Quiet exhaust

[andyr354]

A baffle appears to have come loose in my current muffler and it is restricting the flow.

Any recommendations besides just going to the local carquest and getting a stock replacement muffler?

I have listened to clips of several flowmasters. 40s way to loud, 50 DF still sounds pretty loud in the clips.

I put a dynomax system on a 93 ZJ I had and it was really annoyingly loud but it didn't have a cat on it either so that could have affected it some.

What else is out there for a decent price? Or is a 50DF really not that bad?

This is my DD XJ and I don't want to have to listen to it driving down the highway.

Stick with factory style exhaust it's quiet and flow is pretty good.

Factory style mufflers are pretty cheap.

Otherwise, Gibson has a nice tone and isn't too loud.

I have dynomax 2.5". Strong tone, not loud. Now have headers and sounds better. I found cat back for little over $100

I have the Magnaflow Catback and highflow cat w/a Banks header and it has a nice rumble when I get on it and at intial take off but at highway speeds it is quieter than stock.
So my vote goes w/Magnaflow.:shhh:

BTW. My exhaust was in very good shape when I took of, no holes or anything like that.

If you thought your DynoMax was loud I would stick with stock exhaust.

Yeah I read that you didn't have a cat, I figured most people have a cat therefore I thought it was a very quiet exhaust system. Some people didn't even know I had exhaust that rode with me when I had the DynoMax, I took it out and bought a 40 Series Flowmaster which is falling apart after 3 years. The muffler is getting little cracks where they welded the baffles inside, never seen that before. Any ways it's all personal preference, not sure what else is quieter than a Dynomax besides a stock type muffler. Maybe Magnaflow, like Rypla said.

The dynomax I had came in the cat back kit I bought from summit. You could hear me a mile away if I was on the gas. very very raspy and loud.

the cat fell apart inside so I just pulled it. I haven't taken my current system apart yet to inspect it so for all I know that could be my current problem as well. The guts of the cat plugged the muffler.

I have a flowtech afterburner on my offroad XJ with no cat. It actually sounds pretty good, just a mellow sound with no raspyness to it. That muffler is tough as nails to, have used it as a skid for a few years and it just has some small dents in it. $40 VS double that for a flowmaster.
Maybe with a cat still in the system I would like it on my DD rig.

You can fit a flowmaster 70 on it. Thats what I did because th 40\50 was too loud for my tastes.. Sounds nice. Improved over stock and tough.

I have the Flowmaster 70 on mine as well. Use a 2 1/4" tailpipe to avoid droning, other than that it's nice.

I have a magnaflow of some sort and it sounds like an angry chainsaw, I hate it.

I have the borla pro xs stainless on mine and i love it. It is very quiet like i like but sounds great when your in the throttle.

I've had both a 40 and 50 series on mine and I noticed no difference between them. The 50 may have a slightly different tone but it is just as loud. I would go back to stock. I'm stock without a cat and it's just about right, just a touch too loud. I think if I had a high flow cat and stock system I would be tickled.

Yours must be broken, because I too have a Magnaflow "Of some sort" On my ThumperXJ, and it sounds kick ass, AND its waaayyy quieter than the Noisemaster that I bought it with.
