I am looking for a complete exhaust system from the manifold back for my 60 SWB Fleetside, 235 with columnn shift. Anyone have recommendations for manufacturer, vendor etc...? Thanks.

Re: Exhaust Options

I'd just go to the local muffler shop and have one made. More than likely will be cheaper and you can pick a different muffler to. Flowmasters sound Sweet on these 6 bangers.

I prefer 40's or 50's. Here's a video of a 235 with a fenton header setup and split exhaust:

Re: Exhaust Options

I just had the muffler shop do my exhaust from headers back. I went with Flowmasters 50Delta series, they didn't get my 50's in so they put in the Original 40's in for a week and it was loud. I didn't really like it, and when my 50's came in I had them installed and now it's nice. I have a sbc 350.

V8's actually sound alot different than the 6 cylinders. Especially under hard acceleration. My 292 would get really loud at 4000 RPM. And my 305 V6 gets really loud at 2500 RPM. lol

Re: Exhaust Options

Mine is just a 6 so I would like it to be "normal" sounding until I get a good plan together. I'm just moving it around in the shop for now but the exhaust will be needed soon.

Re: Exhaust Options

A nice "turbo" muffler from Dynomax will be good quite throaty sound. Smittys for little old school rasp when reving. I kinda like the Smittys and glass pack on 6

Re: Exhaust Options

Maybe a stock type muffler. I personally enjoy a quiet ride just cruising along, talking with my wife and listening to the radio. Does that make me old? Another plus to a quiet exhaust is that if your motor/trans are a bit on the (ahem) uncertain side, you can hear any unusual noises.
