My jeep is currently straight piped with the exhaust dumping underneath I want to have it ran back to the factory location. I can't decide if I want a single chamber muffler or a short Glasspack. I like the sound of the single chamber better but I believe a Glasspack will flow better any input on this?

Ill chime in just because this thread is already at the top of the feed, I believe that there is a really minimal difference in flow between those options. I have had 3 or 4 exhaust setups now in the muffler/ tailpipe area and I think just go with what you think sounds the best. The power gains will be microscopic at best, and I think the exhaust noises are what make a vehicle feel faster or more powerful. So I would definetely say go for the best sounding option to you

 

Some people get lost/overlooked in a thread with 4500+ posts.

 

You won't get lost. That's just where these types of questions go. That's why you don't see questions about exhaust much as their own thread. They usually go in that sticky thread. The ask a question thread is 10 times bigger and everyone's questions usually get a response.

 

What brands are you looking into?

 

Agreed.

Go with what you like the sound of. The difference in flow will not be noticeable, in fact the lack of back pressure can actually hurt your performance.

 

I finally installed mine today in my '87. I had to weld the flange on a straight piece of pipe that bolts to where the CC would go (it's a Renix model thing), then used a Walker 17197 muffler to a Dynomax tailpipe.

I have a Borla header with 1.5" collectors, a 2" crossover pipe, then the straight pipe, muffler and tail pipe are all 2.5". The muffler is longer than what is considered a standard replacement, and is center/offset on the ends. It has a lower tone, and not as sharp as when the exhaust just dumped out the cross-over. Based on the water vapor pulses coming out the tailpipe, it appears savaging remains unchanged.

 

X2,
Who's single chamber are you considering.

One VS the other depends on the muffler.
If it's just free flow baffling like a Flowmaster Super 10 then there shouldn't be much difference at all.

Also if you don't have anything more than an air filter that allows more flow, such as head work and/or a performance camshaft,
Then you really don't need max exhaust flow.

Like LACK said, the lack of back pressure can hurt performance.

 

I have a single chamber flowmaster on mine. It honestly is a little too loud for my tastes but the previous owner had it installed, drones quite a bit at low RPM's. I may change it out at some point for something a little quieter.

 

I was looking at this single chamber muffler http://www.ebay.com/itm/201363926228?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITvs a short 10' or 12" glasspack.

 

option: save your money and just have the exhaust routed out to the stock location and keep it straight piped. I ran mine this way and it sounds amazing, while not the drone you probably have in the cab right now. any exhaust you put on will be extremely quiet in comparison. as far as lack of back pressure i cant say i notice any performance loss but it feels like she breathes better on the highway.

 

I may do that then add a muffler later.

I just ordered two of those.

And one of these-

Will be here tomorrow.

 

I don't want a glasspack 25" long If they have one half that size for cheaper then that would be a deal.
