exhaust sound clips

[Foreman72]

if this has already been posted, i apologize...but i was wondering if i could get some sound clips/videos from you guys who have SBs and are running either flowmaster 40's or dynomax ultra flows...i can't decide which to get and i think getting some baseline sounds/thoughts on these mufflers would be great...thanks so much

[mikepmcs]

Comparing Ultra Flows to Flowbastard 40's is a world apart.  I think dynomax super turbos is where you would want to be.  The super turbo would give you a higher flow then flowcrapster and still have the aggressive sound you are looking for.  What size exhaust do you plan on?
For example I have 3in/out ultra flows on my chevy 8.1  The sound is not where I would like it to be(ie: I want more aggressive/louder)  ultraflows are too free flowing for my particular application,IMO. 
I am about to get 2 dynomax super turbos and stuff them on the truck.
I am also about to start a thread asking for advice/opinions on my Challenger exhaust I'm about to chop up. I was gonna buy a canned catback system for that but I think I will achieve what I want by taking out the suitcase and replacing it with 2 quality mufflers and removing the rear resonators at the tune of about $500 dollars cheaper.

Check out the dynomax site and look at the graphs comparing flow rates.  (flowflapster 40's are at 300cfm while Dyno ST's are at over 400, ultraflows are at over 1000CFM   I would think that unless you have a built built smallblock you would need the extra bit of baffle to retain some power on take off.  http://www.dynomax.com/products/ultrafloss.html

We need some more feedback from the gods on this. 

I'd also like to get some more info on Jones exhaust products if anyone has any input.  http://www.flatlanderracing.com/fullboar_vtube.html
I'm still learning big time so I'm just throwing some stuff out there that makes sense in my head.  Hopefully I will be corrected if I'm leading us down the wrong path.

WWRWD?

I went with Corsa's on my 08 Challenger. I'll let you know what I think in a week or two when I get them installed.

[mikepmcs]

Well, I want noise and I want loud.  Corsa is just not it for me.  Great product, great company, just too restrictive sounding for me, flutter etc...
I am really leaning towards stuffing 2 dynomax supers on there, just to document it and post it up. As far as I can tell, it will be a first to be posted up as I cannot find a Chally with dynomax on it and no resonators.
I can however find one on this jones full boar which I found out is flowblapster knockoff but with claims of higher flow.  I really want to use dynomax and I want it to be the ticket.  That's it, I've decided, dynomax super turbos and then clean pipes to the tips.   
I'll get the jones full boar and stuff em on my truck at the same time.  Summit, here I come.  

Here's the jones write up on the Chally install.  They went with 2.5's....wonder what 3"s will do   Any input on that???

I'm running the $22.00 Summit turbo's on my 318.
They have a nice low rumble at idle and really wake up when I'm on it, also there's no drone in the car but I have something similar to Dynomat under my carpet.
Just something to consider.

Dang , nice burnout.
Sounds good too.  I thought when you were backing up, the edges of the film was the garage door frame...I was like nooooo.....

i beg to differ on the flowmasters, i love them, and they sound great. if you want performance and awesome soudn they cant be beat.

here is my 383 on 3 inch 40 series. these are the old school 40's not hte new ones with delta flow and whatever the other ones are called.

dont make fun of this one- its on the 2.76's with a tranny that wont shift unless you let off the throttle...... looking for a 4 speed conversion if you have one up for grabs....  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2j2qd2Deok&feature=channel_page

well let me see if I can load up a video of my 'sound system'. It has the FM 40's mufflers but I have manifolds and a less then 2.5'' pipes. So with headers and 2.5'' it'll sound much throatier I guess
I had badly worn out glasspacks one time and I still wich sometimes I still had that sound

Flowmasters are not a performance muffler, they are very restrictive and rob top end power....not to mention that annoying "tin can" Mustang sound.   

Sure way to slow your car down and drive yourself crazy with the dreaded "drone" is to add a set of FlowBastards

Mike, Flowbastards, Flowcrapster, Flowflapster, Flowblaster,  made me laugh 

[mikepmcs]

   I was giggling when i was typing too.

Well, I did it and the mufflers(all 4) should be here today.  I got 2 Jones Full boar 3" for my 8.1(chevy dually) and 2 Dynomax.......ULTRA FLO for my Challenger.  As I was researching for the Chally cans I kept thinking WWRWD?I had Ron on my shoulder when I was on the phone and just new the ultra flo was the right choice over the Super Turbo.  I don't want to lose performance, considering I'm spending a buttload of money on mods, just to let the exhaust cost me HP.

I went to this Al Certified Auto Repair here in Augusta and told him exactly what I was doing.  Not too many stellar anything here in Maine.  Most everything you have done is a hack job of some sort.  So I told him I could easily put the mufflers on my truck myself but I was willing to let him do it to see the quality of his work.  He didn't throw me out at that point, so I continued to say.....If I like what you do to the truck(pointing outside to my Challenger) then you will be getting that one next to do a custom install and I went on to say that I will need to watch everything and photograph and document the whole thing for the website.  He seemed very confident and said they are very particular when they do an exhaust.  He said no problem on the documentation and that he would even take the pictures for me if I wanted.  Nope I'll be right there during the whole thing.  Also, he said he wouldn' touch the Challenger until he got it up in the air and we both went over exactly what I wanted.  We'll see what happens.  My appointment is friday at noon for the truck.  Very simple, chop off old muff's weld on 2 new ones.  What I want to see is the attention to detail on the welding and also I want to see if they touch up a couple other places on the exhaust that I know need a couple more tacks.
As far as the Challenger goes I have exactly 163.90 in the exhaust system right now.  I'm trying to prove that with parts and labor you can get a complete cat back for less than half of what these off the shelfs are costing and still get the performance and sound you are looking for.  I will accomplish the sound portion by getting rid of the two elephant balls attached to the exhaust under the rear quarters, that way about 30 pounds.

[mikepmcs]

ok, here we go, tomorrow is the day for the 8.1 guinea pig install at the local custom shop in Augusta. 
Here's the pics of the 2 mufflers side by side comparison.  No mistaking the Ultra Flo.
Jones full boar 3" offset in center out.  Not bad for a $40 muffler. It's welded all the way around, that surprised me.  These will be put on my truck tomorrow at noon. I will have to go back to work so I won't get to see that install.  I already knew that though and not concerned.  Like I said the reason I'm doing this one is to check the quality of the work and to see if they tighten(tacks here and there) the exhaust up on their own without me telling them to.  I also want to see what these sound like. Not performance minded on this install.

[mikepmcs]

Dynomax UF is a little larger as you can see.

Top pic is the jones and the bottom is the UF

Foreman I really hijacked your thread.  If you want me to, I can move everything to a new thread but I think it's kind of relevant to see the difference between these two styles of mufflers.

no worries dude...just as long as you post some kinda sound clip

[mikepmcs]

there you go, posted some up above

dynomax super turbos

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5OPaPM2_4k

[Foreman72]

so it appears that from what people have said i should pick up the super turbos...just for anyone jumping in, i will have a solidly built 318 with a 2.5" H pipe exhaust and i'm trying to decide what to get for mufflers...

now how does this breakdown go...super turbo=quieter
                                               ultra flow=louder
                                               flowmaster=loudest borderline annoying

is that correct?

here's what i'm really looking for, i want something aggressive and mean @ idle & launch but also not too loud while cruising...plus i'll have dynomat of the like on the floors...thats what i'm aiming for...

i mean the tone on this clip sounds pretty darn awesome ...http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/40_orig.html

[mikepmcs]

I'll counter with the dynomax sound.  Don't forget better performance because of better flo.

[FLG]

Mind you it would sound better if i had a larger exhaust diameter (only 2in). But i think its good enough for now.

BTW its a stock tired 400

Ill see if i can get an idle video.

and that is what I decided to put on my Challenger, Ultra Flos.  WOOT! WOOT!

I put super turbos because i was trying to give you an option besides slocrapster
