I need a quieter 2 into 1 muffler

[Hank_]

I love the sound of my BC Bronco 2 into 1 exhaust however it is quite hard to carry on a conversation while driving down the road. Does anyone have a recommendation for a quieter muffler. I don't want silence but less sound would be good.

q Walker Quietflow 21400. Basically the Walker "generic" version of a Chevy and GMC truck muffler for their 350-454 70's-90's trucks so it allows plenty of flow (I needed something for a 347). Not too quiet, not too loud.

I installed it with my BC 2:1 and BC headers. You can get an idea here, although it's a little drown out from the fan:

Walker makes a Quiet Flow muffler I've been told is pretty good. I also considered the muffler and resonator for a Lincoln Navigator. I know they are very quiet.

I love magnaflow's.

I have a 2 into 1 on my 71 w/ stock 302, it has a nice rumble, but never gets too loud by any means. I have driven it 2+ hours and it never got old... granted i run topless all the time...

I have dual magnaflows on my 07 charger w/ aftermarket duals and same thing, rumbles, but never loud/ obnoxious

+1 on magnaflow, I have a 2 into 1 setup with an 18in magnaflow and it sounds great and is a very reasonable volume

I have the BC set up on my dads bronco 289 / 2 into one. soundss fine. I wonder how it will sound with 420 cubic inches going thru it.

Hank, I have the Quiet flow on mine.... still sounds like a V-8, but more like a stock pick up. Very happy with it but it's not small... Had a shop in Dearborn do the fab to my long tube headers... All stainless, was around $150-200 for the work. (plus the muffler). Tenneco makes the Walker exhaust, it might even be made in Michigan but I can't be sure of that...

Every time I hear a Cherry Bomb Vortex muffler I say that is my next muffler.
Killer rumble and no DRONE on the highway....

What bax is going to top his trip to SC 15 in 16 and make a grand entrance by having the bronco air lifted in.

The BC muffler is a fairly short Magnaflow muffler. Magnaflow makes 2 of the same type of muffler, just longer and therefor quieter. If you like the sound, these might work for you.

Thanks for all the tips. I see they make it in a 22" version and seems to have good reviews. I may take a look at the longer Magnaflow. I don't want to quite, just looking for the right combo.

Here's my write-up of the Walker installation with pictures so you can see how big it is.
