New mufflers

[bronconut73]

After a few months and miles, still really quiet.
Prolly too quiet for you hard core fellers.

I've got a car with loud exhaust. Not really wanting that for the Bronco. This may be a good option. Thanks for updating this so we could see it!

Flowmaster 50's, even with full length headers are much quieter than I expected.

I am liking it. You only hear them when I "really" get on it, and I mean "really, really" get on it, so it is easy, to keep it quiet.

Anyway, very happy all this time later.

bronconut73 - "Still Quiet" They are a Chambered Muffler. With nothing to blow-out and corrode eventually, they should sound the same for years to come.

I also really like the Flowmaster Super 50 with a 2-into-1 configuration. Nice mufflers!

 

[bronconut73]

True,
But I completely tore apart and re-welded my exhaust pipes back together.
Rather proud of myself.
So part of my love of the quiet is my welds and hangers are holding up.

Yup, love the 50's.

Prolly wouldn't have 20 years ago though.....

Great thread. Trying to decide between dual 50's and Super 44's. It's a toy for me and not a DD. I want to hear it a bit...

Go to YouTube and look up "Delta" 40's.
You can listen to them there.

The term delta refers to them adding an additional chevron/deflector. This reduces interior drone but keeps the exhaust decibels up to Flowmaster standards.

I switched from dual 44's to the delta 50's. I hated the 44's, they were good for about 30 seconds and then they were just annoyingly loud. I still don't have my exhaust finished with the 50's but it is much better with little to no drone. With the 44's you couldn't have a conversation with the passenger.

I have 3 chamber magnaflows and love the sound, no drone what so ever at cruising speeds. also, they fit above the bottom of the frame rails and cant be seen from standing beside the Bronco. something that just annoys me for some reason

Well...it's been over a year since I posted this.

These babies are uber quiet. Never would have believed how quiet. But noticeably better flow than my Thrush mufflers.

Almost too quiet but I like it.
People often look under the eb and are shocked at the size of the muffler and how it looks so gnarly but it's so quiet.

Delta 50's have really grown on me.

 

[bronconut73]

Wow it's been 3+ years for the Delta 50's.
Rest of my exhaust is Duff dual exhaust and long tube headers that I have had for about 30 years...

So a Delta 50 update,

Still love the Flowmaster Delta 50's.
I may rebuild my exhaust one day (with Duff exhaust parts of course, duh, lol) but I believe I will be re-using my Delta 50's.
They are that good.
Kind of big though. I made it work. You can too.

Pretty sure the one I have on my '68 is a 40-series. I'll have to check the receipts that Doug kindly supplied with the rig!
It's a 2.5" single though, so different. Louder than I would have chosen, but has that great sound with no drone.
Which is surprising given that there isn't much in this tin can to stop it if it wanted to.

It does have Raptor Liner though, which though not strictly a sound-deadener, should have changed the "tone" of the body at least somewhat.

Thanks for keeping us updated.

[bronconut73]

Wow....
5.5 years since I put the Flowmaster "Delta" 50's on the eb...
Still really quiet for long tube headers and dual exhaust.
Still no drone.

I have driven to and from Supercel from Orlando a few times too. Even at 80 on the highway its not too bad. Still can hear the radio and talk on the phone....well the talking on the phone is marginal at 80mph on the highway. Its in a Ram mount on speaker so its hands free but still....

So if you're old like me and want your exhaust to sound cool but "adult-cool"...haha then,
Flowmaster Delta's are the way to go for unsurpassed flow and little drone.
Next update in 5 years, lol.

Steve in Orlando.

What brand full length headers are you running?
