I went from Blowmasters to the Ultra Flo on my blown LSC that used to prowl the streets of SI lookin' for trouble about 15 years ago. Best move ever. Car even made more power with them. Car sounds way better now. You can tell it's got a little somethin' somethin', but it's not all in your face about it. I dig it!
first.. I regret not revving it up during the decibel meter test! It didn’t even cross my mind… Also the start ups for the Dynomax and Loudmouth were done 24 hours apart, so the engine was completely cold before startup. Anyway, how loud do you like your car?
Awesome comparison! I’m so glad you take such great care for each video. I own an 85 Trans Am... so watching you do mods and dealing with situations is very helpful. I used magnaflow to solve my noise issue!
Have you considered going with a true duals I did on my 91 ? 2 - 2-1/2" flows much better than 1-3" or a 3-1/2" it took a Long time to find somebody to do it ..A lot of shops with no Imagination said it can't be done. I live in the Seattle area And I was surprised with the Huge market we Have 99% of the shops thought I was crazy. I found a shop called Pro Exhaust In Auburn WA. The end results was big .And for the Nay Sayers your not pushing 350 or 400 cubic inches of exhaust through a single 3' pipe with any efficiency..
I'm currently waiting on my Ultra Flo cat-back kit to show up, that's going on my 4.0L Grand Cherokee, and I was worried it might be too loud vs. the Super Turbo, but this video has me hopeful. I had an '87 IROC-Z in the same color, that I - unfortunately - wrapped around a utility pole on a county road, one foggy night.... *sigh*
Put on the Hawks 4" single. I put it on my Formula made more power, I used a Vibrant muffler sounds great and not obnoxiously loud. Surprisingly the system fits really well. My videos are not as good as your but you can hear a few different mufflers with the Hawks system. "Firefird 40 series Flowmaster 4" Hawks exhaust" on youtube.
so since you had that new muffler put on has it gotten louder or stayed the sane? I want to run strait through mufflers on my mildly built 318 in my 82 short bed truck.
Maybe u can do another comparison with black widows I know they seem to be taking over. Plus their slogan is "all tone no drone" I'm in cali and went from loud to quiet but I'm getting ready to make it a bit louder.
I had a 99 corvette that had long tube headers, high flow cats, and straight pipe from there and it was glorious but it would have been nice to have a quieter set up when I wanted to listen to music and have cutouts to make it loud and proud, that’s the set up I’m going with at some point on the 3rd gen I bought a few weeks ago
Hey Matt, are you running any cats? Not sure if I missed that part of the video but maybe it would be louder if you could run dual exhaust. I like the tone of the dynomax but it seems quiet to me too
Lol yeah they are drone kings and are pretty bad, but can be remedied by changing up the RPMs a little and goes away. I've got them on my Challenger SRT8 and really is obnoxious, but at the same time sounds so good and will keep them
Gotta admit though, sounded like music with no muffler. I’ve got a dynomax turbo muffler and my camaro and it’s the perfect amount of noise. Quiet enough to street it but perfect amount of noise when you punch it.
LsxMatt if you’re going to get an electric cutout go with DMH performance. Supposed to be the best around to avoid leaks. I bought one myself but never installed it yet. Heard a lot of good things about them.
You do know that there are big decibel difference when the cars is on the ground vs off the ground. You should test again when the car is in the ground. Mush more resonance. True Duals is the best way to go for your power gains.
This is basically the exhaust that I've had on my '83 TA, '87 Formula 350 and '87 TA (right down to the same model ultraflo, SLP intermediate pipe, and 3" turndown before the bumper). I've added a cutout to my '87 TA. Even with no interior panels installed in the back of the TA, with the cutout closed it's quiet enough to listen to music, talk, long drive... like in a normal car. Cutout open... full race car sounding: ua-cam.com/video/9y4k7AIIdwU/v-deo.html
I started out with the SLP 2 on the left 3" system. The packing blew out and i'm sure driving it everyday damaged my hearing. I couldn't bear the thought of getting rid of my 2 pipes on the driver side. I found a Dynomax with a 3" inlet double outlet and a flapper valve. Just like yours it had the "fake" 3" inlet - actually neck down closer to 2.5. So several hours of cutting, pipe expanding and TIG welding later i had a true 3" in double 2.5 out with the correct alignment for my old SLP tail pipes. I think you are leaving a lot on the table with that sort of 3" setup. I would go to a 4" and spend DAAAAYs cutting and welding mufflers :)
Did you have the ultra flow or super turbo? I know their dual outlet mufflers neck down to like a 2.5 or something like that. The ultra flow seems to maintain the 3 inch size pretty well. Also once the cut out is installed, the muffler size won’t really matter much.
@@lsxmatt this is what I started with www.amazon.com/Dynomax-17963-VT-Muffler/dp/B0057NS2LY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 I shortened it and repositioned the outlets
This was the SLP system with the Amazing but deafening original muffler. I saved the muffler so I could repack it one day www.thirdgen.org/forums/attachments/exhaust/218976d1304910404-slp-2-out-left-035.jpg
Wait did it really just from 50 something dbs to 60 something just by you saying "remember it was at" but try the 3 in hooker catback outside what others hear might be load but inside the cab is not hell I didn't even notice most of the noise when running open headers did feel it vibrating the crab out of me but not loud inside the cab try fixing the weather stripping allowing the car to "seal"
crazysvt03 man I know. I need to get to it. I just built an exhaust for it. If I had more time, I’d make videos like Matt. I do some pretty interesting shit. I just don’t like seeing myself and hearing myself on video. I need to get past that. But I will tell you, gto is RUNNING. I’m working on getting it ready for the drag strip. My goal is a 9.90 eventually. It’s probably around 10.50’s right now.
You build an american muscle car to sound like a regular car with no muscle sound man that creepy LOL I couldn't do it I like a car that roars like a lion in the jungle!!!
I went with a dynomax on my 1990 IROC years ago and never regretted it. Good choice.

LsxMatt my camaro is a cat delete with a pretty small muffler and it’s pretty loud but still daily driven lol
Slp sounds the best nothing like seeing and hearing a loud muscle car drone or no drone

I liked no muffler no cats better than the rest of the set ups the Slp was decent the new muffler not my taste

I live in tacoma I'm going to check pro exhaust out,I have a 1986 z28,how much did they charge you for duel 2 1/2 exhaust?
Without looking through my files I believe it was 900. to $1,000
I love driving videos and just exhaust notes lots of revving good stuff!
Your camaro rocks and u still find ways to make it rock more 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
i love how the slp was basically doing nothing

Varex Mufflers. Fully adjustable. Wide open when you want it to be, but tame when you want it with a push of a button.
Very nice ride! sounds great with the Dynomax. Can you share your paint code, would love to paint my 88 like yours!
Borla 2 1/2 inlet-outlet

I have an SLP loudmouth on my 2000 trans am and I totally get you. Its really obnoxious.
Sounds freakin' amazing!
Besides the muffler, what's the actual exhaust setup? (Headers (which ones)/manifolds, cats? Resonator? Midpipes?)
Would be great to know, thank you
that thing sounds so damn good man my hell
Lol yeah they are drone kings and are pretty bad, but can be remedied by changing up the RPMs a little and goes away. I've got them on my Challenger SRT8 and really is obnoxious, but at the same time sounds so good and will keep them
I had LM2’s on my Camaro for years it hardly droned at all.
I had lm2’s on my Camaro and over 3k it droned pretty bad and had a lot of resonance in the interior, was very annoying.
@@andrewr022488 I had better luck I guess.
01 camaro Ss I went from borla to flowmaster to hooker for the same reason
I knew you were gonna love it
When I put those things on my k5 blazer
I was in heaven
Didnt know you had the Dana 60. How do you like it? What gear?
Sounds good great work Matt 🙌👍
It gets slightly louder as the packing settles
I think thats the pecfect amount of loud right there.
Gotta admit though, sounded like music with no muffler. I’ve got a dynomax turbo muffler and my camaro and it’s the perfect amount of noise. Quiet enough to street it but perfect amount of noise when you punch it.
Oh yea you can really hear the cam with no muffler on it. Can’t wait to get that cut out installed!
LsxMatt if you’re going to get an electric cutout go with DMH performance. Supposed to be the best around to avoid leaks. I bought one myself but never installed it yet. Heard a lot of good things about them.
Maybe I’m just getting old, I think it sounds better with the Dyno max muffler. I like quiet.
i had lm2s on my 98 z28 true duels and it dumped under the car so it was stupid loud and droned like crazy no point in even having a radio
where do you put your drink?

This isn’t myth busters we don’t need to follow the scientific method we get the idea it’s louder straight piped.

What kind of jacks are those?
I’m sure your neighbors are happy now!
Only problem is now you can hear all the rattles and squeaks lol 😂 sounds damn good though
What floor Jack's are those? I need um
Sounds much better. Past videos in the car I always thought it was to loud.
Sounds nice.i hate exhaust drone.its annoying.
Sounds killer!!!
Now you get to hear all the third gen rattles...I have a GMMG and at times it is annoying but It's livable.
Lmao your right about that😂
Where did u get that lift
Send the Malibu to me in Texas, I need a cheap commuter car.
I always thought you liked it loud 😅
nitrous07me it gets old if you actually drive the car (unless your a 15 year old kid). Which he does drive it. Droning sucks.
Wow! 10 db may not seem like much but for those of you that don't know, that's HALF of the volume of noise!
What do you mean half the volume of noise? What noise?
@@trashbandit2449 every 10 DB increase doubles the "noise" so 50 DB is 2x "louder" than 40 DB
@@samuelhartman3897 that's really cool I had no idea about that. Puts it into perspective, thank you
Hell yeah bro bald eagles and dunkin donuts!
Dynomax isnt too bad for the price
Off subject but what lift do u have
They’re quick jacks. I have the 7000lb version
@@lsxmatt what does one cost is like to get one
Hopefully I’m the one who inspired you about the 4” pipe and cutout idea :)
Yeah bud it’s your awesome physique. 😂

Everyone has their own taste but I like my built cars obnoxiously loud. Even on long drives.
Straight pipe he'll yeah!! Maga!! Lets go brandon
If too loud you're old
If you put something like dynamat inside your car you won't have so much drown
Straight pipe
Just gotta move the tip out to eliminate alot of your issues with drone
You build an american muscle car to sound like a regular car with no muscle sound man that creepy LOL I couldn't do it I like a car that roars like a lion in the jungle!!!
I’d rather have a quiet car, that’s fast,than a old car that’s slow. Just because it’s loud, doesn’t mean it has muscle.
Yea your getting old like granpa old these car mods are weird and they suck sorry just keeping real!!!
