    performance mufflers

     



    I'm looking for the quietest turbo muffler I can find. Any suggestions?
    About 8 yrs. ago I read a turbo muffler comparison in Hot Rod magazine,but I have not seen a updated comparison.
    Thanks Don

    Staniless steel specialties make one that is fairyl quiet and they will make it at any length. Longer-quieter.

    I'v heard some turbo's that are verry loud, I put a turbo on my Falcon and, it's nice and quiet, just as quiet as the stock muffler, has a nicer tone though.

    Also the farther away the muffler the quieter.
