I have a rebuilt 289 stock motor and was wondering what series flow master or other type of muffler sounds great on a 67 289???? Thanks again, Dave

Regular 40 series will sound good!

The have the DeltaFlow 2 chamber 40's on my 289. Here are some videos of it.

WOW sounds great Thanks

I also have 2.5" exhaust with an H-pipe, and tri-y headers. So it will sound a lil different than a stock setup.

+1 exact set up i have on my 302, love how it sounds!

I just need to get a non-stock cam in there and she'll sound even better.

i highly reccomend Raptors by Flowtech. they are not extreamly loud but i have had people tell me that my car sounds like a race car plus there is absolutely no resonance. i dont have a sound clip or anything for you to listen to but i think they would be a much better choice than flowmasters.

i sell those at work and was wondering bout them but i looked over toward the dynomax super turbo mufflers

I love my Magnaflows, a tad quieter than Flowmasters.

They sound very nice, just a tad louder than my Magnaflows, I also don't have headers, I have my original manifolds.

if you would like icould try to get a sound clip of my exhaust up by the weekend

i'll try to record mine as well.
flowmaster 40. sound great ! i threw out my radio.

kalli

wow that sounds REALLY nice for having a baby cam in there. i wish i had a sound clip for you guys of mine with its lopey growl.... 40 series are just awsome for muscle cars

ok i have a video...the picture quality is really crappy and you cant see much but it sounds good enough that you get an idea for what it sounds like. it kinda sounds like there is some wind noise too so just ignore that lol.

not too shabby. i have y et to hear the hooker aero chambers, does anyone have those installed?

^it actually sounds a bit better in real life lol. i took the video with myold digital camera.

This is a little off subject, but can youpost a pic of your tach and tell me what kind it is. I'd like to check it out for my 65 GT. Thanks.

Should I take the glass packs off my 65' GT and redo the mufflers and pipes?

Yeah, tear those out and get you some Ravins 33 series. You can't pay for all the noise tickets you will get. :D

i heard those ravins are really nice

Check out the Magnaflows in their website, here's the direct link to their sound files, scroll down to the Ford section, and you can hear a 1967 Shelby GT 500:

Hi all,

did a recording as well.
This is a more or less standard 289 with headers and flowmaster 40s
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ugymBIBwrAI

have to listen with full volume and speakers ... :D

increase the gnarliness sound of that last audio clip and thats real close to what mine sounds like. close to between 40 and 35 seconds left in that clip when it idles real low.

If your asking about my tach it is a Sunpro Super Tach II. I got it from Summit. I don't remember for sure what size it is but I think it's the 2 5/8. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SUN%2DCP7911&N=70 0+4294925228+4294839077+4294815748+400191+42947658 15+115&autoview=sku

Nice Sound. It is pretty much on par with a 289/302 and flow 40's.

If you're a little more mature, like to converse with your passenger, and don't want to wake up the neighbors, go with the DynoMax Super Turbos. Very little restriction, a low muffled retro type sound, ZERO cabin resonance, and yet, magically, when you punch it, the announce to the guy in your rear view mirror that yourengine may just not be entirely stock...

I dont have the piece that secures it to the dash. So I'm using a zip tie to hold it. I have no idea where to get that piece either.[:@]

That's what we're here for: http://www.mustangsplus.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=MPFMP&Product_C ode=01800&Category_Code=Dash_Bezels

[8D]

Nope its not that. It's behind the dash.

damn, you stole my tach LOL. mines held to the steering column with a black spray painted hose clamp;)

mojoe: like your sound as well. sounds more deeper.
19stang66: thought as well it's the bezel that's missing.

that any help ? (from NPD full catalogue. page 17)

Man, my Magnaflows sound like a relaxed mountain lion, your Flowmasters sound like a pissed off African lion...LOL.

:D

I have no headers though, just manifolds.

LOL, I like that analogy....

My 302 has a 268H comp cam,long tube ceramic coated headers,crossover pipe,flowmaster 40 deltaflow mufflers.Has somewhat of a hollow sound.I always get complimented on how healthy it sounds.

mountain lion ... :-)

the super 40s seem to sound like the normal 40s. just lower (more base). sweet.
The normal ones sound very aggressive though.

Kalli

Thanks, I'll check that out, it should look pretty good with my white face GT gauges. Can you get the back lighting in a color to match the gauges though?

The bulb is easiily replaced. You would have to check an auto parts store to see if they carry the same bulb but in a different color. I know you can get different brightness bulbs for sure.

How do I find out what my car red lines at?

Kalli,
What do you have on yours, the super 40's or the normal 40's?

Tell us what you have done to your engine. Someone should be able to estimate pretty close. I think all you should need is a tach like mine that goes to 8000 unless you have a drag car.

Mines far from a drag car. It's a 302 and all it has is headers, a 4-barell carb and a performer 289 intake manifold.

What do you guys think of exhaust cutouts? Are they worth the money or would they just get me more "disturbing the peace" tickets than I know what to do with?

ORIGINAL: fast65

Kalli,
What do you have on yours, the super 40's or the normal 40's?


as far as I know normal flowmaster 40s (no super 40s).
there is no marking or writing on the mufflers. So I'm unable to tell (I didn't buy them).

Maybe the mufflers are mounted the wrong way round so that the writing and label is no on the top (where you can't read).

If anyone knows what to look far I'll be happy to doublecheck.

I'll upload a picture later on if this is a help

Kalli

fast, if its not balanced i would keep short bursts under 6k. 5500 is probably about right.

i spin mine up to 7k when im romping on it, and have held it at around 6k maybe a little over for at least 5 or 10 minutes without any problems...... but its balanced with forged pistolies and i have a windage tray to keep that oil in the bottom

ORIGINAL: fast65

How do I find out what my car red lines at?
First, get it dyno'd. You'll see the curve drop off and you'll know the "power redline". As to whether your engine can continually pull those peak RPM's depends on how its built. Quality balance, roller cam and rockers ...?

It has been my experience that the engine will let you know when it is not happy. :D

I have a stock 289 with flowmaster 40's with the H pipe. Sounds GREAT. Don't need a radio.

same here. radio was stolen. I replaced the smashed vent window and that p1ssed me off, but I don't mind the radio gone ;-)

I have the series 40, hooker headers and a crane cam and get plenty of compliments on how my car sounds.

Well, I got my Sunpro tach, it looks great, I can't wait to get it in my car.

If you need any help installing it there is a writeup another kid wrote. Another guy and me helped him with his install. It's pretty simple.

my 289 v6 sounds better with a coffee can

Itd be sweet if they made 289 v6's :eek:

lol go to summit racing and go to search by engine and go to a ford 289 and it has ford small block windosr and ford six lol

I got the same Sunpro tach but haven't put it in yet. It looks awesome in you car and I can't wait to get mine in.
