Can anyone give a description of the different sounds made by various main muffler brands, flomaster, brullen etc..? on a supra of course.

[supra8215]

just go turbo...it will quite down alot... :shock:

[dogstar]

i can phoenix

a vibrant goes "braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"
a dynomax goes "brooooorrraaarrr"
a brullen goes "wheee wheee wheee" all the way home.

lol, what i think is a better solution is sound clips, but hosting them is a royal pain in the ass.

once i get around to it, ill record mine... basically open pipe leading to a muffler you can see through, its loud, but tolerable.

[SupraDOHC]

I'll try and record mine tommorrow. It will probably be a small quicktime video since I dont think my camera will do just audio. I have a pacesetter header, 2.5 crush bent pipe, and a flowmaster turbo muffler.

[RaptorRacing]

Put up a post on the shows/meets forum and ask everyone who was at the toronto meet how they liked the sound of a Brullen flying by them at 6000rpm...personally I have yet to hear a more sweeter sounding exhaust...wish i had an audio clip.

[Muchbzy]

I have a PowerTech. I like the sound very much. Got to hear it very well at the VA meet when the car was on the dyno. I got mine from ebay but they also have a web site.

are you wanting a quite or a loud muffler?, a straight through could be considered unbearable(esp. in the backseat of ur buddys mark 3 at 210kph/north of 5000rpm)

[dmlsupra]

I'm actually looking for a quite muffler, something that wont make loud noise when I,m cruising the street at 3000rpm. Actually, my muffler backfire at idle........this is a real piece of s.......

Advance Auto sell the Dyno Max Super Turbo mufflers for $39.95. They are nice and quite. Except when you get on it really hard.

[Angkistrodon]

I was looking at thoses today....they looked like they would be a little loud...but if you say so..I trust you.
One thing that bothered me about them was the diameter of the pipe. I'm still running the stocker exhaust. Do they make a smaller diameter that I just didn't see or do you have to weld an adapter in there? My muffler is shot and I want to upgrade but I can't afford a cat back at the moment. I'd like to buy a realivly nice muffler weld it to the stocker then cut it off and then weld it to a catback when the cash comes in.

I might have something of interest.

[dmlsupra]

Message sent. I am unsure on shipping but would have to check. I could always send you a "gift" !!

Hi guys !

I am lloking at prices for mufflers too... Here in the US, it is incredible how cheap it can be ! I mean, Mufflers on Ebay for less than 50 bucks... In France I wouldn't find anything under 350 dollars...

Whatever, have you got some good things to suggets ? I'm thinking about buying one here, and have it shipped to France.

I like the PowerTech pretty much, as suggested before :

http://i7.ebayimg.com/03/i/02/5d/1b/8c_1.JPG

I think I would prefer a single-exhaust, though... The double exhaust doesn't fit with the kind of hole we have under the rear bumber, if you see what I mean...

I today have an aftermarket replacement exhaust, brand "Walker"... I don't know if you know it, but it is really of poor quality :cry:

I'm looking for a good look of course, a little noise but not too much : I use a lot my car on highway (cruising at 100 mph :lol: ), I don't want to become deaf...

Thanks if you have any ideas or comments :)

straight pipe right from the headers through the hood 8)

And where to find that :lol: ? And the cost ?

Gees, sending this back to France is going ot cost me a lot... :(

<<<<<<<Its says your in florida

:lol:

The thing is, I have a lot of things to bring back to France, and how do you think I would be able to make a straight pipre right from the headers to the hood fit in a bag :P

That's the problem with the pipe... That's why I am just looking for the muffler (anyway, no cat in France, I will manage a home-made inox pipe).

I was talking about the muffler

I did'nt realize their were supra's in France, or mabey i just didn't think about it.
Is'nt a 2.8 L realy big over there? and i thought they were very strict on emmisions? Or is that England?


Wasn't someone getting a audio clip? I would very much like to see it, although it is hard to tell volume on a clip

Hi !

Yes there are Supras in France, here is mine :) : http://www.celicasupra.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10788

The Supra is a pretty big car in France, and a 2.8 6 cylinders is a pretty big engine. People here mainly drive 4 cylinder diesel engines (70% of the cars sold...)

Gas is trully expensive, to say so... 1.20 € for one litre, that makes for you guys... around $ 5.50 a gallon. Yeah, hard times...

You're talking about which exhaust ?

[Snake2715]

thedjfou,


I personally would look into magnaflow.

They have excellent ratings and I have heard that the sound is not deadening but a nice blend of deep and throaty.

I have read some reviews and as you are probably aware if it looks the same it may not perform the same.

I have an old email from about a year and a half ago. I am going to copy and paste. The pricing may have changed but at that time I could not find a lower price on this muffler.

here it is:

I am chiming in late but anyway wanted to pass along some info I had found to be cheap last year. Maybe it will help maybe not.
This is a copy of part of my conversation:


I have been in contact with you about a magnaflow 14319 you qouted me $81 with a 5% discount if the order exceeded $100. Ok I want two of them . Also do you have resonators for the 3" inlet/outlet maybe 18"-20" long? How much and also what tip (most common is fine) goes with these exhausts? and a cost on them. How do I order? the site or is there a number I can call you at?
Thanks.

Josh,
we can be reached @ 818-998-7280.
we do have resonators in a glasspack style 18" long 4" around, cost is $35
each.
Tips are what is personally liked...I prefer the Thermal R & D tips because
of their superior construction and look. Made of T304 stainless and
polished to a great finish. These sell more than any other tips we have.
Take a look on our web page under Thermal tips in our store area.
Feel free to call me with the part #'s for the tips you'd like, we'll take
your credit card information over the phone and get the order processed
ASAP. Likely to be shipped on Mon.

All orders over $100 receive 5% off.

After my research and reading a couple reports i was very interested in the mgnaflow mufflers. So maybe this info will help maybe not you probably have better pricing available but in the slim case you dont theres the info.

[thedjfou]

Thanks for your post, that's really cool !

Can you tell me what a resonator is ?

I've been to check on Ebay, it seems rather expensive... :(

[Omega]

I would go with Magna Flow or Borla.
Then again you could foget it all and go with the ultimate free flow, striaght pipes. :lol:
Taking the cat off would give a little extra too.

Its basically a sound dampener. So youput one to two of those inline and the sounds is less.

I think I'll perhaps do that, back in France, the problem being traveling on highways (so noisy)...

I don't have any cat, my Supra is a french one, I have 170 hp stock :D

Ok, thanks :)
