Dynomax Super Turbo

Hey guys, I've been reading some of the exhaust threads and many of you seem to think that the Dynomax Turbo mufflers sound best on a 3800 but I have also heard they are on the quiet side.

So my question for people who have these on their Grand Prix is: are they loud enough to make it worth my time replacing the stock mufflers and are you happy with the exhaust note?
 


good question those are what I may be getting in the future. Lookin forward to hearing what others have to say
 
super turbos on a truck should be loud enough for you. you dont want to go with the ultra flos because those are a straight through muffler. very loud. only way i would put those on a gp is if u were using stock piping and stock downpipe. I have a 3" dp along with some engine mods that make the exhaust louder and im gonna stick with the super turbos if i stay with stock piping or if i upgrade 2.5". The super turbos will be good if you need to keep some backpressure in the system
 
i had super turbos, once i put in the catless downpipe the car got wayyy louder. im now back to stock mufflers with the TOG's and catless downpipe and i like it much much better. i also have a resonator. it depends on what you like the 3800 has a ****ty firing order so it will sound like crap with an open exhaust, i got tired of hearing the drone so i went back to stock mufflers
 


Heh...I had straight piped exhaust for a long time after my cam build...with the good 'ol Raspmasters, Pacesetters and 3" Piping...sounded REALLY sh**ty...

Keep the resonator...before even asking if you should take it out :p
 
so some super turbo dynomax mufflers with the stock or aftermarket resonator with a 3" down pipe should be decently loud but still sound good?
 
i really dont see super turbos being that much louder over stock with a 3" DP and a resonater. Even if it is louder, isnt that kinda what ya want? it would be stupid to get something the same loudness as the stock muffler with just a deep tone to it
 
Thanks for the input guys. I think i'm gonna try and pick some up tommorrow and get them installed and hopefully get a video up.
 
I didn't get the mufflers put on today the muffler shop quoted me $250.... I'm pretty sure they tried to rip me off. So I now have another question how much should it really cost?
 


the only mod I have is the K&N intake kit and no the worst part is I bought the mufflers from my local auto parts store and I was ecstatic because they only cost me $52 all together and then the muffler shop quoted me $250 for labor
 
Ok so I went to another muffler shop today and got my mufflers installed for a much more reasonable price of $120. I forgot to mention that I ended up going with the Thrush Turbo mufflers. They sound excellent during city driving with a nice deep tone. They are a little on the quiet side but are loud enough that they can clearly be heard in the cabin. As for under acceleration, I can't offer a review since I can't hear them over my intake :D
Oh and they hardly crackle at all when the engine is revved as opposed to the stock mufflers.

The type of muffler has NOTHING to do with what mods you have.

A buddy of mine put those on his '97 GTP and they sound pretty good. Then he took out the resonator and that was the end of that :(

Good deal on finding a better price. Now you can spend that money on other mods ;)
