What Type Of Muffler Should You Go With When Upgrading Your Exhaust?

This PowerNation Extra gives you a look at the different kinds of aftermarket mufflers available when you want to upgrade your exhaust system. Marc from Detroit Muscle lays out the three main types: glasspack, chamber, and turbo. The glasspack is the original high performance muffler. However, chamber and turbo aren't bad options either depending on what you're going for.

Yep...had glass packs on my 72 Chevelle. My Dad said..I can hear you coming home from work miles away, back in the day.
How true...LOL

[stevemiller]

Well, that told me absolutely nothing....

[risingstar]

My favorite all around setup so far has been a glass pack with a turbo muffler behind it

I like chambered. If I really needed quiet, I'd use a U-turn "turbo" style or multiple chambered mufflers, or a multi-chamber muffler. Loud mode? Cherry Bomb M80.

I'm thinking putting a rumble exhaust on a Dodge Dakota hope it don't sound like crap

[alienbroski]

i have a 2018 ford transit connect( I know...) what system would you guys recomend? We will put a turbo on the existing engine also and rebuild the engine what should i buy?>

Use the glass pack for the tail pipe off of your muffler of choice...

Dynomax Race Bullets and never look back. That or Spintech are my favorite sounding mufflers

[FiftyOverland]

What muffler was that last one? The black one.

Back in the 70’s growing up in Pittsburgh, my father had a 1969 Buick Electra 225. He had put dual exhaust on it with a pair of 57 T-Bird resonator’s for mufflers. Man It sounded sweet.
I moved away to Maryland in 1976 and while I was gone he had put a pair of Cherry Bombs on it. OMG you want to talk about Loud !!! That big ole 430 in it really came to life but was obnoxiously loud. Even with the windows up.
But by 1978 the salt from on the roads in the winter time took a toll on the frame and it rotted out back at the rear of the rear wheel arch and he had to junk it. There was no such thing as fixing a frame back then.

Are the magnaflow and flowfx considered glasspacks? They have that same style but use steel whool i think for muffling.

HAs the channel ever did a dual exhaust versus single challenge/test?
i just got a 84 cutlass with horrible sounding dual 2" exhaust with red glasspack bottles and wondering if it would sound better as in more rumbly with one single 3" which will also flow better since one 3" pipe is about 7 sq cm versus 2 x2" =6.28 sq cm?
or can that smaller 2" dual setup scavenge better and keep low end TQ versus a big single which may gain high rpm hp but sacrifice about the same amt of low/mid range TQ

to make the question even harder, im currently running the stock 305 SBC but already bought a used 2003 5.3L LS which will double the stock 305hp [nevermind all the ponies that escaped that 305 barn in last 37 yrs, lol. ]
SO i dont wanna spend any more than neccessary on this dual system if im gonna upgrade to a bigger dual or bigger single exhaust for the LS motor in near future

[discoverfarhan]

I drive an auto transmission. Which suits my car? S-flow or straight flow?

[reneguay]

What does a flo-pro max muffler sound like

[saintnificent]

What muffler can I put on my 4.3l V6 that Doesn't make it sound like boat motor at 3k+ rpms?

[CBiskitone]

I know my vehicle isn't exactly the normal for you guys, but I have a 1992 Nissan D21 truck. It's a 4 banger with a 5 speed. I have a Pace Setter header that came with it. Could you please recommend a muffler for it please? I'm very lost when it comes to this.

[MagaRickn]

Interesting, but I was hoping for a little more tech data.

[tonygruber]

Which one provides the better Power increase over stock? Glasspack?

[davidross-oovh]

I wouldn't use the eardrum busting glass packs

[jasonelli]

Guys. Do you ever heard about auto transmission need to use s flow exhaust rather then straight flow because auto transmission need more back pressure?
