Has anyone used seen or heard the edelbrock mufflers? Are they any good. How do they sound? I want to go to 2 a
1/2 inch. I also need a line a a good exhaust shop in the Detroit area
Thanks

they are modeled after Flowdisasters. Flowmasters flow like crap and suck up horsepower. Look for a Magnaflow, or some other muffler you can see straight through. The longer ones are surprisingly quiet.

Good Luck!

both Bassani and Magnaflow. PM me and I'll try to steer you to a good muffler guy.

I used them on a 416 FE and the drone was awful at cruising speed. I prefer magna flows, great power and nice sound. Also like the DynoMax race magnums

I really like my Split Flow Edelbrocks. Ive had them on my '68 F-250 since I rebuilt the engine and that was 13 years ago. I dont even know if they still make 'em or not. They are (were ) fiberglass filled and split into two seperate chambers inside. Truck is used daily in salty Ohio winters.

I never noticed "droning" inside but the tailpipes are quite a ways back. I let my Dad drive it and I like them and so does he.

Heres a short video to let you hear them. I know its a goofy video and the truck is ugly, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

GOOD mufflers! The new Flow-disaster wanna-bees are a serious downgrade from what they had.

They look like a standard race muffler with a divider down the middle. You'd probably want to stick with a Magnaflow or something. Some of these split flow mufflers are very short and small in diameter.... meaning they would be loud. Lood for the longest, biggest Magnaflow style muffler you can effectively fit under the car for maximum flow and acceptable sound levels.

Good Luck!

For an X to work, you can't just run one pipe through another. If you do, you simply force ALL the exhaust to go through the area of ONE pipe. When a proper X pipe is made, the area of the merge is GREATER than the area of one pipe, so it's not a huge obstruction. Using a muffler such as the mentioned (pictured below) would result in MASSIVE horsepower losses.

They simply ran one pipe through the other, creating a MAJOR obstuction.

You've been warned....

Hi Tim,

Look at the Thermal Research mufflers.I think these are the ones to use.

After months of research on Hookers,Magnaflow,Borla,Dynomax,Edelbrock;no muller came close to the Thermal Research.

Thanks and good luck
