On my Nova I had made a custom made headers and ran staight pipes{ 3" } all the way out to Eledbrocks,Sweet,mildly loud and very throuty,if you are planning to change the originals,then you should do a complete exhaust sytem,better sound ,better tourqe and it will sound like it suppose to.I will bring over the Mig.and we can go exhaust shopping and in a few hours it will be done,no clamps needed.  I need to weld something soon or I will lose my mind.I was thinking of building a shark cage just for the hell of it.   |
Rob always has a great zinger...
I am going back some 30 years, but do you remember "Thrush" Mufflers? Back in the 70's they were THE "sound". A few years later I put a set of "Thrush Rush" mufflers on a 396 Malibu my buddy had and they sounded GREAT, I don't know if they still make them but they sure had that "muscle car" sound.
Glad I could be of no help at all,
