exhaust

What's the best exhaust system that I could put on a 72 s/b Cheyenne tying into full length headers with a gm crate 350/330 hp motor. The truck came with a tired 350 and glasspacks but now it's way too loud. I've already spent a fortune on the truck so I might as well go first class to finish it off right and make it sound sweet.. Any suggestions welcome, And thanks! p.s. -- also having trouble wiring factory tach into new hei distributor that came with the crate motor. When we put + to a hot wire and the other terminal to the distributor it wont run. Any clues?

thats a hard question because every body likes a different muffler, some like loud and others like a mellow tone. personally i like glasspacks on manuals and flowmasters on autos but i love it loud lol -kyle

May those who love us, love us, any of those who do not love us, may God turn their hearts.
And if God is unable to turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles so we may know them by their limping.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.

On your tach, you are plugging the wire to the tach terminal on the HEI, right?

i hope you ran a new wire for your ignition to the hei, the original wiring to the distributor is a resistance wire and doesn't provide a full 12volts

Hey Gordo --- thanks for the exhaust article. Now I know to use 2 1/2 pipe and a crossover. Any really good pre made systems stainless and mandrel bends that you know of?
