Turn downs vs. cut offs.

chadscharged50 · April 1st, 2008, 01:36 PM

Was wondering between having turn downs or having it cut right after the muffler, which of these sounds better? I have a 5.0

With turn downs, the ground tends to absorb some of the sound. However, there's nothing like cranking it up next to someone who has a sensitive car alarm...really a ground pounder. Plus it does tend to kick up dust since they're basically against the ground (which can be a cool effect). I've had both and really don't notice a huge difference, besides the effects previously mentioned. Are they charging more for turndowns?

Well i had the turn downs installed for like 10.00 more. Maybe its the mufflers, i had a 5.0 before and it sounded louder. I think the muffelrs are ttwo chamber or three chamber or something, cause its not that loud for having no cats, shorties, h pipe.

I think there flows, but the muffler is pretty big.

hmm, strange, I've never had a problem with flows before. Perhaps it was the way they were mounted...or maybe the welder bent the pipe wrong...
