Guest Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 I am looking to get new muflers for my 71 Monte and was wondering what everyone recomends. I know some people like flowmasters and I have heard some good things about edelbrock. Please advice. Thanks 71 Monte J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 I would have to go with the American Thunder Flowmasters myself! I love them!! Stella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 I just put Flowmasters on mine. 2 chamber 40 series which is their street/strip muffler. If you like a deep "growl" sound you will like these! Interior noise is not bad at all as my wife and I can talk without yelling with no problems. Course this is if you have the tail pipes out to the rear bumper.

Andreas Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Before you embark on Flowmaster or Dynomax, drop by your local MIDAS store (YES, MIDAS!) and check out the brand-new RAVIN high-performance mufflers, which outflow Flowmasters and Dynomax on a 350 Chevy engine. I have the RAVIN Z-33 series on my Monte and they are great. Powdercoated black, MIDAS nationwide lifetime warranty, do I have to say more? Also check the website goravin.com for sound samples and more info.... ------------------ 71 Monte 383 "The Full Monty" 86 Monte LS ZZ4 "The Gray Mouse" Andreas' Monte Carlo Site Member NMCOA, FGMCC (Event Coordinator) --------------------------------------- "It ain't a car if it's not a Monte" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Andreas, Thanks for the info I went to there site they sound good. Would you remember what you paid for them, I can't seem to find any pricing on the ravin's. 71 Monte J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 I paid $210 installed for the mufflers and a H-pipe. I think only mufflers & installation was around $180. ------------------ 71 Monte 383 "The Full Monty" 86 Monte LS ZZ4 "The Gray Mouse" Andreas' Monte Carlo Site Member NMCOA, FGMCC (Event Coordinator) --------------------------------------- "It ain't a car if it's not a Monte" [This message has been edited by Andreas (edited 06-12-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 If you want some big loud sound, and don't have to worry about emmissions, I would suggest a nice set of Dynomax bullet mufflers. You lose maybe ~10-15 ft lbs down low, but mid-range and top end power grow immensely. I have old style Dynomax bullets with 2.5" mandrel bent side exit pipes, and the car idles at a nice burble and not too loud... over 2500 tho, it's damn loud and sounds great .

Guest Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Check out MagnaFlow's, they out flow the over rated Flowmasters, and sound awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superstk Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 I agree with buc01, I put the Flowmaster 2 chamber 40 series on mine w/full 3 inch exhuast out the back. When I put it to the floor it sounds awsome. Lose some low end but boy do you pickup mid-top end power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 Would anybody have any recommendations for mufler shops in the Napervile area of Illinos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 I highly recommend the 2 1/2" system from Flowmaster with 40 series mufflers. It is mandrel bent to avoid kinks, has a built in H-Pipe, is Aluminized to prevent rust and sounds great! It is also pretty easy to install! Summitt Racing runs specials on this system all the time.
