding "J Pipes" look that up. 😀very cool J pipes really reduce drone in all my vehicles
@@StickShiftMuscle yeah I've seen those, just wondering if that's necessary with the bullets. Kind of shying away from them though because they seem super loud. The 14" magnaflow bullets seem to be the way to go for me. People say they're pretty quiet though
@@trashbandit2449 bullets are my favorite
Thank you for the information!
Use the glass pack for the tail pipe off of your muffler of choice...
What muffler can I put on my 4.3l V6 that Doesn't make it sound like boat motor at 3k+ rpms?
Holset
@@ericross5018 Holset makes Turbo Chargers (forced air intakes) not mufflers!
For *Mufflers* (exhaust) go with either Thrush Turbo Mufflers or AP Xlerator Big Max Turbo Mufflers!
@@saintnificent5532 That's correct, & I'm more of a chambered guy myself
Back in the 70’s growing up in Pittsburgh, my father had a 1969 Buick Electra 225. He had put dual exhaust on it with a pair of 57 T-Bird resonator’s for mufflers. Man It sounded sweet.
I moved away to Maryland in 1976 and while I was gone he had put a pair of Cherry Bombs on it. OMG you want to talk about Loud !!! That big ole 430 in it really came to life but was obnoxiously loud. Even with the windows up.
But by 1978 the salt from on the roads in the winter time took a toll on the frame and it rotted out back at the rear of the rear wheel arch and he had to junk it. There was no such thing as fixing a frame back then.
I wonder what those sound like?
i have a 2018 ford transit connect( I know...) what system would you guys recomend? We will put a turbo on the existing engine also and rebuild the engine what should i buy?>
What brand are the blacked out ones
All he said was its a hybrid muffler.
I wouldn't use the eardrum busting glass packs
That’s two minutes of my life I wasted. How about adding the sound difference beyond the two?
Interesting, but I was hoping for a little more tech data.
Are the magnaflow and flowfx considered glasspacks? They have that same style but use steel whool i think for muffling.
They are similar but not what I would really consider a glasspack. Similar sound but not usually as loud or near as much interior resonance as a regular glasspack can be capable of.
I'm thinking putting a rumble exhaust on a Dodge Dakota hope it don't sound like crap
Is a turbo muffler increase mpg?
I drive an auto transmission. Which suits my car? S-flow or straight flow?
I know my vehicle isn't exactly the normal for you guys, but I have a 1992 Nissan D21 truck. It's a 4 banger with a 5 speed. I have a Pace Setter header that came with it. Could you please recommend a muffler for it please? I'm very lost when it comes to this.
I had a 94 Nissan hardbody with a 4 banger and went with a flowmaster original 40 series and it sounded great, nice deep throaty sound note without being too loud and it didn't sound like a fart cannon either.
@@wsttxC10_454 really like it when they sound like a big fart can thats my favorite
Very informative thank you!
HAs the channel ever did a dual exhaust versus single challenge/test?
i just got a 84 cutlass with horrible sounding dual 2" exhaust with red glasspack bottles and wondering if it would sound better as in more rumbly with one single 3" which will also flow better since one 3" pipe is about 7 sq cm versus 2 x2" =6.28 sq cm?
or can that smaller 2" dual setup scavenge better and keep low end TQ versus a big single which may gain high rpm hp but sacrifice about the same amt of low/mid range TQ
to make the question even harder, im currently running the stock 305 SBC but already bought a used 2003 5.3L LS which will double the stock 305hp [nevermind all the ponies that escaped that 305 barn in last 37 yrs, lol. ]
SO i dont wanna spend any more than neccessary on this dual system if im gonna upgrade to a bigger dual or bigger single exhaust for the LS motor in near future
Dual 2.5 or dual 2.25 into an X pipe, then go .25 inches smaller after the crossover pipe
What does a flo-pro max muffler sound like
A flowmaster can make anything sound good
Camshaft overlap compression ECT will determine how much quote-unquote loop there is.... If you've got something that makes power and you're concerned with performance you better be able to see through the muffler.. no choke them down chamber BS!
Guys. Do you ever heard about auto transmission need to use s flow exhaust rather then straight flow because auto transmission need more back pressure?
If i dont care about at sound at all.. and i just wanted the largest performance increase (increase in horsepower) i could get. I dont care if its loud or quiet, what is the best type of muffler to get for a hemi charger ?
Straight pipe.
OddTimeMan i do want to leave some type of muffler on because I don’t want to lose any low end torque.... I read especially cars with NA engines use mufflers to gain torque.. I could be wrong though... Not sure if it is a myth?
You won't lose torque if you delete your muffler.
Straight through mufflers is the best in performance attached with H pipe or X. Sound quality would lean more with chamber....depending on your prefence or opinion. I LIKE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS THATS WHY I FAVOR STRAIGHT THROUGH...Mufflers....sorry for the caps...lol
Cherry Bomb seems to be undefeated 😂😂😂
Which one provides the better Power increase over stock? Glasspack?
Yes glasspack is a straight through desighn therefore it will shit the exaust out better
I just don't like the hollow-metal-can sound of the chambered "Flowmaster style" mufflers. Plus, they don't flow as well as a straight-through muffler. Glasspack for the win!
Yep! Going with dynomax bullets on my 99 5.0 explorer.
@The Bushwacker There are glasspacks out there without the louvers. Many have perforated tubes instead, so there's nothing to impede the exhaust flow. Turbo mufflers have all kinds of things in them to impede the flow.
@The Bushwacker Watch this and tell me they don't flow well.
ruclips.net/video/CF3RfyD-DzE/видео.html
@The Bushwacker Wow, there's nothing worse than an arrogant know-it-all punk kid like you. I've been working on cars for 40 years. I probably have food in my fridge older than you.
@@OddTimeMan In those 40 years did you set up equipment, run tests and record your findings? I’m interested in learning everything I can about exhaust and I want to see actual numbers. Everyone I encounter seems to have their own opinion. I could find 10 more people who have been working on cars 40 years and get 10 different opinions.
Coraggio!!
So.... pointless video
I have an 2005 Silverado. I Want a deep throaty so d but not a loud mouth of a muffler. What would be ideal?
johnathan ashley I had a Flowmaster 40 on my 01 Silverado Z71 gen 3 5.3. It sounded good, not too loud and a little drone sound in the cab. I now have a Flowmaster 10 1 into 2 muffler with the exhaist tips at a 45 degree angle. It sounds good, loud, and pops a little bit coming off the throttle at high rpms. I love it!
hmmmm.... okay I'm gonna take a look at them I have heard a lot buzz about folwmasters. I was looking at a Summit Racing muffler but wasn't sure.
johnathan ashley there's a bunch of videos comparing bsck and forth of which one to get.
I know this is late but I can tell you on my 1993 LT1 Corvette I had first went with Flowmaster 2-chamber mufflers, the previous owner had removed the stock dual mufflers completely (and needless to say it was very loud like that) but the 2-chamber Flowmasters were barely any different than having no mufflers at all, plus they actually droned WORSE between 1,500-2,500 rpms. They were a bit quieter at idle and at higher rpms but that was it.
Clearly I wasn't satisfied with this setup so I had quickly set up an exchange on Amazon and went with Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers instead, and I am VERY happy with them. They are much better than the Flowmasters in my opinion, they are much quieter at idle and at all rpms, there's virtually no drone (which was a big problem with the Flowmasters) but they still provide enough sound & flow at higher rpms which gives them a deep, clean, sporty tone. To me they are almost perfect for someone that's looking for more sound/flow than the stock exhaust but with a loud and obnoxious sound. They are definitely not loud but they still have a nice rumble that's not overbearing.
Based on what you said you're looking for I would definitely recommend the Dynomax Super Turbo muffler, you can't go wrong with them and they are inexpensive on Amazon.
@@crazyjkz Thanks Patrick, I'm dealing with a very similar situation. I just have an old work truck, a 1985 C10, engine and tranny swapped with a glass pack y-pipe into a single outlet. It's fricken loud and I feel bad driving past my neighbors. I will try the Dynomax.
what muffler should i put on a automatic transmission car?
For me I like it quiet. I have a Ford racing muffler on my Shelby KR which looks like Borla ATAK mufflers very loud and raspy. I got a 40 series flowmaster on my fairmont and it’s pretty loud too. My daily is a festiva which is a small car with 1.3L. I run a magnaflow and a vibrant ultra quiet resonator. It works perfect. Not loud and annoying at all plus it’s straight through design.
same as a manual. there is no difference.
Not a glass pack lol
What about for a 2020 Hyundai Elantra SEL?
Haha just no
Which muffler and tail pipe would be the most suitable to get a deeper sound on a Golf 7 1.6 TDI? Are there any possibilities?
A glasspack filters out higher frequency noises, so you get a lower tone from it, but once you exceed a certain exhaust gas threshold it starts letting through a lot of high frequency pulses that sound like those pops or often referred to as raspiness. The longer the glasspack, the deeper the tone. This is because the length of the tube is directly proportional to the frequency filtering. So if you want a deep tone on a tiny engine, try and get an 18-24" long glasspack to be used as a resonator about halfway through your exhaust.
Then if you want to get rid of the higher frequency rasp, you can run a chambered muffler on the end. It will make use of the already filtered sound and still keep things deep, but also help with the rasp leftover from the glasspack. Or if you like those higher frequency pops when you floor it, then just stick another glasspack muffler on the end or try out a turbine muffler. A turbine type can sound deep too, and it is sort of a combination of glasspack and chambered types in design.
What muffler was that last one?
Cherry Bomb Vortex, those are all Cherry Bomb brand mufflers.
Wich is X Force
no need muflers because to eazier exhaust air flow
Then there's cannon exhausts
Does changing muffler give any gains?
Yes.
My buddy had a 75 ltd in HS. ( 400m/fmx trans)
It would not break a tire loose at all. We went and bought a terminator muffler from pepboys ( no idea if they even call it that anymore.)
Went to a muffler shop and they installed the muffler. Using as little new pipe as possible in the process.
That did the trick. He could break the tire loose and do a proper peg-leg burnout with ONE cheap muffler.
Thx
And ya I just watched a Dyno test with regular muffler and then megnaflow then a over the top exhaust system and it is proven
I can’t wait
Doing mine piece by piece
Doing headers muffler then res delete not
Doing shorty headers because I’m not trying to build a drag truck lol
Ya even with just my cold air I can feel the big difference on highway going up and down hills

Give you a real lumpy idol from a restrictive muffler..... Yeah don't listen to this guy!!!!
Borla XR-1's
Stay away from chambered mufflers if you like to be able to hear yourself think or carry a conversation.
You just won the dumbest comment 🥇.
The correct answer is, Flowmaster.
Agreed
😂😂 and sound like every other Joe out there. They are over rated. Black widow is better imo
40 Series Delta Flow is in my opinion the best sounding muffler
Got 70 series. They are loud inside the cab
All day everyday!!!! Smart man you are!!!!!!
If you put a turbo on your car. It will quiet it down.
yes
