    OPINIONS ON EXHAUST SOUND

    I had Flowmaster 40's on my car for a short while. I hated them. Loud, rattly sound and much drone. I shopped mufflers for quite a while and finally settled on the AP Xlerator Performance Mufflers with the 3" and 24" OAL. XS1259. A nice deep, low rumble and the cam sound is noticable...

    Spitfire vs. Block Huggers for SBM in an early A

    I have the spitfires on one of my cars. They work well. I would go with those if they are available and not priced to set you into the national debt range. All they require is to attach flanges.

    HOME MADE EXHAUST SYSTEM

    I built these headers for my 64 Barracuda from 1-3/4 bends from Speedway, flanges from Hells Gate Hot Rods and collectors from E-bay. They clear 205-60R15 front tires at full lock. The 3" exhaust was built from Boyce oval tube and 2-1/4 bends from speedway with filler strips cut from regular...

    Exhaust Band Clamps

    I use these clamps on two of my cars and they work perfectly. I will use them for any exhaust connection that has room for them in the future. I had to remove the exhaust on one of the cars and they come apart and reassemble so much nicer with the band style clamps.

    Fitting TTi headers on a 273

    Why not just bolt 'em on and run 'em. Is the port mismatch really that big of a deal?

    Anybody running AP Xcelerator mufflers?

    Which ones are the "larger version." That is a pretty cool car for a non-Mopar. Sounds pretty nice.

    Anybody running AP Xcelerator mufflers?

    Thanks for the information. Do you know how it compares to the Borla Pro XS 3"? Flow, sound level, any drone etc.? My buddy has the Borlas with tailpipes on a 390 Mustang with a roller cam and it sounds pretty nice. Reasonably quiet, decent flow, and a nice deep authoritive sound. You are...

    Anybody running AP Xcelerator mufflers?

    A guy that used to have the muffler shop next to my body shop years ago stopped by to visit the other day. He took a look at my car in progress and, of course, one of his first questions was what kind of exhaust it would have. I showed him the items I already have and told him I was planning...

    If you are running AP Xlerators how do they sound. Performance? Drone? What setup are you using?

    No more drone!

    I used the math here to make tubes for a friend's Mustang that droned horribly. The tubes eliminated the drone. It's hard to fit 'em in neatly but they definitely work. How to build an exhaust resonator tube to eliminate drone - PerformanceTrucks.net Forums

    early a sb fenderwell headers on a 72 swinger????

    A friend and I tried to install a set of early a-body JR fenderwell headers from a '65 Barracuda in his 68 Dart. They would not work due to the frame width difference. The tubes would not clear the inner fenderwell sheet metal by approx. 3/4 inch. I'm pretty sure you would encounter the same...

    Mufflers Without a Drone

    I have 2-1/2 Borlas and like them. I tried a a couple of Flow Masters 40s and Delta. They suck! Tried Thrush.... not pleased. A friend loaned me several sets of mufflers he had used so experimenting didn't cost me a fortune. He finally let me try the Borlas he was going to use on his street...

    Picking an Exhaust and Mufflers

    Borlas do look like a glorified glasspack, but somehow they get them to sound good and last a long time. A friend in Houston had a Fury with a 408 and Flowmasters. A nice car but it sounded like a rattle can. He got tired of the sound and put on Borla ProXSs and I could not believe how nice it...

    X & H pipe vs straight dual exhaust

    I had independent 2-1/2 pipes on my gold Barracuda when I put the 360 in it. I just hooked them up to my Spitfires. The exhaust note seemed a little sharp to me so I added an H-pipe. Torque went noticeably up and exhaust noise went noticeably down. Top end didn't seem to change. About a...

    Need Advice on Exhaust

    Just prior to my days of hot rodding people would put on "Smitty"s. A straight through steel pack muffler. By the time I was actually working on cars the standard for exhaust volume became the "Thrush" and then the "Cherry Bomb" glass pack. We had an oil boom in the area and the folks coming...
