Compact Muffler Ideas

[frankenyoter]

I am looking for ideas for a compact muffler for my trail rig. I plan to have the exhaust dump out just past the skid for the tranny/t-case. Being that I have an inline six I don't really need a loud muffler and in fact less rumble will be easier on me wheeling all day.

Any ideas on what to use?

I used a flowmaster hushpower muffler, and the sound was good and the muffler was small.

I used a flowmaster 20 series one chamber on my sammi, the noise is awful, but it is compact!! I actually crimped the tail section to quieten it down, do not go that route!!
I used a 40 series on my tracker with a resonator in front of it and it is not bad at all, but the 40 is about 14" long, but on a six i may would opt for a turbo style muffler to keep the drone out

I did just what your talking about on my Toyota,I went to local muffler shop and ask if I could look at the stock room because this was not going to be a stock replacement and they helped me find one that worked perfect! It was a turbo 14" long and thin ,tucked up tight above frame rail! Good Luck with your project! (Also cost less than $30.00 )

mmmm

been running a turbo and may just keep it. I plan to cut the cat out and weld the muffler in its place.

Your floor pan needs to be free of holes or you will get more exhaust fumes than you would like!

I used a Moroso spiral core muffler when I did my long arms. It was very reasonable on the sound level. I did however still have the cat. converter hooked up.
No problems at all having a conversation while driving around or on the highway. It was much quieter than I expected.

Currently my exhaust dumps just before the rear axle and its not bad. Its only about 18" less if I ditch the cat. If the fumes are an issue I will run it back further.

These work great. I've used them on tons of jeeps. Fairly quiet, no drone and look clean. It appears that speedway motors has quit stocking them, I normally use the flat black version which is like 100 bucks cheaper but I cant find them on their site. I'm sure you could find them somewhere.

Mike lemme know if I need to set you up with my muffler guy.
I have learned that he can do what I want for less than I would pay for parts and his work is great.

Custom Exhaust and Brake on Patton Ave has cheapo bullet style glasspacks. They are pretty short and small diameter. I have ran them on many 4.0 Jeep engine sin the past. Quiet and easy to package.
Ask for Jim. Tell him I sent ya

'auger' style mufflers are good (like the moroso)

Round MagnaFlow called a Magna Pack.

I may need to do that.

This weekend I cut off the Dynapro muffler and am just running the cat as of now. My skid plate is made and if I go with a full size muffler I may not be able to pull the tranny with it in. That may be where the MagnaPack of a glass pack comes into play.
