Is anyone running dummped mufflers. i was curious on the differnce in sound between tailpipes and dumps.

I have Mac shorties, BBK O/R X-pipe, X303 cam, and force II flowmasters. I used to run full tail-pipes and it sounded like my friends 2003 ///M3 under WOT. Very raspy and kinda "tinny" I recently dumped the mufflers pre-axle and had turn-downs welded on it. It went from M3 to 60's big block (not really, but good comparison) got a LOT! deeper, and a LOT more resonant. The car resonates a bit now, but I dont care, its just a toy and its totally un-refined anyways.

mine are dumped right after the mufflers. they sound awsome, and i can feel the car vibrate because of how loud it is.

i dumped mine because my tail pipes were off somehow... they started to melt the plastic sheild around my fuel tank so i just chopped them off!

also, they are quiet enough at idle to be lined up next to a cop at a red light w/o them noticing

My car has 10.5:1 compression, X303 cam, and o/r exhaust dumped after force II's and I have NEVER! recieved ANY flack from the cops for it and I engine braked down by one on accident once, lol.

RE: dumped mufflers

Mine turn down just after the muffs too, flowmaster 2 chambers, and they sound good. Especially at idle, you can really hear the cam, and the one I have is mild. I like the sound better than pipes. I may change my mind when I get my BBK shorties and O/R h-pipe.

RE: dumped mufflers

you should definately dump your mufflers. I have bbk shorties, bbk o?r h pipe and two american thunder flows dumped right before my rear axle and i love the sound. It is much louder and deeper because the sound echos between the bottom of your car and the ground. you will also "feel" your car more when your mufflers are under the car. It's easier also...you don't have to deal with the axle.

RE: dumped mufflers

have had dumps with flowjunkers for a couple years now, and it is louder.
but when I put in my magnapacks pointed straight back it was almost like running open headers.
