I'm about to buy a new exhaust system and the system I'm looking at is a 2 and 3/4" system and I can get dynomax or magnum mufflers. I was told the dynomax mufflers are louder than the magnums and the magnums are the least restrictive. Anyone have either of these on their car? I'm interested in a nice sound that's not too loud.
Anyone use Dynomax or Magnum Mufflers? Opinions on sound

i wouldn't know I just got a pair of single chamber delta force 3" 
ima a flowmaster guy.
but i was doing research on other mufflers before i went to flowmasters. I would take a look at the bullet mufflers though. Remember if your pipe comes over the axel then it will be quiter then turn downs. With that in mind, see if you can GOOGLE your muffler you want, then click on "videos" right about the seach bar. Then you can decide which sound you like better.
remember all aftermarket mufflers flow well, its sound that is most important to drivers IMHO. There are differences in restriction of course, and sure there is POSSIBLY some HP differences in each muffler. But all mufflers aftermarket flow very high. But the HP differences are so small its really just a decision based on sound. If someone is so worried about their mufflers causing them to lose HP then run a dump. Mufflers are for sound INHO. You can unlock more power without buying NEW mufflers and investing in other parts. Again this is said to prove that sound is usally most important to a driver.
just my 2 cents, i did a lot of muffler research latly so i chimed in.
hope that helped. Later

Walker Ultraflo- straight thru design. Good tone, free flowing.
dynamax- any straight thru muffler will work
i wish pittbulls were available
Me too. That's what's on my GN. I've got to get this new system for my 85 Elky GN and I wanted the ATR system, but I assume that it is gone since they went out of business.
The magnums are oval mufflers which I've never used. I wasn't sure about the sound from oval mufflers. I want a sound that isn't too loud, just a nice sound...like the pitbull mufflers had.

The Flow Master design does not work well in a turbo car. Their theory of design is NOT applicable to a turbo engine. My experiences with them is that they do not work well in a turbocharged application. The Walker Ultra-Flow is probably my first choice in muffler for a turbo car. Magna-Flow also has great products. Gorlicks Excelertor series is the same design as Ultra-flow welded steel. If you are making less then 550 horsepower, then anything over 2.5" is a waste, and is much louder.
Ok. Anybody have a good source for these mufflers (Walker Ultra flow). I usually support our vendors if possible. Thanks for the input.

I usually hit up the local mufffler shop and have them installed- about $120 for the pair.

dynamax ultraflows flow the best
Here is a cheesy video, my ole' lady made while messing around one day, of my Hooker exhaust with Pit Bull mufflers. The rattling you hear is my 5 disc torque convertor. Also she is speaking German.

Jegs or Summit both carry Dynomax. Here's the links Dynomax Ultra-Flo SS Mufflers - JEGS and Dynomax Ultra Flo Mufflers: WLK-17283 - summitracing.com

I ran the round Dynomax Ultraflow mufflers on my old Grey car with ATRs SS dual 3" system. The sound was awesome, nice deep tone and no drone at speed. I will be running the Ultraflows again on my new car. I'm gonna replace the Flowrestrictors, I mean Flowmasters that are on the car now.
Boy I wish I could find a local muffler shop that would sell true SS Ultraflows for $120.00 for the pair installed. As Jegs shows the # 17283 for $109.99 each.
All in all, they are a great sounding muffler.
