- Here is the full video of my Thrush Turbo LS3 Nova. So I have to change them out bc I feel they are too restrictive for the amount of Air being sucked in. I knw I know that they are but I was running cut outs but those broke and now I have them sealed off. I have Pypes Pro Street that is going on.
I’ve been searching the web to find a sound, that I want my car to sound like and you’ve done it. Thank you for the video.
To each his own, I'd use them. I hate overbearing loud mufflers. You can distinctly hear the cammed up engine.
You know Patrick what’s funny is just a few years ago I didn’t mind the loud in overbearing muffler noise now I’m just like just give me somewhere less than in the middle. These were literally zero noise at highway speed‘s. Which I grew to like. I guess the older we get the more mature we get and don’t like loud things. Lol
I had someone ask what was under the hood at a drive through because it sounded so good, with a thrush turbo....the engine? 250 L6 2barrel 😂
I had the same mufflers on a 2002 Chevy Malibu it sounded good on the highway
Cammed up? 🤣
I think the turbo muffler design deserves more respect, they are a great street muffler and once they break in from a few heat cycles, they sound great. Everyone needs a 600- 1000 hp street car now and it makes no sense to me.
Since Camaros, mustangs and corvettes are in the 650-700 range factory it's the way now
You have a true beast car..... The Super Turbos sounds great......... it’s not over baring......... true balls 💪🏾💪🏾
hope you got the problem fixed but it sounds like a tuning/fuel delivery issue to me. The mufflers sure as hell didn't cause the dying at idle or the bucking going down the road. I've run those thrush turbo's on 9 second street cars that I wanted a stealth factor on with no issues.
Im a big fan of turbo mufflers. Especially the Dynomax Super Turbo. The offset inlet and outlet with the flow directors. They sound great and are quiet. And they flow pretty well.
Sounds great with the turbo mufflers, but I’m betting that it’s choking off a lot of potential for the engine.
I need to look for your other muffler videos.
Great Nova, btw- SUPER clean and not “overdone”.
👍🏻
Those sounded way better than I expected. Pypes will wake up the block for sure.
I have them on now. They’re not that bad really. I’ve got a video uploaded of them and just need to do some editing. Stay tuned for it.
They give you a really smooth spund while still flowing really well, I love turbo mufflers, they do great on 4cyl engines also!
I used to run 30” Cadillac mufflers on my full-race 355 cu. in. Camaro. It was so quiet, all you could hear was the solid-lifter valvetrain. It made that car one helluva sleeper.
30" Cadillac mufflers?
@@uptownsamcv That’s right. Driving around town, or at idle, you could barely hear the engine. It only got noisy at full throttle and that was primarily intake noise.
@@ChicagoRob2 how do I find one?
@@uptownsamcv They probably aren’t available anymore. Mine were from one of the 500 cu.in. engines, from the early 70s.
might aswell use factor single exhaust lol
Damn! I’m glad you still around! It’s been a while. Just awesome! Another sign life is still good!
I've always liked the sound myself, you can hear the motor.
The Thrush are the best sound for no drone inside the car. They sound great outside and you can still hear the radio inside. If you want best performance and loudness just mount exhaust dumps inline.
for the good loud deep tone use the dynomax
I have those years ago on my Ford Torino with a 400 I almost took them off because I felt like they were too quiet but after they broke in a bit and I put some water and help crystallize and break up and settle the fiberglass packing they sounded like a rich throaty glass pack after they broke in and made a substantial difference compared to when they were brand new.
You’re exactly right. Maybe after 10,000 miles I started to notice the difference.
@Skip R Thrush does make a turbo muffler with fiberglass packing, O think they're called Hush Thrush or something like that.
I'm a flowmaster man myself cause i like the deeper throaty sound but i think your middle of the road sound your looking for with better air flow but not so much in cab drown might be a choice between total muffler delete and the cherry bomb. both will increase the air flow but the cherry bomb seems to be just a little loader in cab drown for your passenger she may not like that but for your neighbors; it a muscle car baby!!! if you choice flowmaster; they are deep at first but after a while they do get louder in time.... the choice is yours. good luck...
The turbo mufflers sound good on your car and would make for a good long distance driver. I'm a Flowmaster guy myself and as far as foxbodys go they are the best combo in my opinion. However the 2 chamber drone gets old after a while and sometimes I like to switch it up. You may want to look into the Dynomax ultra flo welded. That's my favorite alternative with a nice deep mean sound that sounds off but is not over the top. They sound nice inside the vehicle as well without the drone.
I’ve had Delta Flow 40’s for years. I have 2 pairs in my garage now. I have exhaust clamps on my mufflers and I’m planning on doing a swap as a look see.
You need the thrush welded mufflers my favorite ones.
I love the sound . Sounds perfect . They are restrictive though. Turbo muffler are the only quiet muffler . I got a 6th gen Camaro and I ordered some pypes turbo pro mufflers
Sounds perfect thanks for posting
Beautiful car!!!
I love that sound!
My Nova had a 400SB … running around 475hp. The Thrush Turbo sounded Soooo good, but mine were dumped in front of the axle…so when it rumbled, it shook the house!
I think the turbos sound good
I think it sounds fine as well .. awesome
Yea ya don't want the "gargling" sound at idle but sounds good drive by. But plz put a tip on your tailpipe. Not necessarily to help with sound but just for cosmetic.
Chrome tip it.
Dynomax super turbos are really good if you want good flowing quieter mufflers
Loved the sound of my chrevelle with these mufflers
You actually hear the secondaries open when ya stomp on it and yes it is a great sound
Wtf is a proper muscle car sound that's crazy talk imo
Not to mention, with those "turbo" mufflers, your 500hp just became about 480hp! With Hooker Max Flow mufflers, you won't lose any horsepower, and it'll sound amazing, no droning (at least none for me).
Don't know what you've currently got, but there's a few really good and inexpensive options. The Flowmaster FlowFX and Cherry Bomb Salute are both Magnaflow/Ultraflo knockoffs: stainless steel straight through mufflers. They have the best flow you can get, amazing sound and as long as you have full tailpipes out the back, little to no drone. They're also just like the Pypes Race Pro mufflers.
Also another one I've used: Hooker Aerochamber, sort of a mix between a FlowFX and a chambered Flow 40 series. Great sound and flow, very little (liveable) drone.
Pypes Pro Street. But raspy at acceleration and drone is at 75. Overall it's not bad.
I want the quietest exhaust possible and cutouts to make it loud if I want.
Damn that's a beautiful car 😍😍😍🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
the best is simply to replace the resonator with the glasspack trush and the exaust with a turbo trush
I had some on my '79 f-100. Everyone loved the second including me
I love the sound of the turbo mufflers
Sounds Awesome to me!! I like a quiet car!
This is a dynomax super turbo muf car. Trust me. I had whole duels ran on my '72 Nova. Floored me on start up. Grined ear to ear.
That is oddly quiet, may be tailpipes but i have a c1500 with only 325 to 350hp 355 with dual 3" with headers that dumps at the axl i ran 40s for years and it was obcenely loud eventually i wanted a bit quieter i did get hassled a bunch so i put cherrie bomb turbos and it was still pretty loud, it has a deep fairly loud growl...and the lumpy idle is pretty loud, i Duno.
IT's a ECU tune issue. Or Fuel pump or regulator.
Your Nova looks and sounds great! I’m thinking of doing a LS swap with my 70 nova .I would love it if you have any suggestions.
If you have a dream list make it happen. You’ll never look back and say, man I wish I didn’t.
Build the car for what you want it to do. I built this one as a highway cruiser. At 80mph I’m at 2150rpm & gets 26mpg. It’s not a drag strip king but it has enough hp to keep up with the best.
If funding gets in the way…finance the needed amount on your daily driver. I did 20k & but added 3 years to my loan note which wasn’t bad..
Try to do the job yourself. Do not pay anyone to do it for you. If you get stuck on something there’s a RUclips video of someone showing you how to do it.
Good luck buddy & drive safe & be safe. 🚗💨💨
@@TexasNova Great advice see you on the road.
This with some cutouts👌👌
I’m old school I have a 383 Satelite cammed and other mods and my turbo mufflers
Very quiet. Seems almost any 2 25 or
2.5" muffler would flow a healthy V-8. Didn't hear a big cam, don't know how big the carb is either, but guessing it's moderate.. Seemed more like a fuel or maybe ignition problem..
Best wishes, after 3 years, lol..
Quite and Loud. I get both with Pypes Race Pro mufflers. Its loud when it counts.
Any Drone?
@@TexasNova I have a video explaining what drone actually is. So to answer your question, I did not have drone when I initially installed the system. Then I made changes many years later and drone appeared. I then eliminated the drone frequency specifically with the use of Quarter wave resonator tube. No Drone at all. Actually quieter than the wind noise at 70-80 mph.
@@reborn74nova Just watched it. TY for that. I've got Cutouts that I closed off & might have to utilize them. Bro you're Amazing.
The mufflers aren't the issue eather a tuning issue or electrical
Probably using a 3/4 race cam and 4 lifters are in the oil pan.
Wow, B-e-a-utiful car, and great sounds... the car dying, your exactly correct, it’s because it can’t fully breathe (it’s not fully exhaling) I think you might like the 16” neighbor hater, black widow series mufflers. Give them a shot sometime. Keep on keeping on big guy 🤘
That small of an engine doesn’t move enough air especially n/a for them mufflers to choke it out at idle lol. Especially when I’m sure you have dual exhaust with some sort of xpipe or at least I hope you do cuz I run dual 2.5 in Autozone mufflers on my h/c/I 6.0 and have no issue even spraying it with 150 shot. Check the tune for idle enrichment sounds like it’s in the tune
Yeah they quite ass hell i went with Dynomax Turbos
I’m currently running flowmaster super 40’s and after 15 years the internal baffles have deteriorated and is causing a rattle. I bought thrust turbo mufflers at advanced auto parts for less than $30 a piece. I can’t wait to get these installed so I can have a quieter ride.
I really think you will enjoy them. They’re going to be super quiet at first but after about 5 to 10,000 miles it’ll get a little bit more lumpy. At highway speed‘s you won’t even hear them. Let me know how How they turn out when you get them installed
Just got them installed, night and day difference in noise level. There’s a tiny bit of drone upon acceleration between 1500-2000 rpm but it’s negligible. I hope it stays that way. Now also have 12” resonators just before the tips so that helps.
@@beastfromtheeast9318 you’ll enjoy them. I did on mine & I’d surely buy them again.
Mufflers don't cause your car to buck. Need a good tuner.
$25,000 car with a $5 tune. Brilliant.
You Should have went with the Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers They support up to 635HP & flow up to 700/SCFM. Those mufflers you are using are way too Restrictive for your engine! You can't just go by sound alone LOL❗
I’ve got a video in Editing. New ones are Pypes. Good sounding. ZERO Drone. I think these were killing me maybe 20+hp
Thrush turbo mufflers aren't good for high flow. They are they exact opposite, they are for quietness not performance.
Im trying to find a quiet PERFORMANCE muffler.
I might put large diameter stock type on it. One per side.
Sweet ride! Whose front highlights are those?
Dying at idle after about 2+ minutes = idle mixture way to rich, ends up fouling out plugs.
If u want loud.id use classic cherry bomb glasspacks.quiet magnaflow. make vid when u changum please.
I will soon stay tuned.
the only place there is to much air coming out is right below your nose....
I put a 3" exhaust with Thrush turbo muffler on my Maxima and it's not as quiet as I expected, I get drone still...
Love it! That car has wicked stance!
With my big block Chevy 468 oval ported . 3.25 rear gear ..Man at 45 mph sounds like a horse trotting through the night .
car sounds good but maybe these mufflers are not designed to handle 500 hp.
Sounds good to me. I"m tired of loudass cars!
Very nice, thrush rattler mufflers might have helped the sound
Ya know they’re not as bad as some people think. It’s all about preferences I guess
I like the sound.
They sound nice I don't think the mufflers are problem
Pypes are great a lot of pontiac guys I know use their wholes system. I'm ready to go back to glass packs on my gto, full length system just for a throw back change.
Yeah but you can hear that thing has some balls. Don’t need loud mufflers to walk softly and carry a big stick.
Hell those sound good 😮
It sounds like the idle is too low which might be the idle stalling issue.
thrush sounds alot better than flowmaster
Nice car I have a 74 SS 355 4 speed hatch and a 71 Acadian 355 Vortec T5
Those mufflers are 1 7/8" inside... Dynomax turbos are a little louder 2 1/2" inside diameter.
I would make this suggestion = Put 3 inch exaust all the way to the back and your sensor problems will be solved. Back pressure is NOT good.
2.5 is too small for all that power. Even 2.75 would be a huge improvement
Spintech would enhance the chop and keep the drone down from 2,500 to 3,000rpm. Ignition timing too low let's it die.
Perfect sleeper
Thrush sounds good 👍
Hollar at me. I'm in Conroe. I'll sort ya out.
Soo I essentially have a straight piped car with just 2, 2 chamber mufflers on my swap, its a cammed 5.3 and it's annoyingly loud at idle and as loud rolling through I was thinking about maybe putting glass packs infront of my 2 chamber mufflers or I wondered if the turbo mufflers quieted down enough to be good enough for every day use? Your thoughts ?
Magnaflow dog! Those don't match your car. Try a rumble, they sound good. Deep tone.
Sounds great !
Sounds good to me
Nice car
Thrush sound good
Ya they’re not bad. For some reason they have a bad rap. It did get a bit louder as they broke in.
Sounds great
Anyone knows the part number?
Perfect for mine
That's almost what I'm looking for.. something a little quieter tho. for a cruiser.. HOURS LONG ROAD TRIP.. any suggestions?
Hush thrush
try the new pypes turbo's or the violators . I put on my 82 dodge truck with a mildly built 318 a set of flow master FX their identical to magnaflows but half the price 35 - 45 bucks each
I like the car those are the last days when they were quality new ones BOOO! My mom had a 67 chevy 396
If my lift driver picks me up in a nova like that im going to tip the hell out of him or her lol and im about to put those turbo muffs on my mildly built 302 fox body.. Im to old for having to put earplugs on when im driving on the highway smh.. I had those on my Lincoln mark Vlll 4.6 4v car and loved them.. Im hoping they don't make it too quite tho lol... Btw you can check out my 86 Saleen clone foxbody mustang on my RUclips channel 😉
Sounds good.
You actually said "it's not loud enough...it's not proper musclecar sound...."
All show, no go...
Sounds good
nice sound
Definitely needs to be louder! But it sounds okay..
Tomorrow is the day they get swapped out. Stay tuned for an updated video
$30 muffler on 500hp, buddy what did you expect.
What diameter are he pipes, do you have a crossover.
2.5 inch with an X Pipe
@@TexasNova I have a 78nova with a 454 big block. it's putting up about the same hp. My exhaust is full tube headers with 2" primaries into 3" pipes going straight back into 3" in and out dynomax. I have a 3" crossover which takes care of the drone. I really like this system, it's serving me well.
@@joesmith306 sounds like a beefy set up you have there.
@@TexasNova I don't race it, it's just a street car. It's a solid lifter flat tappet cam, run solids all my life. 4 speed, I'm old school, na all the way no cheating.
@@TexasNova maybe you need a bit bigger diameter. I upgraded carbs on my 63 valiant when I first got it. They had a 1 3/4 pipe was not enough. Changed to 2.5 solved my problem. Perhaps you need to go to 3 inches or so. It was similar issue with me bigger pipes solved it. Hope this helps brother
It sounds good, question is, how much hp does it cost?
495hp GM LS3 Crate
@@TexasNova not the answer to the question he asked.
If it were a race car then it might really matter.
Car sounds great do u have any of that drown noise in the car
Man there is zero drone at highway speed‘s. I believe these are so under rated. I would definitely buy these again if I had a little lower horsepower motor
You actually do not hear them at highway speed only at idle which is wonderful to me
@@TexasNova thanks sir
Get some borla crate mufflers they sound sick
Nice buddy
That is awesome
Thanks buddy
IM GOING TO USE THIS EXACT SET UP…The noise is overrated
Get some glasspacks!
How does it sound?
