Muffler Decibel Test take-two - Stock, TD SuperQuiet, SanDale Hyperflow

[geez150]

Besides stock and a mod stock does anyone make one that is baffled vs. a packing type?

Not that I know of. I'd be interested to hear what a FlowMaster would sound like. On a V8, it's like music.

Friend bought a Motec Turbo Doo that had a Flow Master.

Extremely loud & looked, how shall we say, not so good / tacky.

He got rid of it quickly.

Steve, I saw this once in a cartoon and I'm pretty sure the physics will work, but I may need your help. I'll have my dog, son and daughter on line to help. My dog (and not just any dog, a German Shepherd) will hold the bumper in her teeth - allowing the track to spin and dig into the lawn as deeply as possible, thus placing full load on the engine for maximum sound at high rpm. My Son will stand next to my dog yelling motivational phrases like "there is no try, only do or do not." while dangling pupperoni treats above her head encouraging her to hold 270 Powertrail HP back, which she clearly can, unless a rabbit darts out during any off the tests. My daughter meanwhile will take a break from snapchating and instagramming just long enough to occasionally hit the dB app reset button and then restart the video camera while she of course is chewing gum. I'll need your help to pick up the chunks of sod from my front yard and put them back before my wife comes home.

Now if only we had a TD TurboForce to test as well . . .

I LOVE dogs.......and pepperoni

Yikes, I need to stay away from the keyboard when the cocktails are flowing.

A serious request for anyone in the Minneapolis area
If you have a TD TurboForce, OSP or a muffler I don't already have for this next test and you'd be willing to donate it for an hour - please let me know ASAP.

The more mufflers I can include in this, the more valuable it will be. NOS-Pro already did the best test possible on the Evo.

Thanks and stay tuned

I suggest red wine. It's good for your colon. Keep the inside clean because your wife is gonna beat your arse! If i didn't have a wedding this weekend, i'd fly out there to help you...and get a beer that you owed me at Haydays

Beerman,next time you do a test like this call me being i live and work 15 minutes from ya..then i will back your reviews

Marty, check your PM.

We have tested them all here and I'll save you a little trouble...

In order of quiet to loud in my opinion with a 1 out of 10 scale

stock (idle 1, cruise 1 WOT 1)
stock modified (idle 2 cruise 2 WOT 3)
Super quiet (idle 3 Cruise 4 WOT 6)
Hindle (idle 4 cruise 5 WOT 7)
Turbo Force (Idle 4.5 Cruise 5.5 WOT 7.5)
3" race pipe (Idle 6, Cruise 7 WOT 9)
3" straight pipe (Idle 7 Cruise 8 WOT 10)

As for the other choices sandale, evo etc... I have not tested them.

Your DB testing should confirm this, it would be nice to see how the other options fall into.

Hi Ben, thanks for your input - I have no doubt you're right! But you know us nerds, I'll still spend (waste?) the time to get the dB data and video clips. And then there will be much debate, discounting, arguing and after 87 additional posts pointing out what I should have done differently, agreement that we're all certifiably insane and all wishing and praying for a cold and snowy Winter.

Steve, I have a Peanut Butter Porter from F-Town brewery in MN, it isn't fair to the other beers. They're all jealous.

We need someone to make a muffler with a switch like on a boat to turn the baffles off that would be the best

I've seen one, but can't remember who made it. Maybe someone else will chime in.

The Ford Mustang GT’s have that. 2 outlets one is straight through with a servo controlled valve and the other one is baffled.

Both Evo and Precision I thought made one at some point

Do u sell the modified muffler and how much if so and in your opinion that's quieter than the hindle?
