Summit Performance Turbo Mufflers?

[Terkish]

Has anyone tired the Summit Performance Turbo Mufflers?
I'm looking for afordability and was wondering what they sound like?
Reading the discription they seem very close to a magnaflow or flowmaster.
I would perfer Flowmaster but like i said afordability, and flowmaster is not in the budget.
thanks for any info.

I think I had some on my 66 mustang. Duals with hooker long tube headers. they sounded good & were not too loud at idle, only when you stuffed your foot into it.

I have Ford motorsports shorty headers, 2 into 1 exhaust that is all 2.5" going into a summit "flowmaster" knock off muffler. It sounds pretty good. Not as loud as some of the flowmasters that I have had in the past, but it has a decent idle sound and is noticable for sure when you're foot is in it.

For the price, I figured, what the hell and tried it out. I like it so far.

I have both sets: the turbo style on a 76 i'm doing for the sife and kids, and the welded style on my rockcrawler. The turbo's are super quiet, only getting noisy if you really gas it, the welded style produce a nice rumble at idle and only get better the more you mash on it. Both of these mufflers are behind long tube headers. Even had 2 different girls tell my wife that the sound of the welded mufflers gave them goose bumps when I had it wailing at about 5 grand on some rocks!!

I ran a set in the late 90's on a '77 with long tubes-posts are exactly what I experienced-Quiet at idle until you "mash on it". Great price as well. I removed them shortly after install when the '77 got a make over!! I think I still have the pipe and muf in my garage-too bad you are in UT

I have them and also on a system with Hooker long tube headers. I like them very much. Nice good sound and they get loud when you hit the gas hard. For the price you wont find any as good IMO.

Thanks everyone, i think the Summit is the why i will go.
Think i'm leaning toward the fully welded muffler now lol.

I had the Summit house brand tubos back in '93 on a set of headmans dumping in front of each rear wheel. Did nice from what I remember.

I don't recall how many different brands summit may have but I bought the summit ones that are a knock off of the flow masters. It was so long ago when I bought them I can not recall anything else about them. I heard them on a buddy's car and loved them. They had a deeper tone to them than the flowmasters at idle which I liked. Here's a link to my old mustang that had them.

 

[Terkish]

Thats good to hear. The deep tone at idle is what i like. ;D

I had a set of "flowsound" muffs on my last bronco they sounded good at idle and when you would stand on it. They cost about $40.00 a piece on ebay.

I run the fully welded summit mufflers on mine with long tube headers they sound pretty good to me not as loud as some of the others but good when the skiny peadal is mashed I get a lot of head turns wth them. They also seem to be holding up way better than the turbo mufflers dont know why but the turbos alway seem to come apart where the inlet goes into the case on my bronco.

 

[broncomitch]

i had them on my f250 with a fe 360, 3'' front to back and it sounded SWEEEET! big time rumble and sounded fantastic!

im running the cherry bomb turbo muffler on my bronco, i paid 20 bucks for it from autozone. after it broke in it's got a good sound its not loud nore has a big rumble, but sounds way good and has a softer rumble and screams wide open.

 

[Terkish]

Is any one running a H-pipe or X-pipe? and what size pipe? 2 1/4, 2 1/2?

 

[ugly74]

I have those exact mufflers on my dodge (360) and they do sound okay. they seem to have a higher tone than real flowmasters do.

I do have an H pipe on my eb. 2.25" pipes. it's immediately behind the header collectors, and has a 25* bend to run under the front yoke of the Tcase. I made it a "bolt in", so I can remove just the H. (still a pain in the butt)

I have the summit $17 mufflers on mine.

They sound pretty good. Kind of raspy.

Although, I think I am going to change them for something quieter.
