datzenmike Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 $25 special. Other than that something with a sound that's agreeable to you. Loud is not power and wears thin after a while. Get something you can live with. 1 Quote Link to comment

DanielC Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I replaced the muffler and exhaust system on Ratsun, a 521 with a 2" pipe, and muffler. Used a Walker 17900 muffler. This page, in this thread. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/30606-my-ratsun-datsun-521/page-17 Quote Link to comment
Cpl620 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 had a flowmaster 40 series on mine. wanted to cut my ears off. Quote Link to comment
Colfax bee guy Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Sorry I agree with Mike. I can't stand a nice looking truck that sound like a loud lawn mower. Quote Link to comment
Guest Rick-rat Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I put on a cheap muffler on mine. not very noisy at all, I believe mine was a 19.95 special and it sounds OK. Went for the louder is better stage when I was a lot younger and got several tickets because of it Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I run a Flowmaster 40...1 3/4 pipe & a VW stinger..freakin love the tone.! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 It's all about what you feel right about. I don't know what a flowmaster cost but to pay so much and get sick of the noise doesn't make sense. You probably have some money in a sound system also.... might as well be able to hear it. Plus it doesn't release any 'hidden' power. Turbo or glass-packed muffler? as long as they are not straight through will be almost reasonable maybe with a resonator to cut the braaapp sound.

banzai510(hainz) Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 get the walker maybe upsize the pipe Thrush Dynomax Cherrybomb2 all make 2/ 3 chamber mufflers go with them. Flowmaster do not buy. any straight thru muffler with a Weber carb or stock carb is just a rosonance maker( sounds like a stock Honda with a can) I have a Dnomax super turbo and when cold is still loud. once warmed up its quieter) Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Worst there is are Flowbastards. Quote Link to comment
JoeCool Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I agree with the others, no need for the Flowmaster, Magnaflow, SLP, Corsa, Borla, or whatever other overpriced mufflers when Dynomax, Thrush, Cherry Bomb, etc does the same job for a lot less money. I used to own a Firebird Formula I drag raced. It killed me the idiots that paid way too much for their high dollar catback exhausts because they had more money than common sense. I bought a Dynomax glasspack and had the 3" piping custom mandrel bent, it sounded better and blew their doors off! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Making loud mufflers is like printing money. The louder, the more power you're packin'.... and people eat this shit up. 1 Quote Link to comment
JoeCool Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Yep, that is why all the Harley guys pay a lot for straight pipes! Quote Link to comment
