Default Muffler advice on BB

My current setup on my BB has headers with 2 1/2 pipes back to a set of V-Force mufflers. I have been told they are like a Flowmaster 40 series. I love the sound but they are very loud. Has anyone tried Magnaflow or Dynomax turbo mufflers? Still want to have a strong sound but not so nasty sounding. I would like to keep my neighbors as friends!

I had Dynomax Spiral turbo's on my C4 and LOVED them. Agressive at idle, no drone like the Flowmasters, and at WOT they really talked back to ya.

Borla 19" case, 2.5" in/out here. Good sound, not too loud.

I just replaced my 10 year old 3 inch dynomark super turbo's with a new set because I felt the insides of the old ones were getting burned out.
I think they are a nice sounding muffler without the drone at low speeds. Being 3 inch they are naturally a little louder but I don't know anything quieter in 3 inch.
The 2.5 inch should be alot quieter. I like them.

Very loud for who? The neighbors or you?
Headers directly to headermufflers and lose the complete dead weight exhaust system. Too loud? Who cares? You aren't driving a Cadillac!

Ratman,
I bought a pair of Dynomax Super Turbo muffs. They are one of the quieter high performance mufflers out there. I wanted to have my Vette sound good but still sound fairly quiet. The original system I took off was station wagon quiet with the cat and all but too restrictive. You would probably like them.

I have another car to drive when I want to "make some noise".

-Mark.

Default Mufflers on a big block

I like the Dynomax mifflers I put on my '73 454. Great sound!
