Re: Project Money green
Took it out for the first test drive with no major issues. First the exhaust is way to loud, long tube headers, dual 2.5" ehaust with magnaflow mufflers. It's not terrible at light throttle but anything more then 25% rattles your brain. Going to look at adding a h pipe and some resonators. Truck also feels like brake booster isn't working and it trys to push through the brakes when your stopped. Tuner might be able to fix this.

Re: Project Money green
My buddy has a 60 catalina wagon with a similar set up and he had the same noise issue on the freeway. His daughters wouldn't ride in it. He already had the h pipe but he added 8 chamber mufflers and resonators. He also had a low brake pedal problem and he added an extra catch can to increase the vacuum capacity and that fixed his problem.

I would try "J" pipes on it before adding an "H" pipe. They quieted my Panel Truck right down. My wife wouldn't ride in it before the "J" pipes..... Also a lot cheaper than an "H" pipe. LockDoc

Re: Project Money green
I'll have to see if there is space to add h or j pipe. Mostly it's just to loud, my gto had the same issue and I added small resonators and it made it alot better. I'm sure it doesn't help that there is no sound deadining in the interior.
