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.

RE: Re: [Chevelle-list] Favorite Muffler System?
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? Pete Geurds Douglassville, PA
Re: [Chevelle-list] Favorite Muffler System?
That's right Dan ! I certainly do have
FLOWMASTERS under my 70' SS. I wasn't offended,didn't mean it to sound that
way,,,I'm used to teasing my mother about the hillbilly thang,,no harm
intended.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Favorite Muffler System?
Just a thought on mufflers... In my distant youth, glass packs were all the rage. To my ear, the Super Turbos on my C3 Vette have more the glass pack kind of sound than the Flowmasters -- sort of warm and snappy. Flowmasters sound great, but they have a colder, more hollow sound than the STs. More "high-tech," if you will. That said, Flowmasters on F*rd engines sound different to me than Flowmasters on Chebbies. Could this be because of the different firing order?

Re: [Chevelle-list] Favorite Muffler System?
I have Dynomax on my ElCamino and they get better sounding the longer I have them. It's a deep throaty sound. People seem to like it, I get compliaments on it. They have been on her for 8 yrs now. No problems. 2 1/2 in. aluminum pipe. Bob 71 ElCamino
RE: [Chevelle-list] Favorite Muffler System?
I have a Flowmaster 17120 system on my El Camino, and like it. I haven't had a chance to do any side-by-side comparisons though because the car is not on the road yet. I have the original 50 series mufflers (not the Delta Flows), which are not as loud as the 30s.

He is definitly not looking for "loud"!

RE: [Chevelle-list] Favorite Muffler System?
Flowmaster makes a nice kit for A bodies with 2.5 inch pipes and Flowmaster 30s. The sound is not quiet if that is what you are looking for. It has a throaty idle and gets loud above 4000 RPM. Got mine on Summit Racing for about $400 total. Best practice is to "match" the pipe size with the volumetric efficiency of the engine.
