SLP muffler sounds like crap
 

Anybody who has this muffler on their car let me ask you this:

After about 2 years the car is starting to have a ricey tone at a lower RPM than before. It used to have the rcie tone at about 4200 to 4500 RPMs but now if I open it up it gets ricey at about 3500 RPM.

Uhggg.. I thought with the V6 I wouldn't have to deal with this crap. I'm def going with another Flowmaster 80, probably in Janurary. I loved the Flowmaster I had on there before, but stupid me sold it on eBay:(

Anybody dealt with this?

this happened to me right before my exhaust fell off, rofl. i just had it U-clamped on and needed to get it welded, i had it like that for like a month or two and towards the end it started making the ricey tone, after it was welded on the tone went away, idk if that helps you lol

dood, stop screwing around with all that high-dollar stuff, run down to the muffler shop and have them drop the longest glasspack you can find. all the high tones will be gone, and a nice rumble with good flow. In two years when you can't stand the sound anymore, you're out $15.....no biggie. I'll try and post sound files once my duals are installed. Cherry Bomb FTW!!! hahahah

ya, i loved my flowmaster 80. brents dual 40s sounds real nice too.

Good thing everyone loves the 80, I got one from Ebay that came Thursday and it's sitting in my trunk until I get a chance to put it on.
Can't wait!

somoene should post an audio file of the flowmaster 80 with duals... on a 2.4 IF possible that'd be sweet haha. Cause thats what i think im goin to be goin with my Magnaflow perforamance muffler is SHOT.

Also my CAT has a rattle to it thats possibly just the heat shield and nothing inside (not positive yet) whats a good fix for that problem?

If it's the only the heat shield, just rip it off, you don't need it and the heat shiel bolts rot away.

BJ, I'm hearin' ya on the glasspacks, but I don't really care for them too much. My mech got them on his '73 'cuda and I'm not feeling them too much. Yeah they sound good after a .030 bored over 340, but I'm not liking them behind a 207.

I like my Slp

fart cannon all the way guys, im tellin ya, it pisses alot of the rice boys off

^^ Umm yeah, no thanks guys

:icon_rolleyes:

my 80 is excellent at idle and low rpm, but WOT it gets raspy, usually between 4000 and 6000 rpm.

^^ Raspy how? Ricey raspy?

I remember it sounding pretty good, but I didn't have a full exhasut on the car back then, just the muffler

My SLP is 4 years old, and it still sounds and almost looks brand new. It is actually a little more mellow than it used to be, probably because of the carbon buildup. You might wanna check and make sure it is still holding on tight.

the 80 series drones like a mother effer at highway speeds........ i dont know how you guys with it can stand it

one aluminum turbo tube(chambered glasspack) right after the cat, and then duals after the axle...with at least 3" from the axle out...will give a nice rumble i believe...ill let ya know in a month or so

jon if your gonna put duals in put dual 40's in

Do you have any pics of the way it's set up?

you think that will offer a low n loud sound? with hardly any tailpipe?

ken, i dont have pics, but i am using a Y after the axle to split the system, and using big pipe after the axle(should) give it a deeper sound since pressure, and velocity will slow down at that point?...just a hope i guess, but im tired of the slp sound since almost everyone has it...im looking for that differnt sound
