Straight six exhaust
 
I was wondering if anybody else has done anything to their exhaust on the straight sixs right now im running straight pipe 10in from the rear tire and im thinking about running duals to the back but i was wondering if anybody else has done anything like maybe a flowmaster and if they liked it or not

I think most guys that want to do something run either a split manifold or maybe some kind of headers, usually with glass packs. I suppose you could put on some kind of turbo mufflers if you're afraid it'll be too loud, though. I know those old split manifolds on a Stovebolt sure sound great.

not sure what they would sound like on a truck. I had 3 chamber flowmasters on a 250 straight 6 in a 67camaro and it sounded kind of like a outboard boat motor?

I have swapped the 6 out with a v8 already so I have no sound clips sorry. I love the sound of chamberd exhaust I heard it on many different engines and it always sounds great!

i'm planning to run split manifolds on my 292 with one 8" cherry bomb. i got the tip from an old bomb drivin lowrider that's how they get that bich'n pop & crackle that makes the hair on your arm stand up!!! sweet!! oh yah he said the key to a good sound (loud) is to mount the glass pack as far forward as you can. i'll post a sound clip when i get mine done.

You better have some forgiving neighbors. I had a set of those...VERY raspy;)
Although.... they are not as hard to find as that guy would like you to believe in his add. I bought mine from a Corvette place.
