Muff. length vs loudness

[kgillyk5]

Physics 101:

Looking at a new muffler and want to know if there is any relation between length and loudness. These are identicle 3"-in and 3"-out mufflers. Would a shorter muffler be louder since there is less of it to do the job.

This is for a Dynomax Super Turbo Muffler - looking at these two:

289-17744:
In/Out: 3''
Body Length: 14''
Muffler Size: 4-1/2'' x 9-3/4''

289-17793:
In/Out: 3''
Body Length: 16''
Muffler Size: 5-1/2'' x 11''

Thanks

Depends if it is a straight through design, or if the exhaust goes around a few bends or not.

I've got a short little Flo Pro on my truck, and that thing has some serious rap to it when you get on the loud pedal. Sounds like a nascar at 5000 rpm, lol

That title is hillarious ha ha

sorry, back in the lounge i go...

 

[BranndonC]

I didnt even think about that! Ha, yeah I guess your overall length determines how loud the muff is! haha

 

[hi pinion]

u take L+d+w and then ! **** im stoned ?

All other factors being equal, with two mufflers of the same design the longer one will be quieter.

I've always been kinda partial to no Muff at all

100% agree

I find that it isn't so much the lenght as much as it is how hard you ride it.

Thats a little queer but maybe not gay.

He he, just like the master had planned, the lounge is spreading into the Garadge like a zoo!

MUFF! j/k

Have fun with that, i was toasted on like alot of beers when i did this .

My truck is actually straight piped... I'm looking for a stock muffler from a newer truck to take out all the noise, which I'm sick of. I want my truck to be able to be stealthy. Will I loose all that much horsepower with a stock style muffler? The straight pipes were cool, but now they're old.. So yeah, I guess I kinda want a MUFFler
thanks,
James

Shaved muffs are the loudest!

 

[duece21]

I like the red muffs myself, but shaved is cool too

 

[surpip]

Bwa hahahaha! I can't stand an old crusty muff. Hangin by a thread ot the dignity it once had, knowing sooner or later it will be lying on the side of the road.
