Re: Best sounding exhaust or muffler-TR6??
I always rather enjoyed the sound of a Triumph six through the stock exhaust system.

I like the sound of the Stainless Steel Dual Sport System from Moss is nice and full. Louder than stok but not as loud as Monzas

Re: Best sounding exhaust or muffler-TR6??
Allan,
I'm wondering about this myself. You mentioned Flowmaster. A lot of people say their mufflers are too loud. Did you use one of their older styles or did you try their Hush Power II? They claim this one is more mellow. I have a dynomax system on my Jimmy. There is too much resonance in the cab for my taste.
I'm considering having a system made using a resonator toward the front of the system and a Magnaflow muffler at the rear. One of my sons has a Civic. We replaced the stock muffler with a Magnaflow. It sounds pretty good, not raspy, a lot like an MGB. We left the stock resonator in place up near the cat. I read that removing the resonator is the reason so many rice burners have that obnoxious raspy sound.

Re: Best sounding exhaust or muffler-TR6??
fwiw - I have a Moss 6/3/2 on a 73 going into a stock stainless muffler. I like the way it sounds much better than what was on there (Monza/Stock manifold). Quiet enough to tool around in, but a little noise when you prod the loud pedal.

I've got a hybred stainless Sport system with dual Borla mufflers. My neighbors hate my car, but I think it sounds better than the sport mufflers, which I'll sell to you for a great price if you want them.

Re: Best sounding exhaust or muffler-TR6??
I would try to make it sound like a Healey! Loved to hear a 3000 in a tunnel. If not that, then side pipes with dual 36" glass packs or a muffler eliminator with a stock exhuast.
I run a stock muffler. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif I also know alot about W. Mitty.

Dual stainless Falcon Sport Exhaust with custom 2 1/2 x 8" oval 10" deep resonators from Stainless Specialties. It barks!

Re: Best sounding exhaust or muffler-TR6??
I've got a single glasspack on mine. The system is finished off with chrome tip that seems to have some sort of baffels inside it.
The car is loud, but it sounds too cool to consider changing it. When it goes bad I figure I'll take it to an exhaust shop and re-create the same system again.

I'll add my vote for the stock system, sounds great, and I would guess it isn't too restrictive since as far as I know its the same as the system used on the more powerful fuel injected versions.

Re: Best sounding exhaust or muffler-TR6??
I have falcon SS. In their stock form they are too loud for extended trips and I felt horribly self concious driveing in the country polluting the country peace and quiet with my rattle can. They are too short out the back and the back draft sucks up exhaust fumes into the cockpit and really turns off my wife. I put 6-8 inch extentions on and made a completel new system out of it. Very mellow and no smell.

Re: Best sounding exhaust or muffler-TR6??
Seems like the stocks have it, now for the other side of the story. I used a TR4 "Y" pipe and had it bent to fit under the TR6, (single pipe, only the "Y" pipes had to be bent down about 2 inches) then added the stock TR4 Mufflers and you would not beleive the deep tone and not loud at all. Now it rev's so much better and I can still hear the radio and it's not a big thumper. I sure do appreciate the old time rock and roll stations. Wayne
