vntned · **quiet muffler?**

Got my GLH HO running again w/ the hedder cam and all. The exhaust I put on it is from my old GLH HO that had a cat. My new one doesnt so its to freakin loud! Any ideas for a quiet inexpensive muffler that flows good?

I like my DynoMax Race Bullet. It has a 3" inlet and outlet and costs about $40 from Summit. It doesn't sound much louder in the cabin at cruising speeds than the stock exhaust.

For N/A applications a the race bullet will be very loud. Turbochargers act as a muffling device. In this application a super turbo type muffler should quiet it down. Also, running the exhaust all the way to the rear of the car will help alot.

The exhaust is all the way out the back with a longtube hedder 2.25'' glassspack and a ricer can I had laying around. Its pretty much a straight thru exhaust! Id actually like to get an OE muffler for a GLH but I dont think Ill ever find one!

WLKIVETT, you werent at the show last Saturday were you?

Whoops, didn't realize he was N/A.

Magnaflow can be quiet if you keep the glasspack, will act as a resonator. Flowmaster also, if you get the SUV series or the Hushpower unit. Edelbrock muffler, Hooker Aerochamber also.

Vnted, I did not have my 87 CSX in the show, but have in the past, but I did drop by the TD's for a few moments. I couldn't stay long as I had a birthday party to attend. You must have had the N/A GLH, I really dig the old school N/A cars.

I need to get back on the local mailing list as I've been off it now for a couple years.

Yep that was my GLH. I just got the engine back in it the thursday before the show! Most of these TD guys now have no respect for the first shelby cars! Even though my GLH isnt near as fast as my slightly modded CSX it is a blast to drive! I actually like driving it better than my CSX. Carrol Shelby was on to something when he first started with these cars! Id challenge in non turbo 4cylinder '80s car and would put big money on me winning!
Ive actually found a muffler for it! Dynamax sells a super turbo the exact dimensions of the stock muffler and its just over $40!
I actually intended on bringing my CSX to the show but am having problems getting a title! Hope you can bring your CSX next year, I should have mine there!

I've got a 2.25 inch super turbo on my 318 powered Dakota. It's slightly rumblyer (is that a word) than the stock exhaust. So it sould quiet your GLH way down. I was ordering parts from Jegs and needed only 5 dollars more to get free shipping. I believe it ended up costing me only 15 bucks after getting the free shipping.

Super turbo on an N/A car 4 banger can be quite loud.

WLKIVETT · 09-21-2006, 12:58 PM

A super turbo dumped under the car will be very noisy. In my truck when I first hung the Super turbo I did without a tail pipe just a turn down. The resonation in the cab was severe, drove that way for a few weeks. It got very tiresome but once I installed the factory tail pipe out the rear it was barley louder than stock. That's way I asked if he was running to the rear in my first post. The muffler and routing both contribute to the noise level in the car.

I've got a Walker SoundFX on my 3.0 V6 that I really like, several reasons, i) it's quiet at idle and low revs but under acceleration it has a gratifyingly bass snarly note, which however settles down under constant throttle and isn't annoying on the highway. ii) it was cheap, $5 more than a generic rustmagnet. iii) it's holding up real real well, I was having mufflers rotting out every year, this one has 3 winters on it and still looks great. iv) the butt dyno told me it added an extra pony, or maybe just helped get the ones it had all run in the same direction, and I seemed to pick up a couple of mpg if I stay out of the throttle.

So to sum up, nice sound, not ricer bumblebee, cheap, durable, appears to flow quite well.
