ok let me be more specific here is what i want

at idle i want the same loudness of a mustang with flowmasters(i have an e303 cam so i want to hear it)

cruise i want to hear the car but not make it way loud but loud enough you hear it comming

Wide open throttle i want to head the turbo spool and scream

[superfeak]

open downpipe will sound like flows at idle, but either way u want to use a open muffler not a chamber'd one, so at wot its gonna be loud as crap either way unless u wanna sacrifice horsepower

[ratedz]

I run a 3" downpipe into 3" y-pipe into 3" tubing back to axle and dumped. No mufflers.

[homie3186]

i wouldnt mind a soundclip of no muffler if you got one

[ARCANGL]

yea i was gonna say stay away from chambered muffs, but someone beat me too it.
Dynomax and magnaflows are popular with turbo's

My car with 3" DP 2.5" Y pipe into bullets. Wastegate problems so it clearly isnt a full pull. Sounded pretty good though, but its open DP now.

Mine was not that loud at all. It was loud enough that I thought cops would bother me, but they did not. I have a dumped 3" hooker max flow now. It is quiet, but would sound better with tails.

[homie3186]

ye it sounds way to loud i am gonna have to check it out tomarrow and make sure nothing was leakin thats why it was so loud

[ratedz]

No way I could drive mine around with the open DP - I wouldn't make it 3 blocks before the police would tow it. Far too loud.

[homie3186]

ok just makin sure it wasnt just me. i had taken off the h-pipe when the car was stock and started it with just the exhasut manifolds and it sounds just like now with open down pipe

I would like something that would give me the sleeper sound. Quite, quite quite yet still flow enough not to inhibit the turbo's efficiency too much.

I will be running the 3 inch Y-pipe and dual 3" exhaust to the muffs then 2.5" to the bumper.

2 mufflers in the stock location

[mustangless]

The areo chambers are not straight through. I don't think the turbos are either. If you are running exhaust to the bumper, then get something like hooker maxflow, magnaflows or borla xs, all should be sleeper enough. My max flow is pretty quite, and its dumped.

The results in HP order:
1.Flowtech Warlock (open) 374.2 hp/ 333.1 tq
2.Bassani Real Street 373.7 hp/ 333.8 tq
3.Hooker Maxflow 373.5 hp/ 333 tq
4.Borla XS 373.3 hp/ 332.6 tq
5.Magnaflow 372.8 / 332.5 tq
6.MAC 372.3 hp / 331.5 tq
7.Flowtech Afterburner 372.3 hp/ 330.1 tq
8.Hooker Aerochamber 372.1 hp/ 330.4 tq
9.Bassani 372 hp/ 333.5 tq
10.Spintech 371.6 hp/ 332.2 tq
11.Edelbrock Performer RPM 370.9 hp / 331.3 tq
12.Borla XR1 370 hp/ 334 tq
13.Flowtech Terminator 369.5 hp / 331.3 tq
14.Dynomax Ultra Flo 369.4 / 333.2 tq
15.Flowmaster 369.4 hp / 331.8 tq
16.Flowtech Warlock 366.3 hp / 325.3 tq
17.No muffs 365.2 hp / 330.1 tq

Great table for comparison. I would like to know what was used as a test mule. I'm sure the number would vary quite a bit between a NA and turbo car.

I'm leaning toward the Borlas after that video. Just wonderin what they sound like under WOT. Only down side is the damn price. But i guess if they are the best and never wearout then it will be worth it when you consider the price to replace other muffs if they wear out not to mention the time or paying a muffler shop.

The Dyno Max Turbos aren't straight through but they have internal directional tubes that decrease the turbulence when the exh gas has to do a u turn. You get 3 times the baffle surface of a straight through. But they are aluminized and not SS. I think I'll just saveup untill I can afford $130 muffs Ouch! :-(
