Let's talk about mufflers

[woody]

I like my $20.00 Walker OEM replacement from Auto Zone...quiet and cheap enough for me not to :bawl: when it gets torn off...

My 1st one lasted 2 seasons under the MJ and 1/2 season under the XJ... It died a glorious death on Daniel Trail in Uwharrie.

For truly effective noise-abatement...I use Iron Maiden or Pantera on the discman headphones :viking:

"The "turbo" muffler idea is great....My personal preference has always been with the Walker Exhaust O.E.M. replacement for a '68 corvair turbo. Real nice deep sound, but not too loud...
And not too expensive. offset 2.5" connections."

The Muffler Shootout:

Dynomax is owned by Walker..... so Dynomax Super Turbo is the hi-po equivalent for an original Covair Turbo. Walker OEM P/N cross-references to the Dynomax. I owned a Corvair Spyder---the original OEM sounds good and quiet on an opposed-six with a Rajay turbo---but flow rates have improved since '64.

I've had both Flowmaster and Dynomax on my '91XJ...... w/2.5" converter all the way out the back.

2.5" Flowmaster sounds good and throaty.... also resonates the same through the interior. Within two years you will need a hearing aid.

2.5" Dynomax Super Turbo also sounds good and throaty.... spares you of the ongoing trauma and hearing impairment you get with a Flowmaster.

3.5" Hooker Aero Chambers also sound good and throaty on my 562ci Hemi..... according to the tests, they're rated to flow better and make more HP/torque than all the above.

2.5" Spintech sounds funky on a Chevy Small Block..... can't imagine what they would do to a Mopar.

RESULTS:
The Dynomax Super Turbo (Walker) is a proven choice for my XJ. I would like to hear the Hooker Aero on the 4.0L HO. Maybe it offers the best of both worlds.

What in the heck is that?

I believe they are just plugs. When you install those you should have no noise unless your muffler is so weak it gets blown out.

Anyone have a potato ?

On the other hand, they may be something to effectively silence it in the way a Supertrapp exhaust works in which case I may want more info, let me know if this is the case.

I don't know about the strength, but how about a magnaflow. My brothers wifes cherokee had one and it is not loud at all until you punch it and then it just sounds mean!!!!!!! I would buy one, but I can't justify getting rid of my flowmaster for one right now when I need to many other things. Oh well.--------Kyle

I saw these a while ago while looking through Jeg's catolauge. http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=29720&prmenbr=361 I wonder how well it would work.

'Nuff said....

Anybody run this dynomax bullet by any chance?
They sound awesome on v-8s, I wonder on a inline 6?

It's a pipe plug. I did a quick search looking for a potato in the tail pipe picture, but ran out of time.

If you ran your exhaust straight out the back you could use it as a Beezil defense weapon.
