Silver Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 693 Registered: Jan-06 | OLd school Turbo mufflers, they are as deep as you can get it and even make a 6 sound like an 8. Back in the 80's when they had the old grand nationals, that's what mufflers they used and they sure sounded like 8's. Polo.. PS- they also had a set I think they were called Thrush.. |

Silver Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 695 Registered: Jan-06 | He wants DEEP not loud, glasspacks and cherry's sound like sh!t they are too SNAPPY sounding. It is a Crown Vic not a Bu with a 500 caddy engine in it, lol. You want DEEP, go with turbos, it will give you the nice LOOOWWWW tuned rumble and not kill the person next to you.

Bronze Member Username: Jeffless600Post Number: 82 Registered: Feb-06 | loud is good to! |
|
Silver Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 699 Registered: Jan-06 | If you need louder after the turbos, then unbolt your cat and use a long steel rod to knock the honey comb out then start the car up to blow it out (rev it good), old school trick,lol.. Polo. |
|
Gold Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 2206 Registered: Sep-05 | Agreed with Polo.... The deeper is better than louder... CherryBomb is what them high schoolers use.. However its the loudest thing you will possibly get from a pipe... I too suggest running a straight pipe from the exhaust manifolds... Just hope u dont get a ticket after that.... |

Silver Member Username: Talon_es93Post Number: 150 Registered: Mar-06 | i need help with the too .. i have a V6 3.8 buick regal limited.. i wanted to put dual strate pipes on mine but i was afraid it would sound like a little rice burner.. what would be good to put on the pipes for a nice DEEP tone |
|
Silver Member Username: Talon_es93Post Number: 151 Registered: Mar-06 | someone told me to get unbaffled glasspacks and it wokn't be all the loud but it will have nice tone to it... that true? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Buckshot2Lynn Haven/Panama City..., FL Post Number: 20 Registered: Mar-06 | go with flowmasters they give off low deep sounds i think ive heard their super 40 or summin like that they sound good |
|
Silver Member Username: Talon_es93Post Number: 152 Registered: Mar-06 | my dad has a flowmaster exuahst on his truck and it sounds hella nice but its a V8 and mines only a V6 so i doubt mine will sound as good as his |
|
Silver Member Username: RzarectorCoquitlam, Bc Canada Post Number: 994 Registered: Dec-04 | yeh if u want a deep sound get an uncatted H pipe with flowmasters |
|
Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 11477 Registered: Dec-03 | ok if you have a V8 and it's quiet, it's caused by a restrictive exhaust. put headers on in place of the factory manifolds, and run new pipes straight out the back with non-restrictive cats and flowmasters. that'll liven the sound up. If you want a meaner lope to the engine, you need a hotter cam, and that would mean reprogramming the ECU most likely as well. |

Silver Member Username: FandimReno, Nevada United State... Post Number: 856 Registered: Jun-05 | LoL. Glasswolf's advice is a bit... more expensive than it sounds like you're looking for.. And plus - when you talk about doing your headers, you're talking major overhauling on your engines exhaust system. Huge performance upgrade comes with this too, though... But it's pretty major work on most engines, and isnt going to be a simple little job like replacing a muffler. |

Gold Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 2223 Registered: Sep-05 | hmm, I need a new cam... performance reasons that is.... Runin straight pipes would be easiest for him, with new exhaust manifolds... that will be more than enough V8 sound for him... also cheapest route... |
|
Silver Member Username: Talon_es93Post Number: 155 Registered: Mar-06 | what if i was to put some headers on my V6 and run strate pipes?? can i get a V8 sound like that or should i still go with a flowmaster? |
|
Silver Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 717 Registered: Jan-06 | You will never get close to sounding like a V8. I have been this route before. In my opinion the worse thing you could do would be to run straight pipes (no mufflers) it sound like sh!t not to mention backpressure would be horrible. Headers would just magnify the horrible v6 sound and get you tickets, not to mention there would be no need for a system anymore. There is nothing worse than a v6 sounding loud and not going anywhere. In order to mask the nasty v6 sound you need baffles to bring the exhaust pulsations closer, deeper and it will be harder for people to tell. If you ever heard an old school Grand National you would like it..Polo. |

Silver Member Username: Killerzracing71Fredericksburg, Virginia United states Post Number: 469 Registered: Aug-05 | well yestrday i had a long post on whut jeff should do....but my school $ucks so i wouldnt let me post No glasspacks, cherrybombs or any of that... just get some flowmasters u say u want loud choose from these 3 40 series -loudest, only 1 or 2 baffles inside (aka chambers) 80$ a piece from summit or jegs (all price from their) 40 delta series-deep still loud but not as loud in the inside 100-130$ 50 series-quiter still loud when u get on it (i assume thats whut u want) ????$ under 150 |
|
Bronze Member Username: Jeffless600Post Number: 96 Registered: Feb-06 | how much louder is the 40 series then the 40 delta?..and does the deltas deeper sound make up for its lack of loudness? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Van_manPost Number: 14 Registered: Mar-06 | Throw on a set of side pipes... @ $180 for the set. Cut the pipe just below the manafold and clamp them in...better yet have em welded... Also make sure to use a flex connector on the drivers side to comp for engine twist... I had a set on my 81 caprice w/olds 350.. Sounded sweet.. |
|
Gold Member Username: RzarectorCoquitlam, Bc Canada Post Number: 1002 Registered: Dec-04 | i had an some BBK headers, Uncatted Bassani X pipe and magnaflow catbacks on my 88 stang and it sounded sweet, an X pipe gives you a raspier sound as opposed to the deepness an h pipe gives you |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 11482 Registered: Dec-03 | my suggestions ofer performance gain because I see no reason for trying to make a car sound impressive when it sucks anyway. If you're going to sound mean, you'd better be mean. Otherwise what's the point of spending money to make the car drone on at some tone that's going to give you a headache after 30 minutes on the highway? |

Silver Member Username: Killerzracing71Fredericksburg, Virginia United states Post Number: 480 Registered: Aug-05 | 40 is the loudest the deltas are prolly a little less louder...because they have more baffles in side..... An Glass u have a point....But its Nuthin Wrong with having a car that sounds good....That Doesnt Move.....My car sounds Decent..I want 2 put my 40 series on my car...to sound Good...But my car cant get out it own way.... For u i would suggest the delta 40 or 50 leaning 2word the 50's the regular 40's might be 2 much. do u like 5.0 mustang sound i thinks whut u must have heard since u talk about deepness not loud |

Silver Member Username: Killerzracing71Fredericksburg, Virginia United states Post Number: 491 Registered: Aug-05 | alright.......Havw u heard the old 85-95" 5.0 mustangs..........Basically around Virginia, ....there alot of old 5.0 mustangs running around that have a deep tone.....they arnt loud until u get on it. |

Bronze Member Username: SweatyogrePA USA Post Number: 46 Registered: Mar-06 | I'm saying f|_|ck cherry bombs and glass packs, just get some flowmasters. |
|
Silver Member Username: Jeffless600Post Number: 107 Registered: Feb-06 | Yea more of the 89-93 mustang 5.0 growl except louder. |

Bronze Member Username: Dan_the_manLondon, Ontario Canada Post Number: 83 Registered: Jun-04 | i had very good luck installing a magnaflow catback system on my 1998 z28, you should check out there website. They have sound bit you can listen to their applications. |

Bronze Member Username: SwisherMarianna, FL Post Number: 19 Registered: Apr-06 | but unless you have a badass system on your comp you cant really hear the quality in it like the real low notes it puts out |
|
Silver Member Username: Killerzracing71Fredericksburg, Virginia United states Post Number: 528 Registered: Aug-05 | just get some 40 series man.......materfact my mom has sum 40's on her volkswagen....it sounds good....better than those....dokey muflers..them kids put on there cars...never have to worry about rust either... On a v8 it will sound good no matter whut...just to be safe(not to be too loud) get some delta series...or just call flowmaster, and ask whut muffler would give the closets sound to a 5.0 mustang on a 4.6 VIC |
