Flowmasters too LOUDDDD..& Cuda Duals...
pastortom1 said
Hey guys....... I have a '72 Demon with a small block and full dual flowmasters dumping out the back.......3.55 Posi, so it winds a bit in 3rd gear.......when you're cruisin, it's just plain TOO LOUD.........What mufflers would I weld in to tone it down for real driving comfort, but still have a nice sounding (more like stock, but nice) Mopar?
AND.......... My '67 Cuda up in NY is in desperate need of a set of duals......I'd like to weld it up myself, but can't locate any "downpipes" that will work with the stock manifolds and donuts........Don't want headers...... want it with the manifolds............it's a survivor, and I just want it to breathe better and "sound off" nicely for it's later years of cruisin. Any help finding some downpipes?.....I can make some if I have to, BUT if they're out there, it would save a whole lot of time and monkeying..........1967 -273 with P/S and auto.........
Any help appreciated.
Measure the 273 Manifold pipes, they are likely 1 7/8" so you will need to space them up to 2.25".
Midas in Albany did a nice job for me, but, it was not as cheap as homemade,
by a long shot.
I am using Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers under my Valiant, and the interior resonance was annoying to my G/F; I added sound deadenrr under the carpet, and especially under the rear seat. From the factory there was NO
padding/carpet of any kind under the rear seat.
For a cheap and decent sounding muffler, try Thrush Turbo,
$19.99 each at Advance Auto parts/Parts America; I just put one under my
beater work Van, to replace a too loud Flowmaster copy,
it still sounds nice, but not as annoying.
The local Advance Auto has the Thrush Turbo mufflers in the back room.
Maremont makes a nice Turbo muffler too;
Maremont 16804 MAR TURBO II MUFFLER, Our Price: $24.99

Well, after checking out that article, I think I'll be running with the RAAM Audio stuff. It appears to be the best bang for the buck.

I think I am also going to use their Ensolite padding instead of jute when I do the carpeting.
