Out of the ones you listed I would go with thrush. If you just want a little more sound then I would do as your planning. Go cheap. Don't spend 80 bucks on a muffler that sounds good and performs better when the rest of your exhaust is a cork. I think you will be happy with the thrush muffler.
If you still have single exhaust & are on a tight budget, A single inlet,dual outlet muffler would be a good choice for increased flow & sound.This is what many exhaust shops add to late model vehicles to give dual exhaust sound while retaining the front crossover/cats.
I really like the Thrush turbos, not familiar with their welded. The turbos sound good and they're cheap, about $25 apiece.
Ok i think im gonna go with the thrush but im not sure welded or turbo.. does the turbo have the raspy ricer sound or a nice deep tone to it.. thanks everyone for the help... all this would be much easier if i were a millionaire and didnt care were my money went...lol
The raspy ricer sound comes mostly from the engine. 4cyl motors fire 4 times per revolution, a V-8 fires 8, which creates the different sound. Ricer mufflers that sound like fart cans are not turbo mufflers....but usually flow through can types. Turbo mufflers will give ya a nice mellow tone, without a lot of rumble or pop. They just arent my style...I prefer the deeper sound that you get from less restrictive glass packs.mysons80elcamino said:
The Thrush turbos are pretty deep and mellow. I usually use Flowmasters and I like their signature sound, but the Thrush turbos were all they had in stock for cheap when I needed them, I wasn't disappointed in their sound.
So i went with the thrush turbos, i had planned on the thrush since that was the most recommended but i was going to go with the welded just from hearing the sound clips on their website. Well the parts store didnt have the welded in my size so i went with the turbo and i can say im not disapointed. It now has a nice mellow roar at idle, and a nice tone while driving without being loud and obnoxious.. could be just a little bit louder on accelleration but im happy. THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THE HELP, MY SON NOW LIKES THE SOUND OF HIS SMALL V8.
