Magnaflow vs Flowmaster

[Guest]

Listen to the exhaust of our future antique car enthusiast cars. Pretty tame compared to the loudest FlowMaster exhaust. In fact for most of us this street car is beyond comprehension, despite being street legal.

I've considered the ol' glass packs. I had more than one car when I was a kid, with a "cherry bomb" sticker on the quarter glass. I don't know if I'm showing my age, or just my stupidity as a kid, but we used to pour gas in them and burn the glass out before they ever went on the car. It was against the law to run strait pipes, so if the officer that pulled me over that day looked under it, it had mufflers!

Do a little research and you'll find that all 1964 and early production 1965 Starfires/J1's came with CHAMBERED PIPES. However, front and rear resonators were engineered into that system so that it gave you a nice performance bark under WOT acceleration, but purred nicely at road speeds. Olds and Ford used resonators on their chambered systems and didn't raise law-enforcement hackles. Chevy OTOH did not use resonators on the Camaro/Chevelle chambered systems which provoked state laws prohibiting them. Vajenya still has that stupid 1969 law on its books.

Willis- great info on the Chrysler mufflers. Never knew the Imperial mufflers were that performance-oriented.

I suspect weight savings figure into the steel-tube factory manifolds too.

Update : The truck had an XLERATOR..

I went with the Magnaflow.. Now I don't hear the truck three blocks away...

I may put the Flowmaster on my Mopar some time in June.. That is my next project...Just like "music"

I think we have the cherry bomb Glass-pack Muffler on the Darrin..
