What Mufflers to get?

[discot315]

Hey Im trying to decide what mufflers to get for my Truck. Its a 1980 K10 lifted with a rebuilt 77 350 with Hooker headers.
When I put in the new motor I put on Flowmaster Super 10's on the sh*tty old rusted pipes, Bad choice lol they say right on the box "not street legal" They sure attract alot of unwanted attention to my truck especially from the police for some reason... lol sooo loud.
My trucks in the shop again im going to redo the exhaust from the headers back, I want some mufflers that are quiet but sounds good and arent annoying loud like mine. I want sorta a deep tone that gets louder at higher rpms. I had glasspacks before my motor swap, and there ok but I want a better tone. My buddy says get Thrush welded or turbo mufflers. Any suggestions? thanks lol

Magnafow! I run a magnaflow on my yukon and it had a nice deep sound and mellow at cruise and idle but screams at wot. I'm running a cherry bomb vortex muffler on my k10 and its also a straight through design muffler its tame at idle and cruise but really talks to you when you get on it.

Flowmaster super 44s. I had headers and true duals with those on my 98 with 350. Nice grumble at idle and low rpms but when you get on the gas, it sounded really pissed off. I loved them.

Yeah my friend has a 44 on his S10 and its not bad it sounds pretty good, and what magnaflow muffler is that? Im looking at these mufflers on youtube lol. Thanks for the input guys

Also I dont want it to be too to loud but still loud enough to be noticed (if thats possible) Gotta have it sorta loud with a big old Chevy!   
mines just toooo loud atm, im already not allowed my truck on my schools property because the neighbors and all the teachers complain, not that it matters I grad this weekend lol. Im sorta leaning towards Magnaflow now after hearing some and Thrush still

I have had cherry bomb, thrush, dynomax, some others and now have magnaflow. The magnaflows are the best yet, pretty quiet at cruising speed and get plenty loud at wot and no drone at all. I have flotech headers 2.5" duals with a single dual in dual out crossflow muffler.

I have cherry bomb vortec's on my 350, 2/34" duals dumping to 4" tips, no x or h pipe and they sound awesome.  Maybe a little loud for some peoples taste, but I like them.

i love my magnaflows!!!!

Magnaflows or Moroso.

I'm running Magnaflows on my burb now. I was a flowmaster fan for ever. The short of it....I am getting ready to yank these things out and get me another set of flows. These things sound like glass packs when i put a load on the engine. Idling and wide open, they sound great. But part throttle cruising with a slight load on it, they sound like a cheap ole glass pack I could have bought for 1/3 the money. I have Hooker comp headers with 2.5" pipe back to the mufflers, then 2.5" pipe run back and turned over the rear end. Definitely NOT the sound I was looking for. I know it's all a matter of personal preference, but my one and only experience with magnaflows has not been a good one. And thus, I will never buy them again. My biggest regret is I now have to cut into a brand new exhaust system to patch a new set of mufflers back in.

Ill see if I can get some videos up tomorrow of my truck with the vortex muffler and my yukon with the 14in magnaflow. I recently put long tube headers and offroad y pipe on the yukon so ill post both videos. The headers made it pretty obnoxious under wot but still tame any other time.

here is one with the truck but the camera changed the sound it has a deep bass tone to it that the camera cannot pickup.

I heard some Magnaflows on a BBC truck a few months ago and it sounded so sexy.  I was so close to going out and buying a set for my truck.  They let you hear enough of the motor at idle and under light throttle they gave a little rumble.  WOT wasn't even that crazy either.  It was all around smooth.

I have dynomax superturbo's on my '90, I like the sound.  They came with lifetime warranty, on my 3rd one.

I had a dynomax; it rusted through in about 6 months
