Muffler choice

[codyyy]

My Dynomax catback exhaust doesn't fit quite right. The muffler is a 2.5" muffler so that might be why. I'm thinking about buying a new muffler but don't have the funds for a really good one like the Flowmaster. What mufflers would sound better than stock but not too much money? What about a glasspack? Thanks.

CherryBomb glasspack, i think i got mine for about 25-30$. Iv had a 40 series, but a little to deep sounding for me.

Does that Cherry Bomb glasspack sound good? I could just reuse my Dynomax but I'd rather just get the right muffler instead of trying to adapt that one to fit.

go buy an adapter piece. Advance auto sells them for about 5 bucks each. Glass packs are loud and i think they sound sub par. The dynomax has a great tone and you will be much happier with it. You can always just get a dynomax superturbo series if you want to go with a whole new setup, they sound great.

Another option is to use the new muffler thrush has out. It is a rip off of a flowmaster, fully welded and all. A buddy just threw one on his grand and they sound great.

What muffler is the one Thrush has? I was thinking about going with that, I just want something to sound kinda like my Dynomax or even a Flowmaster 40 at the most.

 

[wolfpackjeeper]

there are two, one is still the crappy old style, but they just came out with a new fully welded flowmaster style one. They are on sale this month at advance auto like 10 bucks off or something.

If i remeber right Thrush is made by Flowmaster.

Anybody use a Flowpro muffler? I was suggested one, apparently its a Flowmaster 40 knockoff.

 

[wolfpackjeeper]

i thought it was a dynomax house brand

Save up and get a spintech pro street series. Slighty more $$$ but way worth it. Makes your jeep sound throaty and nasty at all RPM

Heard of them, but would rather give my money to the company that actually designed the muffler than somebody who jumped on the band wagon aftger the patent ran out.

thrush makes a welded dual chamber muffler now that's dirt cheap. i think my old stores cost was 17 bucks each on them and we sold them for 32.

I like Borla, and really like their ST model which is basically a glorified glass pipe

I like the sleek small profile, which should allow me to stick it up next to the frame rail where it won't get torn off

I am about to get one of the new thrush mufflers. Just like a 2 chamber flow and it sounds even better. A friend just put that on a grand

 

[ROBZ95Xj]

got a dynomax thrush 2 chamber on my 5.0 F150, got it for 30+shipping from summit, sounds good, but not as good as a flowmaster, and the quality isnt as great as a flowmaster either, good muffler for the price, but i still like flowmasters better

Go to Oreallys and get one of their Afterburner mufflers. Good beefy. Same thing as a flomaster 40 at 1/2 the price. Will still need an adapter though. The mufflers is a bit shorter than oem.

i got a flowmaster 40 on my MJ...sounds nice at idle and driving
got a gibson on my XJ and its nice at idle and little quieter when driving

 

[dudemycar]

I've got the Cherrybomb one that came with the Rusty's kit. A nice, sporty rumble at idle, and quieter on the freeway... but it sounds money at about ~3500-4000RPM

 

[h2opete987]

nabbed a basic cheerybomb for $20. at idle its got a nice throaty rumble.
at 1500-2000rpm (highway speeds for me) just a slight drone, and right around 2500-3000 (downshift/WOT) it lets loose a raw growl.

Ruuning a Borla system on my 87 XJ....

Nice and mellow at idle, than louder as more throttle is applied...
