    Muffler selection

    It sounds like Rumblefish is giving you some more sophisticated advice than what I have to offer but I would also encourage you to find some videos of different styles of mufflers too. It's always hard to tell exactly what they will sound like in person (because of the uncontrolled audio...

    Dumping exhaust down under the car

    So I just wanted to amend these comments. I got to thinking about my turn-down pipes that came out of the mufflers...and it occurred to me that these were 2.5" OD so they sat inside of the exit pipes on the mufflers...which likely introduced a bit of restriction. So I popped the turn-down...

    What mufflers for 340

    The Jones Max Flow mufflers seem pretty well liked and they're relatively cheap. They sound weird on my combo for whatever reason but the build quality looks good for the price and the flow-through design is pretty hard to argue with.

    Dumping exhaust down under the car

    I've been running mine that way since last summer. No regrets so far. With a 5.9 Magnum, Doug's headers, 2.5" pipes and Jones Maxflow, the car is NOT loud. You guys with high compression will likely hear more of a noise difference in the cabin than I do. Cutting the pipes did shave a...

    will these dougs fit my a body?

    They'll fit the engine just fine. They sure don't look like they would match up with the a-body otherwise.

    What Headers fit best in Barracuda small block with powersteer

    I'm running a mini starter too. Header clearance aside, it's cheap weight reduction. The stock starter has to weigh 2x what the mini starter does.

    Headers for a original 1974 dodge dart 360 sport 4 speed

    Any pics of your Sport would be very welcome!

    What Headers fit best in Barracuda small block with powersteer

    If there are significant differences between early and late Abody exhaust systems, this may not be helpful but I scored a pair of Doug's on an Autozone sale. With power steering/'73, they fit very well, only needed a minor dent near the steering box and a little to clear the torsion bar on the...

    Jones Maxflow - Not great?

    Oh yes. This is very true. My combination isn't anything exotic. 4.10 gears, 2600rpm stall, mufflers in stock location. The one thing that I did which may be relevant is that I just used turn-down pipes after the mufflers and got rid of the pipes that went up and over the axle. This shaved...

    Jones Maxflow - Not great?

    I just installed these last weekend and I have a few miles on them, enough to render a verdict, which won't be a surprise if you read the thread title. So I'm running these behind the Magnum 5.9 (stock cam), Doug's headers, 2.5" pipes, no crossover. These are 18" long, 9" wide, 4" thick...

    Doug's or Hooker (Magnum swap)

    Looks like diymirage was able to provide some insight...which is good because mine was a 318 so I couldn't help there. :)

    Doug's or Hooker (Magnum swap)

    The headers arrived...they're beautiful!

    Doug's or Hooker (Magnum swap)

    Thanks (and "Thanks") to both of you guys! I found the coupon code and ordered them up!

    Doug's or Hooker (Magnum swap)

    My car is a '73 Dart Sport with a Magnum swap and power steering...likely swapping over to manual steering eventually but not before the headers. I assume they will fit either configuration. Looks like I can get a set of Hooker Competition (coated) for about $450 where the Doug's coated...

    Installing the Summit 2.5in A body exhaust

    Thanks, Rumblefish. The car is going to be street...maybe an occasional trip to the strip down the road. It's a "Magnum300" (mild) and will stay that way for a while... it sounds like 2.5" would probably be fine. I read a test showing almost no benefit from headers on this exact...

    Installing the Summit 2.5in A body exhaust

    Are you guys still happy with this system? How does it sound? Will these bolt up to the stock manifolds? Is 2.5" a limiting factor for a 5.9L Magnum? Not sure if I should invest in 3"... I just sat on hold with Summit for 15 minutes...perhaps I will give them another try.

    Mini-starter compatibility

    Guys, My starter is in... the original cables (318 car) more or less reach the contacts on the new Mini starter...but I have to stress the cable a bit to get the connections on and I don't like the looks of it. The old cables are held together at the end by what appears to be a piece of...

    Mini-starter compatibility

    I just called NAPA again to ask them about this and once again, they said that their cheapest option was something like $114 for a remanufactured unit... :wack: Interesting...based on the previous comments, it sounds like the Dakota style starter is a straight drop-in... so I bet yours was...

    Mini-starter compatibility

    Hey, Younggun! I called my local Crapa Auto Parts and they quoted me $100+ for a Dakota/Magnum starter. Do you have that part number by any chance? That would be awesome!!
