EviLette Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 So yeah, it's getting to be about the time that I need to put a new set of mufflers on my GP. It's been four years, they aren't rusting through, but they are definitely rusty. I can grab some better pictures if you like, but here's what they looked like a couple months back with my crappy cameraphone. I'm trying to figure out what all I can use... I really, REALLY like the way they sound now. I'll grab a video to illustrate here in a few, once I'm up and around. I've been hunting around, trying to get exhaust clips of new mufflers behind 3.1/3100s to get an idea of what I'm looking for in sound.. because flat out, I love the sound of my exhaust. It's not really LOUD per se, but it does get kind of up there in resonation around.. oh, around 3k rpm on a slow climb. Anyways, if anybody has links to exhaust clips laying around, that would be super sweet. I want to get rid of my cat, but with moving to Missouri, I know that's not going to be an option.. and I'm probably going to have to replace the one I already have on there... which is factory, I'm 99.99999% sure. But yeah. Any ideas? Quote
MonteCarloDude Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 I have seen 1 video of a 3100 that sounds good with a new muffler on it, And that was MCC's with one flowmater 40 on it. Quote

Im not sure how two flowmasters would sound on that, maybe someone with a set on there car will chime in. Quote
EviLette Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Posted July 6, 2008 That was the effect I was hoping for. I know I'll never have v8 sound out of it, so I'm not kidding myself. I like a subtle purring at idle, with deep resonation that increases in volume as you accelerate. Yeah, typical exhaust. LOL. Quote

mra32 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 I've been extremely happy with my Summit welded chamber muffler that I got for $40. It sounds deep and all of my friends are jealous of how my car sounds. Its a 2-1/4 offset inlet with 2-1/4 offset outlet. I'll try to get sound clips up. Quote
89GranSport Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Here is a Oldsmobile Achivea with a 3100, it has dual Flowmaster super 40's with 2.25" piping. Quote
mra32 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Powered by 3.1/3100?? Of course. You think i actually go fast in a straight line? Quote

89SupremeCutty Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 i just recently put duals on my car. not sure of the brand of mufflers but i do have part numbers listed on the page. http://www.w-body.com/forum/index.php?topic=69037.0 there should be a couple sound clips of mine on the page. sidewinder has a vid on that page too of his exhaust.

I will try to get a nice vid tomorrow.. Quote
EviLette Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Posted July 7, 2008 Here is a Oldsmobile Achivea with a 3100, it has dual Flowmaster super 40's with 2.25" piping. That thing sounds freaking sexy. From what I've been hearing, I'm thinking Flowmaster 40 series is what I'm going to want... Just as a comparisin, thats what I have now. Rusting GM mufflers and factory piping ftw. Quote
mra32 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 I bit the bullet and registered for a photobucket account just for you: http://s318.photobucket.com/albums/mm432/dieslowlymf/?action=view¤t=MVI_1568.flv Just startup. Quote
Rdrckt_92 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 I have flowmaster 40's on my gp, I think it sounds pretty good, it does drone on the highway. you may want to consider a resonator too Quote
Andrew Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 I have dual 40 series delta flow flowmasters and they pwn... I will try to get a nice vid tomorrow.. i second the Delta flow's!!! they still sound great but the interior resonance is much lower than the standard 40's. Quote
LuminaPower92 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 I have dual 40 series delta flow flowmasters and they pwn... I will try to get a nice vid tomorrow.. i second the Delta flow's!!! they still sound great but the interior resonance is much lower than the standard 40's. True 40s on my white Lumi. It sounds better on that one then my Euro, we followed the stock exhaust over the rear axle, then split to two mufflers. Sounds great. The euro much more raspy followed the Z34 exhaust. Quote

BXX Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 ^^ Yours is pretty loud, but not a very mellow tone... 2.8/3.1s tend to be like that... 3x00s sounds much smoother..

Thats what I have but with no resonator... Of course I have a cat unlike you but that is about to change All I know is that I can hear both of you coming from a mile away LOL.
