Tried the flows last summer for a week and went back to the Traps.

well the camaro has a large set of headers with a h pipe, some 50 series flowmasters 3 inch in/out muffs, and turn downs.

But the truck will have some smaller headers,40 series 2 1/2 in/out flowmasters, H pipe, and side exit exhaust.

Hey 68 350 w TPI check your PM.

Pipes and muffers aren't all you need. A big fat cam, high compresion, big old valves and the right carb and cleaner system add to the sound. Flowmasters and headers on a stock motor just don't do it.

lower the compression and add a 6-71 supercharger

Its true....Nothing adds to the sound like a 6-71

Hey BIG ORANGE you got mail.

who is running turbo mufflers...do they sound good?.. i have seen them much cheaper than flowmaster.... i like pretty much any sound minus glass packs and rice burners

68 with 350 TPI · 07-07-2002, 07:55 PM

I know that everyone has a opinion on what sounds good just like music ....But I like the sound of flowmastersand hooker areo chamber's.
For cheap the summit mufflers you can get from summit racing sounds pretty good as well.

They all have that tuned sound with a crackel I like.

I know the guys that like glass packs probably dont like that sound but its all a matter of tast.

I do however like the old chambered exhaust that came on the old camaros for some reason
