    Muffler reccomendations

    Either this paycheck or next, I'm putting duals on the Vic. For now, I'm going with a factory style h-pipe and stock tails. I've decided I don't want an obnoxiously loud car. I want a rumble(not drone) at idle, and it can roar on acceleration. So Flowmaster 40s are out, as well as the Terminator mufflers I was looking at. I'm not going to get glasspacks either. When I do this, I'm also going to cut the cats. Reccomendations?

    Flowmaster Delta's. They are quiet at idle and get loud when you get on it.

      It's going to be tough to get a rumble at idle, yet not a drone driving down the road. I got glasspacks and gutted cats on my '82 and it has a nice sound at idle, but it is still no rumble due to the stock engine. I have the drone (which I happen to like) driving down the the interstate, but not really much sound at 55mph with 3.08's. Get you some "Royal Scott" mufflers. They look like glasspacks, but have a baffle in them. They give a some sound at idle, but no drone on the highway, yet sound when accelerating. Not loud and won't get you a sound ordinance ticket.

      The DeltaFlow Flowmasters might suite you as well.

        The stock cam in the 302 engine will not make it drone or loud at idle. Even with straightpipes on them there is only a little exhaust noise. An HO cam, on the other hand, has a drone idle just above 800 RPM or so.

          I like the drone.

          However, I have glasspacks + H-pipe on that ol' CFI converted to 4bbl motor on my merk with sidepipes, and I never really had a "drone".

              :stupid:

              They are great. Cheap, sound good on acceleration, little note at idle, and not much cruising.

                Ive got an off road H-pipe with some $15 summit super turbos and even at full throttle its still quiet. Drone is pretty much non-existent though. If I werent so cheap Id go for a set of dynomax bullet mufflers, I have a few sound clips from mustangs if you guys would like to hear them.

                  Man, are all us panther owners on the east coast?? Anyway, i've got mustang shorties, off road h pipe, and flowmasters turning down b4 the axle. I unfortunately don't have anything installed yet, since I just started this project a week ago. Everything is sitting on my shed floor mocked up and looking real pretty. The only things I paid a lot of money for were the flowmasters (65.00+shipping), and off road h pipe (120.00 total). This is a pretty cheap and easy way to open up the exhaust and get a better sound. If I can find out what to use to get a 2 1/2" pipe over the axle then I'll have my full exhaust, till then that's it. Stupid bills.....

                    96 Impalla SS tail pipes are available in 2-1/2" and will fit very nicely over the axles.
