What are the options for 3" mufflers/catback systems with dumps? I am looking for something that will make good power but is not obnoxiously loud.

Mac offers a reasonably priced solution :-D

I'd love to see what your car would sound like with long tube headers, Dr. Gas shorty x-pipe, Dynomax race bullets, and a set of turndowns..... But that would break the "obnoxiously loud stipulation :shock: ;)

I would go with dyno max utlra flows. You could make you own cat back dump system.

eric, i ran mac longtubes, mac prochamber and mac dumps (all 3 inch) on my 95 and i loved the way it sounded. not loud at all at lower rpm's and it had a nice deep sound at wot. the only issue i had is the mac headers get a lot of surface rust, but mine were not coated or anything.

I didn't think you could get ultraflows in 3". If you can that means I spent alot of money on 2.5s for no good reason.

I know you can get the dynomax race bullets, but they are def loud.

Ahh, the 3" muffler delimma. I want a reasonably quite exhaust and will be running custom 3" tailpipes. I originally bought 3" Hooker Aero-chambers, but later decided I needed to go with a straght-through design, not to mention the Aero-chambers are very heavy and bulky. So after some research and a call to Borla I decide on 3" Borla XS Pro's, very nice muffler except they neglected to tell me that they neck down to 2 1/2" next to the muffler on the inlet and outlet :mad: even though I informed them the car would be making 700+ hp. After more research I narrow it down to the Borla XR-1 Race muffler or Dynomax ultra-flo's. After more research and sound clips I decided on the Borla XR-1's along with Dynomax race bullets as a resonator. Should be running soon.....8)

THe Dynomax Ultraflow. I have seen between 8RWHP and 12 RWHP on big CI NA cars. And a turbo car uppwards of 18 RWHP.


A very quite muffler with little to NO back press.

My car makes 675 RWHP thur an AOD with these mufflers.

I am wanting to try the Flowmaster 3" system(full exhaust,no dumps) minus the mufflers.With either borlas or ultra flos in thier place.I just wonder how it fits,clearance issues and all.I run a UPR non off road X-pipe and ultra flo SS catback but with the turbos I think I could use the extra flow of a 3" system.
