how much louder?

[fivepointnine]

Right now I have a BBK off road H pipe with weld in flowmaster 40's.....stock cat back piping and tailpipes...how much louder would the car be if I did 90 degree turndowns directly after the mufflers?

 

[Javi]

Headaches.

Lol........reason I ask is that I did that on a 5.0 explorer, cat straight to a 40 then a turndown and it was not too loud and I saw some decent gains in the seat of the pants dyno

outside the car, a little louder.
inside the car, a good bit louder.

it wont be ne louder really. deeper but not louder. the exhaust will just hit the ground and bellow causing a deeper note. but it wont be ne "louder"

 

[fivepointnine]

Think there would be any power gains to be had?

 

[98GTnSC]

i dont think there wud be. headers, and an o/r midpipe or hi flow catted 1 r about the only way ull see power gains. dumps shudnt give u nemore or ne less power than the other exhaust mods u have. header, midpipe,catback, etc. theyll all basically give u the same power output

I have turn downs. Before every road trip back to Cali, I put the rest of the exhaust back on. The drone is soo fcuking annoying. Hwy is the worst. But it does sound bad ass when I'm cruising and racing.

 

[EastBayStang98]

yeah wouldnt recommend a o/r midpipe, with turn downs, too damn annnoying

its not as bad as what you guys think, i just made my new exhaust heres a pic

Well, you have a mac chambered X pipe so that dims down the drone and it looks like you have a 3 chamber flow or knock off. Yours will be quieter than the OP's.

And you would cry driving next to my super 40 at WOT. People always say the only good thing about loosing to me is they get to hear my Exhaust. :0)

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwwwwww lol

should be cool when i find some basanni mufflers to weld in there.

 

[fivepointnine]

what about welding in some 10 series single chamber flowmasters? would that be unbearably loud? cause I gotta admit, my current setup is not loud at all, (BBR O/R catless h pipe with weld in classic 40's)

 

[D3VST8R96GT]

just take the flows off...put some turn downs just off the h.....that will be killer loud and raspy hahaha

 

[fivepointnine]

yeah not really looking for the raspyness, there is a guy on post that has no mufflers on his 06 and it just sounds kinda funny

Just remember, your exhaust will only be so loud with a stock induction system... add a cai, throttle, aftermarket head/intake/cams and it will be alot louder...
