Default Re: Muffler recomendations?

I really like the fit of the Flowmaster American Thunder system. I also like the exterior sound and in fact changed the mufflers to the slim line 50 series to attenuate the resonance/drone inside the car. Its better but not to my satisfaction. I may switch out the mufflers to those mentioned above. BTW I get comments all the time how awesome the car sounds from the outside. Again even with 50 series its still annoying on the inside. My fix is to turn up the volume on the factory 8 track and take in the hi fidelity sounds of the 8track and drown out the drone [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img].

Steve,
I tried the same, but those damn Norwood Assembly Line folks decided not to put a radio in the Yellow Car! (snik-snik)

Well I took Sammy's recommendation and tossed the Flowmaster mufflers and replaced them with Dynomax Super Turbo's, and wow what a difference. No drone, sounds healthy at idle and come alive when you get on it. Just a pleasure to drive now...
