exhaust
« on: October 21, 2013 - 10:32:53 PM »
I know there have been numerous posts about exhaust systems on this site, I think I have decided to go with the pypes system for my 1970 cuda purely because of cost. The pypes system seems to be a couple hunge cheaper for what seems to be the same thing as TTI. I believe the muffler is largely responsible for the tone and sound of the engine. I am looking for a deep throaty sound but I don't want it to be ungodly loud either. For those of you using or know someone who uses the dynomax ultra-flow muffler on a 440 chrysler. In your OPINIONS is this muffler too loud for street use? I have listened to a lot of videos of different mufflers and like the sound of this muffler but it is really difficult to get an accurate feel for decibel levels. The po-po seem to be very lenient in my area, and don't really plan on doing a lot of deep throttle driving (so I say now) but don't want to pile up a bunch of noise violations. I plan on running mufflers only, no cats. Opinions and ideas needed.

Ray,

On my 496, I have a 3 inch system with Walker Super Turbos.  They flow great, and will probably be a tad less loud.
More of a deeper tone. They were recommended by TTI.  I had them on a 2.5 inch system as well, and they were
perfect for the street in my opinion.

I got the complete Pypes 2.5" w/street pro muffler....from what I can tell they all ship with mufflers.
  They do NOT ship with head pipes, I had to make my own connections to header/collector
The Pypes muffler sounds pretty much like the stock system...not to loud, decent tone.

I see the TTi  system does include head pipe.
