Hi Pete,

When I first put my Vette together, I used 2.5 Dynomax Ultraflow mufflers.
They sounded very good and had a nice rumble without sounding tinny but at
the time were too quiet for my taste.  I ended up switching to a pair of two
chamber Flowmasters, which by the way, I getting tired of.

On the other hand, I have 3.5 in/3 out Spin Tech truck/rv mufflers on my
El Camino.  Even though these mufflers are pretty loud, I love how my Elky
sounds.

Let's say you wanted the sound of an early 60's 327 w/ factory duals.
What would you use?
To my ears Flowmaster is out.
So are glass packs.
Maybe a pair of the quiet turbo mufflers you see in Summit or Jeg's?

You know, Herb, I think you described what I'm after, 
a nice sound that I can live with in a daily driver.
--and sweetie won't object to riding in - ;)
This is a 283 and w/ 2 barrel and single exhaust and when it's time I'll go to a 
factory style dual to complement the edelbrock intake and small four barrel.
Thanks.

Why would Flowmasters be out? Try a pair of their Big Block series mufflers
for quiet running.

I can't claim I've heard every variation of Flowmaster muffler but from what I've 
heard it's not quite what I want.
Not a glass pack fan either.
My thinking is tainted by tinkering on inline sixes as there are some combinations on 
a six that are downright awful.
(dual turbos come to mind-think Cessna at take-off)
I guess I should start paying attention at cruse nights and shows and if I hear 
something I like find out what they're running.
