Looking for some good sounding mufflers that resemble the flow master sound, space is tight so I'm looking for some round style mufflers. No I'm not growing my mullet back and running glass packs, the race mufflers look to be loud, exhaust will dump out right behind seats so I don't want it super loud. Found some options on eBay but no good reviews on sound. People just say bad ass. So what's everybody running

glasspacks

I don't see how you're going to end up happy based on your requirements. Flowmaster signature sound, cheap, small diam bullet, somewhat quiet. Something has to give.
I suspect that if it MUST be a small round muffler then it won't sound like a Flow & it will be super loud. And headers will just make it worse.

Well no offense but I'm surely not gonna spend 400 bucks on the mufflers you suggested. I don't wheel a shiny nice rig, it's a beat to **** hacked together Yj, it had some sorta cherry bomb style muffler on it before that wasn't horrible but I just wanted something cheap and different but thank you very much for the info you gave :dblthumb:

i put a flowmaster super 10 on my 4.0 not much different than no muffler

Quick update, I went with the flowmaster fx mufflers, really happy with em, very well made and pretty small and sound great, they are quiet cruising around but when ya stand on it they come to life, got quite a few compliments on how well it sounds. For 30 bucks a piece they are a great deal

If it is like mine it is louder on the inside than outside. The resonance in unreal

You're exactly right. At 2-2500 RPM's, you can't hear yourself think

That's why my little 2.5L powerhouse has got a stock replacement muffler on it......nice and quite!

Not really cheap but the flow master DBX series is nice and can talk to the other people in the rig

What motor do you need mufflers for?

Funny you say that. There was a guy rolling around aop this past weekend in a black and orange buggy that was wearing headphones because his own rig is so insanely loud. I honestly don't see the point in that.
