I searched and have found nothing on this subject. Is there any muffler that will make the exhaust quieter than stock? Or is stock about as quiet as I can possibly get it?

 

I had a thrush turbo muffler from summit on my truck for a short period of time and I couldnt tell my truck was running. No one heard me coming. Had it mainly for deer season last year.

 

thats cool id love to have something that was dead silent from like 0-2800 rpms or so and then 2800 to 6000 to sound like str8 pipes :P would be cool imo.

 

So the Thrush turbo muffler is only really quiet at idle and cruse speeds? is it loud on acceleration?

 

I might have to check out that thrush turbo muffler. I want my truck to be as quiet as possible, so not being able to tell if the truck was running would be pretty nice.

 

Just use your stock muffler and add a elctronic opening cut out berfore the muffler and flip the switch at 3000rpm.

 

It was a thrush turbo muffler with a 14'' long case with 2in inlet and 2in outlet with a turndown and you could hear the fan over the exhaust all the way to redline.

 

With my OEM muffler I cant even hear it at all, just the intake.

 

So this is the one you had?

That looks like it, its the same price so it should be. I got the box around here somewhere.

 

Well I might have to try that out. So did you have the stock exhaust running all the way to the muffler, then just had a turndown coming out of it after that? Or did you have an actual exhaust shop put in new pipes and everything?

 

I put it on by myself. I cut my stock muffler off then welded in on with the factory pipe and had just a 45 degree piece on the outlet tacked on. Had it held up by a coat hanger, man was I cheap back then.

 

Okay. I'll just have to look where the inlets/outlets are on the stock muffler so I know if I need to buy one with an offset or centered inlets/outlets.

 

I used the offset one. (I didnt look before ordering) and I had heck installin it due to it wanting to hit the driveshaft. Your exhaust should be routed the same way as mine was. Should being the key word. I cut it of right where it started to bend going into the muffler and left the pipe alone where it was straight, then just welded the new muffler on.

 

I just went and looked and mine has an offset inlet and an offset outlet.

 

Then yours should be easier to route then mine.

 

quiet exhaust?!?!?!

WTF!!!!

Cherrybombs FTW!!!!

 

Was just going ask WTF the OP would want a quieter exhaust.......but for hunting, that makes perfect sense.

 

Yea thats the only reason I wanted a quiet truck. Now, I just walk further and have a loud truck.

 

lol :) I usually walk anyways as I don't have 4x4

 

Mines not 4wd but sometimes I swear it thinks it is. lol

 

Or my reason...just tired of exhaust systems that can be heard a mile away. 2 loudest exhausts I've had were on a '64 Chevelle with a built 283 (actually a dirt track engine run on the streets) with headers & cherry bombs dumped before the axle. And the other was an '02 Kenne Bell SC'ed Mustang with lots of bolt-ons, O/R x-pipe and Borla Stinger cat-back exhaust.
