i think ive decided to replace my rusty exhaust with a stainless set up from
sunbeam spec, incl the stainless downpipes (i am using stock cast iron exhaust
manifolds). i just realized in talking with SS that the package includes the
muffler. question is, as i was previously thinking of going with a flowmaster
40 or similar for a more aggressive sound, can anyone comment on the sound of
the muffler sold as part of SS kit? rick said it is "sports car like" but
everyone has their own interpretation. thks.

Peter,

I have used the Series 40 and it does produce a great sound but, Flowmaster
also makes a stainless Tri-delta that fits well and is quieter at idle, but
roars when the throttle is opened. Just a comment. RObin

I have used the Flowmaster 40 series with the Deltaflow technology for many
years and really like the sound of it. You might try that. It's not quite
as loud as the standard Deltaflow. Jerry Christopherson 373408

Is that the muffler used on McQueen's Mustang in Bullit?

I'd sorta like to clone that sound, if it can be done with a stock Tiger.

I have a Flowmaster 50 series on my 318 Valiant. Even though the 3 chamber,
50 series is suppose to be quieter (than the 40's) I still get a horrible
resonance from about 1,900 RPM to exactly 2,600 RPM, then it drops right
off.
While it probably doesn't help that I'm running a single muffler with 3"
pipe I still hate the noise being right in the typical driving band.
Others may have different experiences as there are a lot of factors that
result in the final sound one hears.
Tom

I have a new Sunbeam Specialties stainless system on my car. To be honest,
I am not an expert on the sound of these engines, so it's hard to judge or
describe it. I am used to sounds like sport mufflers on Porsches, Remus
sport systems on BMW M cars, etc. Those get my blood flowing, so to speak.
I will tell you that I wish the Tiger had a more aggressive sound, which
absolutely does not mean louder or droning to me. How can I describe the
sound of these mufflers?... The car sounds pretty OK with the throttle wide
open, but it isn't at all a turn on to me when idling or running calmly. I
have actually been considering the idea of replacing the mufflers with
something else to give it a more burbly, free-flowing sound. Having said
all of that, there are no Tigers I've seen or heard on the road around me,
so maybe mine is as good as they should sound. I can tell you that the
Cobra club meets up the street from me every Saturday and those cars sound
much cooler to me than my Tiger. I hate to put down the Sunbeam Specialties
mufflers, but they honestly don't scratch my itch. But you know what they
say about opinions...

For about fifty bucks you should be able to pick up 2 el-cheapo glass
paks....available in many pipe sizes and lengths. I've been happy with mine
for close to 20 years. If you like a little more crackling sound get the
Cherry Bomb glass paks.

from SS, will slap one on the unrestored "driver" and the other on the
beauty queen coming out of restoration. ill keep you posted on how i like
the set up. if my wife complains its still too loud, then it should be
about perfect for me =)

Let me guess, Mark, you were a percussonist? Jack hammer operator?
Aircraft carrier flight deck guy?

I had glass packs on my Tiger when I got it, and they were #1 on the
list for replacement. Just way too loud. Swapped them out for a pair
of big block Thunderbird resonators, that were a lot quieter. Finally
got back to stock, quieter still.

Grew up with a Ducati single cylinder motorcycle and since have always
gone for the thumping rather than the sewing machine sound.
