1987 Mazda B2200 "outlaw" **planning phase** Chevy 283, Power Pack heads, Edelbrock carb and intake, turbo 350 trans
1985 Mercedes 300D stock for now
Hey guys, I've been looking for muffler options for my 85 300D turbo, but haven't found too many audio clips. What all have you guys tried? I heard a Flowmaster on YouTube but it sounded kinda ricey. I'm more interested in a deeper, sporty tone.

Probably doesn't answer your question, but straight pipe is fantastic...

At most I would buy something straight through, just like a resonator or something a muffler company would say "resembles open headers"

'82 300D -3" straight pipe, ALDA deleted, 3in1 glowshift gauge, HX30, egr-less manifold, A/W intercooler
'14 Ram 6.7l cummins -G56 handshaker, wishing it was deleted
I agree with nzscott. Unless you do a ton of highway driving. My 82 300D is loud on the highway running 3k+ rpm. But it's more of a drone than it is being actually loud

Try Spintech Mufflers. They have a design that beats all of them. There diesel muffler is a true diesel muffler, there is a difference in design from a gas muffler.

Hmm, I didn't think about that, I should have known that there would be a difference between petrol and diesel mufflers. This gives me an additional angle to search. The tone that I'm after, I heard it on an Aston Martin. I know that I won't be able to replicate that perfectly, but if I could get somewhat close to that, I'd be happy. Thanks for the lead on Spintech Mufflers, I'll look into them.
I don't want to do a straight pipe, I'm more turning this car into a family car to take on road trips. Seeing as I don't have a family (yet) for this I have plenty of time to work on this project. And with the price of new cars today, I'll still be saving $$$.

You might go to a 3" exhaust also for some more performance. The stock exhaust is quiet but restrictive. Most of your diesel mufflers are for 3" and up tubing also.
