Muffler Options

i_love_tacos · 08-03-2009, 06:47 PM

I have the 20R in my 1980 and I was wondering what muffler is a good match for the motor?

What kind of muffler are you all running?

I don't know what kind mine is, it's too rusty to see any kind of marking. All I know is that it makes my truck sound exactly like the 20R-powered Toyota forklifts I've driven, and that makes me want to convert it to propane.

Yeah the one that came with the truck was round and held in place with a wire. So my buddy welded on a muffler from an XJ he had layin around. Does ok but was wondering if there's a good performance one for it.

What is the max pipe diameter I can run?

I have the stock one on mine, but what I want to get is a whole new exahaust system from LC Engineering, you should check out their stuff.http://www.lcengineering.com/

I have a pace setter header, 2.5" exhaust off the collector and a Flowmaster 50 mounted after the rear axle. somewhat quiet and lumpy (that's partly because of my 283 cam) but bearable at cruising speeds but she barks when you get on it!

Went with a stalk one from a auto parts, got it for 30 went on just fine then 100 miles. And I got an exaught leak lol so yah make sure you snug up the bolts on the header before installing.

I have a custom 2.25" setup (done by muffler shop) from the exhaust manifold back. I still use a cat and a Walker Dynomax muffler. Sounds good, reasonably quiet, makes reasonable power for a 96hp motor rolling 34's or 35's.

I have a 20R, 2.25" pipe from the manifold, Cherry bomb turbo muffler, dumps just behind the cab, its quiet, sounds fine.
