Trying to quite it down a little

[dmd]

I must be getting old (well I am old) and I would like to get the 'ol 7.3
a little more quite. I have the intake better and now for the exhaust. I
currently have a Diamond Eye 4-inch with their muffler. With the 38r and
the high flow exhaust housing the noise level pulling the TT is too much.

I have looked around and only find the Flowmaster Pro Series that
looks like it would be a solution. All the others are pretty much what I have
now, basically a glass pack.

Anyone have any other input on this?

I know there is the 6.7L upgrade kit, but at 60K the 7.3 is going to have
to do until the lottery comes in.

Ive got the FTE resonator, absolutely got rid of all drone or exhaust tone, but it sounds more like maybe you are trying to get rid of turbo noise, and other than intake (fordAIS) not sure what to tell ya

The flowmaster sounds great on the 7.3 the downside is turbos don't like baffled mufflers. I would add a resonator or change out the muffler may try like a walker BTM and get rid of the diamond eye setup. I plan to quiet my exhaust as well love the sound of a 4" open pipe but sometimes I would like to tone it down a bit. Also wanted to add I have seen the cutaway of the hush power flow master mufflers and they as well look too restrictive to me. Have not heard one in person but the banks system does appear to be quieter than the mbrp or diamond eye.

As of now I just ordered the Banks Monster 4" muffler hopefully it will tone it down a bit.

Without putting a resonator in, the Banks monster exhaust is the quietest I have heard. I drove Matt Robinson's '01 ccsb truck with 238's and a 38r, and he had the monster exhaust at the time, and it was way quiet. It still had a little noise to it under load, but it was the quietest inside 7.3 truck I have been in.

Turbo noise is where I want it now, cant hear the turbo most of the
time over the exhaust.

Please let me know how it works. What do you have on it now?

 

[superpsd]

stock obs turbo, 3" down pipe, 4" straight pipe, side exit in front of rear wheels

I'll trade you that noisy 38r for the nice and quiet GTP-38!

:lookaround:

I think the best I have seen for eliminating drone and unwanted in-cab noise would be the Corsa muffler. We carry it and have sold quite a few of them. No complaints and everyone compliments on how good it works. You can check it out HERE.

I can vouch for this.

After hearing that, my Ex may need one... sometimes it'd be nice to be able to include someone in the third row in a conversation without having to yell lol.

Thanks! That was recorded with the 60hp daily. I know what you mean. We had a 2002 F150 Harley truck Jody did a Bassani exhaust on. The drone was still my head for days after driving it.

You might want to look into the Walker HD Commercial Mega-Flow mufflers for "quiet". They are manageable diameters of 9" or 10" round but rather long 44" cases. The large case volume will drop the interior sound levels massively, and get rid of drone and turbo noise. This is the muffler I'm looking at for my truck:

Takes the 4" coming off the down pipe and a bit of flex, and let's me run a short radius 5" plain elbow up into the T-pipe of my stacks.

This and sound deadening the cab should make my old beast quieter inside than any of the new trucks. After. 757 miles in the truck yesterday, I'm going to do something about the noise levels.

Do you have a recording closer to the exhaust? What did you use
before this muffler?

How close is it to stock sound? I know it will be a louder
but I am looking to get the sound lower and the drone gone. That muffler
looks nice as it is the same size as mine and can probably just be swapped
in. I currently have the Diamond Eye muffler that came with it.

I called the mfg hoping they had the touring muffler for the diesel but
they dont. They say they dont even have any regular ones in stock and would take two to three weeks to make one.

Again, check out the fte on YouTube, it did a lot for my truck

Did you put the resonator in front of the existing muffler?

 

[lincolnlocker]

run 2 or three straight through mufflers in series that come in the 4" kits.. I have been in one diesel that had 2 mufflers and it was stupid quiet...


btw, I have a brand new never used outside the box 4" diamond eye muffler, sitting collecting dust at home... if anyone needs it...

Good thread. It's nice to see what everyone is using to keep the drone in check.

Sorry, thought you had been replied to already.

MBRP 4" exhaust with volume Reducer and Corsa Muffler.
