What are all the in line 6 guys using for mufflers?
I'm about to put the Clifford Performance headers & their x-pipe on my 250 straight six & was wondering what kind of mufflers make that motor sound muscular & throaty. I'm not looking for real loud just a nice rumble.

Re: What are all the in line 6 guys using for mufflers?
We had assembled the whole truck in 24hrs with seven guys to put it in a local show. A requirement was to have an exhaust system in order to attend. The muffler shop at the time ( 1999 ) had only two resonators for an International Farm tractor. We decided to chase duals from the 3-1 headers to the resonators under the cab and out the back of the rear drivers side tire as in the style of the original inline exhaust tip location using 2 1/4" pipe.
2009 we decided to install the Dyno-Max X muffler. It changed the sound from the rasp of the resonators to a smoothed out sound. I did prefer the sound of the old resonators over the Dyno-Max X. I'm going to try adding a second Dyno-Max X to see if it can muffle the sound at idle. The single Dyno-Max X is to loud. Video soundtrack has the Single Dyno-Max. |

Re: What are all the in line 6 guys using for mufflers?
I've used the dual inlet/dual outlet Dynomax mufflers on previous customer dual exhaust inline 6s with excellent results. A friend of mine recently also used them on his 292 ci conversion and really likes the sound attenuation level while still keeping the aggressive note, and has no drone.

A turbo tube muffler the exhaust shop had in stock. Sounds good.

Re: What are all the in line 6 guys using for mufflers?
Summit flowtech headers into a pair of 2' cherry bombs followed by 4' of pipe-sounds like a harley, nice and loud, no drone, puts a smile on my face every time I turn the key.

Re: What are all the in line 6 guys using for mufflers?
Check out Borla ATAK, SLP Loudmouth 1, Bassani, Magnaflow Magnapacks, & Corsa. Chamberd mufflers sound different than canaster style. Canaster style sound better to me on I6 & V6. The smaller the Muffler HOUSING (Height & Width) the greater the exhaust sound. The larger HOUSINGS emit quieter exhaust notes.

Re: What are all the in line 6 guys using for mufflers?
I've got a old Dodge Caravan muffler on mine, the exhaust is a little cobbled but its pretty quiet. Still has a nice thump and rumble though.
