my stroker with 2" straight pipe with 18" glass pack, i think im going to switch to the 40 series i have laying around

 

Im looking for a muffler cheap (perferably under 40, but I can cope with up to 100) that is quiet but has the deepest growl it can have. I want the best peformance gains I can get aswell, but im used to the stock mufflers performance so it isnt necessary, just preferred. Quiet but Mean. Like James Bond. I want my muffler to be like flipping James Bond.

 

Biggest thing is little to no drone. when i want to act like a gran turismo racer then its fun as heck, but it gets annoying when i have to act like a civilized human being. thats what i meant by quiet.

 

Theres a muffler that has a baffle in it that stays closed under normal acceleration, but opens up at wot. There a little pricey though i think. I think magnaflow makes one.

 

Here ya go

Dynomax has a sound clip of it. Not too aggressive. Sounds cheap to me. Is it possible to et a deep sound without drone? Or are the two hand in hand?

 

No its possible. Im not an expert on exhaust so hopefully someone else with more knowledge will chime in. But from what ive read, magnaflow mufflers have a nice throaty tone w/o a drone. Im ordering one next week to put on my xj. That dynomax vt is designed to have a nice tone with absoutly no drone.

 

Herp derp.
Mag.
And dyno.
Great for no drone solong as its out the rear and not dumped b4 the bumper

 

Read somewhere that the straight 6 engine doesn't have the qualities to produce much "growl" regardless of the muffler. This is mostly true. Whenever I go to a Jeep show I try to listen to as many XJs as posssible & question the drivers about their mufflers. Not too many out there that growl. I'm just looking for a decent quiet tone at idle and as little drone as possible on the highway.

 

Does higher flow rate through the muffler equal better performance? does it affect the engine by not having as much back pressure? If so, what does it do?

 

Growl? Spintech 9000 all day. And with no drone.

 

No back pressure you will lose a small bit of your torque curve a muffler like
Mag flow and all others will be fine but complete straight pipe will suck your torque curve. But a higher flow rate cat and muffler will increase performance.

 

Rah!

 

I'll believe it when I actually hear one. I got stuck with this abomination by taking a recommendation in a forum years ago & didn't follow up with a listening. Never again.

 

What kind did you get?
