anyone know of any "quiet" mufflers that still allow decent flow? i want quiet inside and maybe a little mellow rumble outside, but quieter than the flow 80 or the dynomax.
are there some oem replacements that flow better than stock?

I heard Magna Flow is ricey. Isn't B&B kind of mellow, but they show about the most gains. If I remember correctly, someone said it was a gain of like around 14 HP at the flywheel. I have the Borla rear section, not the adjustable, and it's just how you described. I have headers and 3 inches all the way back. It's probably something you'd be happy with. I had a Flowmaster before the Borla, the Flow was wayyyy louder. It wasn't a good loud though, it was just loud and kind of deep, not like a honda but not mean like an LS1. Anyway, with the Borla I felt a little HP come back, so you might want to think about the Borla. It's also a bit cheaper then the B&B.

:rolleyes: Flowmaster makes more than one muffler... Check out their website, it has the sound level "rankings" for all of them, both inside and outside.
50 Series is supposed to be quieter, so is 70 and 30 Series.

How about a Flowpro muffler? Much less aggressive than the flowmaster, but still louder & less restrictive than stock. It was the first muffler i had, & i bought it for the reasons you describe above strange. But then the modd bug struck, & i wanted a louder exhaust, so i give it to one of my v6 peps. Check w/ some local muffler people, i'm sure they've heard of it, if not carry themselves. I think you would be happy w/ it.

I would recommend the Dynomax Super Turbo muffler. We just put it on my fiance's 305, and much to our surprise it wasn't very loud at all. It sounds really good, but not much louder. It definitely flows better though...with that and a dynomax cat she chirps in second with ease.

hey strange, try a spintech. go to their website www.spintech.com or something like that. their motto is "quiet the noise and keep the thunder" or whatever. basicly means it cancels out the harsh resonances and has a good clean sound. i went from a edelbrock which is good but it is loud and harsh at high rpm's. the spintech actually swirls the exhaust to make a natural venturi effect. the sound on my car( full exhaust)is deep as hell at idle and when cruising the car has a wicked burbling, rumble. you can barely tell it's a six. at high rpm's it doesn't scream like a edelbrock, more like a deep hum. the quality is outstanding and it is not cheap @$130, but you'll never have to buy another muffler again. i have heard all of the systems except gmmg on our cars and it is definently the best muffler out there,imo.
also, i want to add, when cruising along at low rpm's and low load and you barely got your foot on it, it makes almost no noise at all. no droning. droning's bad mmmmmkay! ;)
