    What is the most common exhaust pipe diameter on enthusiasts cars?

    On my 273 commando, I used 2-inch all the way to the rear bumper, with the correct bends and angle cut at the tailpipe. I can't see me ever going over 2.5" because I don't think I'm realistically ever going to push that much out. I'm "keeping it real". :D

    Ever had this happen? (pics)

    I used to do that downshift-then-key-off-for-5-seconds explosions.....but the best part was I had these huge diameter chrome VOOM pipes that exited in front of the rear wheels, and I could throw about a 4-foot flame out the side of the car. The fun part was doing it while you were passing a kid...

    Worth it to put headers on a 318?

    For certain header fitment, not necessarily!

    Worth it to put headers on a 318?

    I've always installed headers on all my project cars and sometimes regretted it (mostly b/c of ground clearance issues on a lowered car)....it's just one of those things where you could never quite imagine NOT putting them on. That's me. *****, yell, cuss, curse 'em when installing......but...

    3" or 2.5" Pipes?

    2.5 all the way.

    glass pack and and muscle car sound

    I wouldn't mind trying a pair of these Dynomax bad boys. I don't think they're that cheap though.

    glass pack and and muscle car sound

    I second that, big time. I think their sound sucks. They sound tinny to me when revving up through the gears. Glasspacks? Hell yeah. Dumped right before the rear axle with chrome flared turn-downs. But I like them a bit longer, like 24". Let me repeat......Flowmasters suck!! :finga:

    NEW 340 manifolds at a reasonable price

    Yeah, true.....but I bought them over 10 years ago when finances were a little "tighter". Wanna hear something pathetic? When they were new, I took them outta the box and sent them in to get nickel plated. ($50) Then, when it was time to install them, they were flawed so that one of the...

    NEW 340 manifolds at a reasonable price

    I'm in love! I want a pair! I was always waiting for a repro set to appear. Not everyone wants headers. They're heat radiators along with the ground clearance problems.

    2.5 inch or 3 inch

    I'd say 2.5". 3" is loud too.

    Bark too much for bite! Which Muffler?

    I agree with this too......although, I DO like mufflers that are dumped under the car, I dig that resonance but you need to have quieter mufflers. I'm running hemi mufflers dumped before the rear axle......with my cammed 340, it just sounds bad-***......sort of whispery and raspy.

    HI-PO Exhaust manifolds or Dougs Headers?

    Headers radiate heat like a big dog too!.....so I'm not too wild about them for that reason. And when I have headers on my car, and they get dented on the bottom, I hate 'em. But.....both of my Cudas have headers. I've gotta go for max power. So.......now you ready to sell me those...

    Opinions on exhaust

    And many times, the ones you hear are blown out......and running 2" exhaust pipe, which makes it sound more "tinny" or "raspy".

    Opinions on exhaust

    Again, I recall one of my many magazines I've read where they did a dyno shoot-out on all different mufflers......and I believe glasspacks were within only a few H.P. of the other top performance brands like Flowmaster. You can also choose the length of glasspack according to how loud you want...

    Opinions on exhaust

    I prefer glass packs or those Dynomax "straight-thru" type of mufflers, kind of like just resonators, then dumped near the rear axle, and then even add some chrome flare tips at the ends. I love the resonance, the hum, and the amplification of the exhaust sound from under the car. I've got...

    Zoomies .... On my 68 Dart G T S

    That's crazy awesome!......Man, can you imagine the sound with the windows down at full throttle?........I know this may be a stupid question, but.....it's not going to see any street action at all now?
