I know, I know, this has been beat to death and back because I've read much of the archived stuff. This was supposed to be a poll but obviously I'm too stupid to build a Poll.

1) Borla XR-1
2) Flowmaster 50 series
3) Magnaflow
4) Edlebrock RPM
5) Other

Just a quick answer whether you have heard one in person, or on a vid, or whatever. If there's a #5 in your response, please list the muffler.

Hopefully this will help folks for the next few months.

Use the thread tools above your first post to add a poll. Hope this helps.

I have a magnaflow, its pretty quiet. But I think there are different models of some of those mufflers you posted.

I've tried the Magnaflow and Borla. Borla was...is....loud. Magnaflow was deep but not nearly as loud.

I put on a Magnaflow and it's not that much louder than stock at idle. Even friends w/ 951s questioned if I had changed mufflers because they couldn't notice too much of a difference at idle. It's certainly louder under acceleration, though.

I can only speak about the Borla XR-1, it's quite loud but it sounds great.

Here's a audio file at idle with my SFR cat-back (with Borla XR-1)

I imput the choices on the Poll tool, put I don't see the poll. Do you attach the poll after the topic has been posted? jeeze... what a noob..

One thing I knew, the Borla is just slightly better than a pipe.

Selecting a new exh is on my list of "chores" this evening and I think I'm starting to move away from buying a muffler from one of the sponsors, which is where the exh will come from. SFR is very convienent because they're here in SD, but the muffler selection is iffy at best.

I want to know this as well.
My stock exhaust is starting to come apart, and the muffler needs replacement. Honestly I just want a nice quiet muffler to replace it with, but I don't want to lose any power.

add me to the list in search of quiet muffler for a 3in pipe

i had a 3" inch exhaust with a magnaflow muffler but i didn't believe it was quiet though.

ibkevin

Daniel, was that the 40 series or the 50? In my reading the 50 is supposed to be stock quiet.

i've reviewed the edelbrock rpm muffler, i believe it's the best one. sound and thread here;

I may have one of those vids, I have been watching this topic for a loooong time.
