Suggestions for a "Performance" muffler that isn't too loud

[Newport Woerden]

My Newport has these MagnaFlows and is still making way too much noise…
In two weeks I will install other mufflers and will let you know how that turned out

For the 2 1/2" TTI exhaust, yes it is a direct fit.

Did your Caddy mufflers neck down to a 1.5" baffle? I was looking at reviews on Summit racing site, and a buyer was not happy with finding that the muffler inlet decreased in size.

No, they didn't neck down like that.

The original-style hemi mufflers are great for both worlds, quiet and flow well. I've used these guys several times, even for complete systems, never any complaints, highly recommended.

B-Body Mufflers -(see option box below)

I am looking for suggestions for my 79 300 exhaust system to reduce the sound and vibration my current "Flow Through" system is causing. As many of you know my wife suffers from a debiltating nerve injury to her leg that reacts terribly to loud noises or vibration which has prevented her from going for a ride with me. She can tell when a train is 10 miles away just from the vibrations in our house. I do want something that will sing the song of our people when I step on it but is quiet at idle and under highway cruise. No drone etc. Flowmasters? Magnaflow? What have you used that didn't shake the windows but sounds good under full throttle?

I have a pair of Walker Quiet Flow stainless steel mufflers on my Fury and have not noticed any drone. My neighbor says the car sounds great. Idle sound is good too. They weren't expensive either.

I use the Maremont Turbo the one about 36" long with 3" in and out core is about 30" iF you have the room
otherwise use dual Imperial mufflers

Thanks for sharing your experience. Just to confirm, as you mentioned getting new mufflers, you removed the x pipe and went "true duals" with the same mufflers and that completely got rid of the drone? Also, are those mini catalytic converters?

You’re welcome
We took out the old mufflers AND took out the cross. Installed the biggest muffler that would fit…. Also installed end mufflers (wanted lowest noise possible).
Thing is though: only when I removed the cross the drone disappeared. This was the last thing I could come up with, to get rid of that drone…. And it worked.

The vibration of both pipes coming together caused this; like a trumpet that only makes a sound when you blow in it correctly.

Hope you know what I mean…

Oh btw those little things are not catalic convertors: those are flexible mounting sleeves.

What did you finally get for mufflers? BTW, I'm running Flow master 70s on my 73 Newport. They have good sound and are quiet cruising down the road. Also, no drone.

No brand: just big and best in test

In addition to changing the mufflers, I’d also suggest putting in some type of dynamat- there are lots of options for it now.

I went from 3.5” with 2 chamber Flowmasters and dumps, to a 3” TTI system with tailpipes, Flowmaster 40 series Delta Flows, and added dynamat to the floor when the interior was out. It’s a night and day difference with interior sound level, can actually hear the stereo now and it’s pleasant at cruising speeds.
