Muffler choice

[70 tt rustang]

Iam at the end of my project it's a 70 mustang with a 427w with 588. Lift. I am doing the exhaust i have kooks headers iam planning on doing 3" ss to an xpipe and dumping out the side in front of the rear wheels. My question is what mufflers should I use? I don't want drone or it to be too loud being so close the my door. I've heard borla, magna flow, kooks, Flowmaster? Iam just really unsure at this point. Thanks for the help

I like my magnaflows

I have never in my life heard so much as a single complaint about Borlas on a windsor motor.

Lol that seem a little to loud for my taste. All most seems like open headers lol. What combo are you running?

I like my magnaflows

Any kind of drone? Are you running a universal muffler from them or their race series?

There's a lot of hype on the new Black Widow Brand also especially on Instagram. Loud and mean like Flowmaster without the drone. A lot of builds running them lately. Just depends what you're after ultimately.

If that's too loud for ya you don't wanna know my set up. :lol:

I prefer Spintech and run them when I can. Here was one of my previous setups behind a 377 SBC:

That's what Brian Hobaugh is running.... and I like their sound on his car(s).

A Windsor is not going to sound anything like an LS with the same muffler.

Yep totally understand that. Just worried about the pitch and drone. Iam leaning towards black widow. Borla is a little too loud and Magna flow is too quiet I think but we will see tomorrow at the muffler shop I'll hear the MF mufflers he's a dealer for them.
Thanks for the help

I had 3" Flowmasters, and they were Racecar loud!! Inside and outside. I have put on Dynomax Super Turbos, and MUCH better, much nicer sound but still noisy when you push the go-pedal. Very nice sound I think, a bit "beefy" sound, some drone, but like an Cadillac compared to the Flowmasters..

I think that big cubes, cam and compression, is hard to keep noise down with 3" exhaust or just 2 mufflers.

I'm running these "mufflers".... haven't heard it yet but can't wait. Getting close.

437 cubes
13:1 compression
264/274 @ .050 cam

Should make some noise.

Another point is what is loud or obnoxious to one might be sweet sweet music to another.

I had a set of Flowmaster 50 series on my 1968 Mustang Convertible. They sounded fine but the drone killed me. I got rid of them and went to a set of Magnaflow mufflers. They soud quite a bit louder but nice. They have a raspy sound to them when you get into it. My car has a supercharged 333 SBF. I like them but my wife says they are too loud and can hear me from a mile away when I come home.

They make earplugs for that I think. :D

Complaints like that are why they have divorce courts.

Discussions like this one is kinda like asking what color lipstick, or nail polish looks best on a chick. There's just too many opinions to gather for usable data.

I use Flowmaster mufflers. Yeah, they drone, but I like the sound otherwise. Bought my first set in 91' which was before some guys on here were born. I'm old school, and I use what works for me. The last two builds in my shop for others, not me...one had Magnaflow, and one went with Summit turbo mufflers. I say, run what YOU like.
