Quiet mufflers?

[v-8power]

I have my 84 ranger with a 302, it has true duals with glasspacks. I decided I want it to be as quiet as I can make it. Any ideas on what mufflers I should use? Thanks

Use a set of Hushpower mufflers. They're made by Flowmaster but they decided to make a brand that keeps the power without the noise. I don't know what exactly you're looking for in terms of length and diameter, but they should carry what you need.

cherry bomb turbo mufflers.

Thanks for the info guys.

No prob. Keep in mind that both of those mentioned are performance mufflers, so you'll still get a muscley sound, just much quieter.

I'll see if I can find sound clips online. Thanks again

You're welcome. So is there gonna be a build thread for your new exhaust?

Has anyone ran a hushpower? I likely wont go quiet, but i was thinking of doing that if it still sounds nice. Too many trucks that sound like they just have massive fart cans on here lol.

I'd actually just get a standard exhaust and tell them you want 2 large, but QUIET mufflers. Something that would normally be a single on a larger engine and still keep sound to a minimum. You're cutting your restriction in half just right there, along with a larger muffler.

Unless you're building a performance engine, and in competition where every single horse matters, there's no point. Yes you may still loose a few horse power with my suggestion, but I doubt it's anything you'd actually notice. And it'd be deceivingly quiet.

I had thought about getting 2 of the same mufflers that came on my f150.
I figured they would be cheap enough if I didn't like it I could try somthing different.

My uncle runs a hushpower on his 3L Tacoma and it sounds nice, but it's fairly quiet.

Just get a single in single out flowmaster delta flow 40 series. VERY quiet, but yet it still has the flowmaster sound to it. On my truck you could hardly hear it over the motor noise from the engine bay.


Then I went and hacked all the exhaust tubing off up to the end of it and now it, well it screams now. But on a stock setup it was VERY quiet.

^Sounds like worth looking into.

i would do a stock muffler on yours

honestly, if i were to do mine again, i would put a flow 40 on mine... i've got a magnaflow straight through on mine, (offset offset) it's essentially an expensive glasspack... and mine is VERY quiet, i even drove with nothing behind the midpipe gasket connector thing... (took the exhaust off, and needed a new gasket while i was welding the new muffler on, so i drove with nothing behind the cats) and even that wasn't overpoweringly loud like my mustang is... that's on the sohc though, not sure what it will be like on yours, but i can't imagine it being too much louder than mine... flow 40's often give a deeper rumble to what ever motor it's put on

x2 on the Hushpower mufflers. a friend of mine has some on his 350 S-10, and you would have a hard time telling it from a 4.3 unless he is on the throttle. Definitely makes for a nice sleeper as well as it keeps the unwanted attention off you.
