Contemplating new exhaust
Hey everybody! Back in October I got a whole new exhaust from the manifolds back. I have no cats and 2.5 inch pipe, and also have a Magnaflow muffler. Now months later, I want a different one, it's not loud or aggressive enough as what I'd like. I've searched around and found a couple mufflers I thought would sound good. I like the Cherry Bomb Extreme and Vortex. Does anybody run any of these? Any thoughts and opinions are appreciated!

Damnit. I have a Flowmaster 80 and really want something a little more subtle compared to the rumble and roar that's currently there.
Wish you lived closer. :-)

Re: Contemplating new exhaust
how much $ can you spend? If you have some money to play with gmmg. Or build your own gmmg with parts from summit search under power sticks. If your on a budget I'd go hooker aero chamber. Both systems are great.

Well the Magnaflow is way to quiet. I'm looking for something more loud and aggressive.

Re: Contemplating new exhaust
Hey man I had the same problem you had....Honestly look into a Flowmaster 40 seires muffler....only downfall is that its a single inlet and single outlet muffler but it has a deep idle and an aggressive takeoff...I recommend it...I was gona go with a flowmaster 10 but then decided to go with the 40 because heard that the 10 had a lot of interior noise.

Re: Contemplating new exhaust
I've gotten several compliments on my Thrush V-Force, It's not as loud as flowmaster super 40's, but I can't hear my radio on the highway, system is a 3" single catback, stock manifolds. It does have a REALLY nice roar when you get on it at about 3k and up.

Re: Contemplating new exhaust
Ive seen some of the trush muffler on our cars and personally I am not to big of a fan of them just b/c they do on sound as aggressive as I want them to sound but thats just my opinion. If this guy wants something aggressive sounding and loud, I say go with 40...If he wants eve louder ide even say go with a flowaster 10 (single chamber)

Re: Contemplating new exhaust
just take the muffler off and route a piece of pipe with a turndown if you want loud and aggressive.
i would stay away from the hooker aerochamber if you want loud, i have one on my car, it sounds great, but its not super loud.
if you don't wan't full on destroyer straight pipes, try a dynomax bullet, it will be a lot cheaper than the other options and give you a loud deep tone.
