Re: whats a loud exhaust system?
For me its not the loudness that makes the sound but the tone. I have these on my 402 and am well pleased.

Re: whats a loud exhaust system?
You could always run open fenderwell headers, if the object is just to be really loud.

Re: whats a loud exhaust system?
I had 2 1/2" exhaust with Flowmaster 40's on my 68 Camaro and it was awesome. Sounded loud and bad ass. Got several compliments on the sound.

Re: whats a loud exhaust system?
Some of it depends on where you place the muffler. Nearest the motor or at the rear and how much pipe is aft of the muffler. I have headers on a 350, Smithys under the seat area and dumpin in front of the back tire. Wife hates it cause she can't hear the radio. I love it. Just sayin - - -

Re: whats a loud exhaust system?
I have flowmaster 40 series true dual dumped before the axle.
It's pretty loud and sounds gnarly when I floor it.....it does however have a drone at about 30-40 mph....after about 45 is quiets down. I have the TH350 btw. Sometimes I think they're too loud and consider getting something more quiet but I kinda like them. Here's a cold start video I made : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inld6rvyC2g

Re: whats a loud exhaust system?
I have a 3" system running into a set of 12" dynomax bullets. Full exhaust to the rear bumper dumps at the body line. Added a H-pipe to relieve the pop and snap.
This is on a 6.0 LS

Re: whats a loud exhaust system?
I've got 2 1/2" ramhorns into 2 1/2" duals with Flowmaster 40s. They exit at the back corners with 4" tips. Sound great, but require you to have a tight interior or they are too loud inside. Mine doesn't have a tight interior yet, so forget the stereo...

Re: whats a loud exhaust system?
I went with my friend who happens to be a mechanic suggestion and put black widows exhaust and i can't describe how amazing they sound. Loud?yes drone absolutely none. Got them on a 406 roller and hooker pro comps and so glad I did not go with flows. There are a few sound clips if you search, you wont regret it.

Re: whats a loud exhaust system?
I used to want a really loud exhaust, so I had two glasspacks going out the side, it got old very quick cause I do stay around 2800 to 3200 rpm when I drive the interstate

Re: whats a loud exhaust system?
I'm with you, Blackedout. The loud is very cool pulling into cruise night, but gets very old when you actually use it. When I first bought mine, it had glass packs and huge 3 inch chrome tips, which looked and sounded ridiculous on an otherwise bone stock truck. To each his own though.

Re: whats a loud exhaust system?
![]() Why not Y pipes with electric dumps? I'm doing it on my big block. Quiet when you want it, loud as it can be when it won't get you in trouble. |
