Does anyone know a good, compact, small, muffler to use with the STS turbo kits on the NBS Tahoes?

I just want to hear the sound of the turbo loud, but not necessarily the exhaust grumble. Any suggestions?

 

I dont think the STS needs a muffler..

 

If you keep your cats, it probably isn't too loud (wasn't on my truck -- sounded like an aftermarket exhaust kit). With the cats off, I needed a muffler --

Check out a flowmaster series 10 race muffler -- 4 x 10 x 14

 

I don't have a muffler and i don't find it loud.

 

1 chamber flowmaster or a bullet.

 

What he said.

 

Like Erik sais, if you are running cats and using a base kit turbo I would run without a muffler. It's not very loud like that.

With a larger turbo and no cats a muffler is almost a MUST! I have a Magnaflow muffler after my turbo and I don't notice any loss in power but I loss almost all of the spool up noise from the turbo and it ends up sounding like my truck did N/A

I tried using a 1 chamber Flowmaster (pretty small muffler) and it sounded a lil better and you could hear more of the whistle but the drone on the highway sucked and I defiantely felt a power loss. I had the shop call Flowmaster and they said they dont have anything called a series 10 so I just got the 1 chamber. If there is such thing as a series 10 from Flowmaster could you please show me so I can rip into this muffler shop and make them swap mine out or something.

Ohh Erik, I think the reason you hear more whistle than me at part throttle is because of your larger motor spooling up the turbo faster.

BTW, what's up with your truck bro? I have not seen you online much. I hope all is well.

Ditto. If you get a muffler... make sure that Is a high flow one, like a one chamber
