JeepsOLot Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 What's everyone running these days? I finally replaced my stock blown-up muffler (from backfires when I was trying to get it running) on my '88 Eliminator (4.0L Renix) with a Thrush Welded muffler. I must say I'm impressed for spending $37 and change on this thing, and the sound is beautiful!! No raspy ricer sound, deep tones, even when idling, and, when you are on the highway, the drone isn't really bad at all. I was just curious if anyone is running this one, and, if not, what are you guys running. Jerry
shelbyluvv Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I run the same muffler and really like the sound.
ggcnash Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Fm 50 on mine,sounds good imo, little more rumble than stock.
daking Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I have a flow-master 40 or 50. I don't like the sound. I've been looking for a replacement. I have looked at Thrush and hush master.
yxmj Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 That's the wider rusted out part of the exhaust Mr Oshel
Megadan Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I have a 30" length Maagnaflow oval muffler. Since I have no cat, but wanted my truck to not be obnoxious I ordered a larger bodies muffler. Sounds good, still audible, but not loud at all, and it sounds really good when I open it up.
Pete M Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 my 88 has a huge Borla. very subdued at idle, sounds great when the skinny pedal gets mashed into the carpet. :D
jeepsouth Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Two magnaflow magnapacks mounted inline ,no cat. Deep mellow tone. Had flowmaster 40 before,it was too hollow sounding for me.
johnj92131 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Any suggestions for what will be nice and quiet in a replacement muffler? My stock exhaust is suffering with some leaks. So it is time to replace it from stem to stern (perhaps the headers also).
JeepsOLot Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 Probably just the standard OEM Walker muffler will work for you.
Minuit Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I've heard that the Dynomax Super Turbo gives a stock-like but very slightly deeper sound.
xjustinx Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I have a Dynomax super turbo waiting to go in. I can't recommend the walker oem, mine blew out in less than 2 years. Rattles really bad.
JeepsOLot Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 I wished my phone would get better sound. I tried recording the sound from mine, but, the low tones didn't get recorded.
outlaw star Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Just ripped the Magnaflow off for a Thrush Turbo. I've outgrown loud exhausts and wanted something quieter. Hell, for 26, I couldn't pass it up.
ComancheKid45 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I run Flowtech Raptor mufflers on my trucks and run 18" glass packs in place of the cats.

So it is time to replace it from stem to stern (perhaps the headers also).I am using whatever basic muffler the muffler shop had when he replaced everything from the manifold back. My theory is when the muffler goes, the rest of the exhaust system is on its way out. $150 for everything from the manifold back, less the cat and installed, is hard to pass up. Plus it is very quiet, the way Jeep motors are supposed to be.

Hell, for 26, I couldn't pass it up I love my Magnaflow, but it is a big one. That's what I love about Magnaflows though, size matters. No droone at all in my truck, nice deep smooth exhaust note, but when I get on it, you hear it.

I wasn't fond of it.

I wasn't fond of it. Well, I also have a straight 6. With that big body on the muffler (28" oval case) it's pretty deep, and when I get on it, it sounds like a 6 pot should sound.
JeepsOLot Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 Yeah, I'm sure that MagnaFlow works great behind a 4.0, but the 4cyl's, not so much.
outlaw star Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I have a 4cyl. You heard how obnoxious it could get Jerry. Lol
