Quietest Muffler
HI All, Looking for the Quietest Muffler out there. I have a flowmaster that came with the vehicle and Its too much for me. Drones and hides the sound of my music on the highway and around town I just dont want that sound drawing attention. Is there a quiet muffler that will not decrease my performance? Is stock the way to go? Do the stock units hold up well? IE can I go to the JY and grab a decent unit off a grand or other vehicle? Ive read lots of threads on this. Thrush Turbo keeps being mentioned but I looked at it at the parts store and Im thinking it is going to be similar to the flowmaster I already have. Thanks in advance. capdaddy

My '97 Grand Cherokee still has the original muffler on it and when I asked the muffler guy about replacing it, (when I had the cat replaced), he said it was stainless and still in great shape. Look for one from a V8 Grand. I know the '97 at least is long lasting and flows quite well, and is very quiet. It's more of a rectangle shape viewing from the end, rather than round or oval, and has a Chrysler star emblem stamped into the metal.

STOCK? no, obviously a OEM muffler wont do that. you want cheap and quiet, instead of paying for a stock unit at the JY put an ad out to TRADE someone for their good condition OEM unit for yours.. and the ywill likely even thrown in a few bucks on their end. Then take that OEM one and after you clean it up, before you install it, cover it with a coat of POR-15.
i dont know of any aftermarket performance exhaust that doesnt increase sound.
i'd trade you if i wasnt across the ocean.

thrush turbo is quiet (too quiet for me, but I dont have the money for a different muffler.)
You can barely hear it in the cab, and its not that loud outside.
Bought it a couple months ago, but thinking of going back to straight pipe.

um you could go with the dynomax kit if you want a kit, it sounds pretty good, louder than stock but not as loud as any other brand name mufflers, I think they are still doing the rebate of $75 and its all bolt on. I got the 93+ version cheapest on amazon for $143 shipped. 92 and below are cheaper like close to $115ish. Otherwise just their mufflers have like a $25 rebate as well.

OK Thanks guys. Dynomax with a rebate... Sounds better than sloshing through the JY. Its been raining here all day. Also I just ordered some Fatmat to hopefully quiet the interior even more. I might hold off on the muffler install till i find out if that helps enough or not. capdaddy
