@@hotrodray6802 their design are reminiscent of iconic Japanese mufflers and exhaust where much stainless steel fabrication is used. Usually seen installed on “time-attack” circuit-racing cars or drifting
This is exactly the video I needed! Perfect! I needed to know how much a vibrant ultra quiet will quiet the exhaust as I have high hp 6.2L With long tubes, with a proseries flowmaster I specifically choose the proseries for sound and the fact it doesn’t hurt hp values like other flowmaster chambered series do. But its about 15 decibels too loud. After watching your video I see the Vibrant Ultra Quiet will do exactly as I need thanks!
Tried so many mufflers. But straight pipes so much better. It also depends on your motor and what's been done to it as well. Great video. Thanks for all the hard work to put this together
Damn even on old schools I think I prefer the sound of the flow fx. Those cherry bombs sounded sick also. Great exhaust video probably one of the more comprehensive ones i've watched.
Thanks! With the window down and driving in the left lane against a concrete barrier the Cherry Bomb was causing ear drum damage. I like loud pipes, but not when I have a headache after a cruise :) I'm currently running the FlowFX but will probably switch to the Vibrant to reduce the cackle.
Well done. Straight pipes sounded better than I thought they would. Give SpinTech a try. Have these on a 5.0L Coyote, Chevy 4.3L V6 & Ford 3.0L V6. Also had one on a 2016 5.3L Chevy. Unique sound to them.
Sweet car. My friend had a 1970 cobra jet 429 when I was younger. Always one of my favorite body styles. No other car quite like these beautiful Torinos.
An H or X pipe will help tone it down a bit, and add torque. You could also run 2 pairs of mufflers, the FlowFX in the middle and the Vibrant in the rear as resonators. Both are straight through so it won't cost any power.
@@suped89 very good comparison! Thank you for the DB meter! Nobody think about that... Can't wait to see the updated video! It would be interesting to see these vibrant in conjonction with additional mufflers on old school engines. not easy to find this kind of setup on youtube. I just got my Pontiac 461Ci rebuild and I don't know how to reduce the db level and still keep the distinctive old school rumble we all love.
73 Chevelle Damn, my Grandma had a 73 Chevelle Malibu Classic Station Wagon. It was quite a Boat. Spent Many a years in the back of that Wagon, sitting Backwards with No Seatbelts for years, as a child with my cousin taking family road trips outta state all the time. Will never forget that Car, it was Green too.
This is a great video and test. My choice would be the quietest. What would be really cool is if you included stock mufflers. I think many would be surprised at the sound of stock duels.
Dynomax Turbos or Macs Quick Flows, Walker used to make a stainless steel straight through tuned mufflers, don't think they make them anymore, or Magna Flow straight throughs.
Excellent. Just what I needed I'm trying for the quietest with little restriction. Thinking Dynomax Super Turbo designed by David Vizard OR Magnaflow. Glass packs continuously get louder with miles. Might do muffs and resonators. 🤔
I’m a traditionalist, so cherry bombs or straight pipe is the way to go. I have straight pipes on our 71 Charger and cherry bombs on our 67 Impala both sound pretty good compared to a Tesla, Prius, and and E Mustang!
I love all of them.. How ever i wish you would have tried the old school turbo tube chamber mufflers also... Ones that look like the dented up glasspacks
Had Those Turbo Tubes Years Ago, Those (Dented Up Looking Type Long Chambered Mufflers) bought a Complete Cat Back 2 1/4" Exhaust for a 5.0 Fox Body Mustang, Paid $99 Brand New, Back in 1995. Sounded Great for $99. I didn't even know they still Made Those.
@@mr9c1driver59 Flowmaster mufflers Sound great, But have Horrible Flow Ratings, just Look into the Inlet of any Chambered Flowmaster, Exhaust goes right into a Wall, Now how is that supposed to be good ?
@@mr9c1driver59 Check out the Dynomax Ultra Flo,s Straight Thru design and All Stainless Steel. I really like em. Mine were Kinda Loud but we're 3 1/2" Mufflers With 3 1/2" Pipes exiting right before Rear Tires, Pointing out the Sides. That was on a N/A BBF that put down Little Over 600 to the Wheels. Had the Ultra Flo,s on a Much Milder Set-up, with Tailpipes, and they Sounded Great.
@@suped89 Sorry, I didn't mean there's a brand new product to test out, I was referring to a comment of yours from a year ago about a bigger Vibrant product you had installed that you said was perfect and you might post a video of it. That's what I was hoping for 🤘
I wish I still had my Torino's I had 3 GT,s 4 regular one brom,one 4 door all at the same time shssss what a mistake had a 429 liked the 351C was a better road Racer
I just bought 2 Hot Tamales by Paradox. Currently have glasspacks, 2 on each side. My dad built the car, 1971 MGB with a 302 FSB 40 over and many other modifications. Have you heard of the Hot Tamales?
Nice Torino, the 70 Torino Cobras with the 429 Cobra Jets are my Favorite, and Very Good video of a Muffler Comparison. Glad not to see a Flowmaster in your choices, they Always seem to Sound Good, But have horrible flow ratings. I always liked the Dynomax Stuff, the Super Turbos Flow great for someone on a budget, I really like there Ultra Flo Mufflers, Straight Thru design and Stainless Steel all throughout, Not really that expensive. I'm sorry, didn't notice you did try a Flowmaster, i was talking about there Chambered Type Mufflers, (2 Chamber, 3 Chamber). Just curious on what did you go with ?
Good video. My only objection is that the Vibrant Ultra Quiet really is marketed as a resonator that is designed to be used in conjunction with an actual muffler. You may be able to get away with using the Ultra Quiet as a muffler, but you are also likely to suffer quite a bit of droning, as well….
@@suped89 I can imagine. Take a look at the Vibrant 17930 (2.5")/17950 (3.0"). They are larger and closer to the size of actual mufflers, but they drone even less and still give you that deeper sound....
@@FiveBoroNative You can use them as both a muffler or a resonator, the term "resonator" just refers to the location of where it is installed, but it is a universal item so it can be either or. The Vibrant mufflers are larger, and have even more sound suppression with no power loss due to their straight through design.
@@arthurfromtoronto I don't want to argue about the topic, as you are not totally incorrect in absolute terms, but after having several conversations with their reps and my own experience, I would advise using the Ultra Quiet if it can get the volume levels you are looking for, but I've seen too many instances where they were used as mufflers unsuccessfully because they can quell drone if the muffler they work in conjunction with can get the overall exhaust system volume low enough, but that is more often than not the case....
I'm running Dynomax Race Bullets and it's so loud in my blower car that my ears ring after a drive. I don't want the car quiet, but man I have to do something. Should I add a pair of Flowmaster FX as resonators?
question(anyone can answer): i have a catless 06 impala ss into a “Y” pipe with no res or mufflers. do you think TWO vibrant “ultra quiet” resonators in the rear would do the trick of making it deeper but still loud just not obnoxiously loud? or should i put ONE in the middle?
@@robintheslavewr1513 trying to opt away from those. it’ll be $3-400 at the end of it all. purchase and installing. i like the way the the vibrants sound but on this set up they are true dueled
@@6.0Kree got a flowmaster super44 installed on my 09 dodge caliber srt4 I bout it online they charged me only 200 bucks to install because they had to provide some piping and adaptors. Those vibrate mufflers aren't gonna be all that lound
Mufflers just change the sound more or less pick what sounds good to you. Even though the vibrant muffler was the quietest you can tell that engine is very healthy.
They all sounded too loud .muscle cars sounded best with their factory mufflers.though 68 70 Nova’s were a bit too quiet (fan blades were louder than exhaust).
Ok, obviously the straight pipes sound the best but as for the mufflers go, i liked the vibrants the best and the flow fx second best because they aren't much different at all. So i looked up the price on the vibrants and bursted out laughing 😅😅😅, seriously,,, you want $100 per side, GTFO.... Your selling mufflers,,, seriously, is the packing inside the muffler made from Jesus's pubes???? So next i looked up the flow fx and they are about $48 a piece. I think its pretty obvious which muffler common sense would buy. Christ, some of these muffler companies are off their meds, black widow, spintech, pypes, they all sell for that magic number of $100. Look, if i was going to spend stupid money on a set of mufflers, id go with classic chambred power sticks. Do i like them? Yes, can i afford them? Yes, will i support their business??? Fk no, get bent... Excellent video btw and thank you for the hours of labor making the swaps and putting the video together. Sweet Toronto btw. Great video.
I had the flow fx for a few months but they echoed off the cement guardrails so loud I ended up switching to the vibrants. I paid around $100 each for them yeah.
@@suped89 yea, cant really argue that. Thanks you for doing this on an old car with an old school engine. Trying to get a good sound understanding on a modern camaro, mustang or charger just doesnt do it. Are you running 2.5 or 3 inch on the torino?
It seems expensive but it's because they are made for 304 stainless steel, and they come fully polished and prepped for tig weld. If you ever held one, you'd see how much heavier it is than the other brands out there. There is a ton of packing in there, and it's perforated. Once you factor all the additional manufacturing, and the material, the cost is actually not bad
