The Tone You've Been Looking For

Hot Tamales by Paradox Performance Mufflers aren't just another generic loud muffler. Our revolutionary design brings out the unique sound of your engine in the best ways. In short, our patented Tuning Fork Technology delivers deep, complex tones that other brands can't match.



Revolutionary Patented Technology

All Paradox Performance Mufflers use our patented Tuning Fork Technology™. This provides bold, deep tones when idling and under acceleration. But at highway speeds, Paradox Performance Mufflers are designed to become quieter, which can reduce or even eliminate exhaust drone.

Virtually all other brands use three basic ideas: backpressure, sound absorption, or deflection. Paradox Performance Mufflers are the world's first "mechanically activated" mufflers. a category of its own capable of superior sound and flow.

    Posted by Ray Hooper

    Just had the Paradox Hot Tamale Performance Muffler installed on my new 2024 Chevy Z71 5.3 Trail Boss yesterday and I love the sound. With the Range Technology installed in my Chevy Z71 it stays in V8 mode all the time it sounds like a truck should sound like. I really like the sound that I'm getting from my mufflers. Great muffler great price and outstanding service. Thank you I appreciate doing business with you!

    Loud buttttt

    Posted by Anthony P

    So just want to say this is an awesome muffler! I have been very pleased with these cold starts and highway rumbles even the kids say daddy do the noise do the noise lol.. however I have noticed my truck won’t run into overdrive AS easy like it did with the factory one. So unfortunately that just takes a hit on the mpg side of things and leaves it in a high pitch noise noticing it wants to shift but wont, (between 60-65) bump up the speed to 70ish and it shifts and goes into 8th gear. Only thing I can gather is it’s obviously less restrictive lol. Just something to keep in mind. I drive a 19 hemi classic. Knowing what I know now I would still buy again, solid price for what you are getting! ------ Reply from Paradox: Thanks for your business! Regarding your issues- sometimes it can take a few hundred to a few thousand miles for the computer to adapt to new exhaust. After that point, almost all of our customers report either an increase in MPG or no change.

    Great sounding mufflers - Ram 1500

    Posted by Mark Richards

    My 18-year-old son just purchased a brand-new Ram 1500 classic. He was in the market for an aggressive sounding muffler. He looked at all the top names that market their product, which in turn cost the consumer a lot more money. I found paradox mufflers on Facebook. Through hours of listening to sound bites, my son decided to purchase a Hot Tamale muffler. He had it installed the other day, ended up loving the aggressive sound. I got home from work and listened to it, I too have a brand new ram, 1500 Laramie edition. Both trucks have the hemi 5.7, I ordered my muffler over the weekend. I will be getting mine installed next week. Thank you for the services that you do. You have a great sounding mufflers.

    Very Pleased - Chevy Tahoe 5.3

    Posted by Kevin N.

    I had a Paradox 3" pipe Hot Tamale (very high quality) installed on my 2002 Chevy Tahoe 4x4 5.3L / 4l60e (not a hotrod by any means) and I am very pleased with it. The tone is very mellow from idle to 2000 rpm normal driving then up to rpm limiter it starts singing that tune everyone loves to hear in a performance vehicle and in the interior it has no annoying rumbling, groaning, or vibrating noises. If you are in the market for a quality muffler at a very reasonable price, this is the one. Thanks guys for all the research you put in this high quality performance muffler... HOME RUN! Now if I can just keep my foot out of it I'll see if mpg is changed. Sincerely, One Pleased Customer.
