What exhaust to use??????

[Sonicman]

I have a 69 chevy c10 with a 250 inline six. My plan is to save up to put on a Clifford Performance intake and exhaust headers. But what muffler to use. I want a muscle sound not a killer bee sound.

What are your thoughts??

Well do you want it to be loud or do you want it to sound deep. I have 40 series flowmasters on mine running out the back its not loud at all but its deep sounding for sure.

we have been using Gibson exhaust and mufflers lately. no resonation, and a nice smooth sound, will bark at full throttle.

Walker Dynomax Super Turbo gives a nice deep muscle car tone without being annoyingly loud like the 40 series Flowmasters. They are also a good deal and well made.

You mean no rasp? Large case magnaflow, di/do with built in x-pipe. Having no crossover will likely rasp

I used a turbo muffler on my inline (non-header setup) and it sounds really good; no killer bee sound.

For pictures, check out my build thread in my signature (Project Blank Slate).

right now i have a factory style single exhaust w/ 2-1/2" pipe all the way through and a glasspack muffler in place of the stocker (that i blew up w/ engine backfire).

planning to upgrade to a magnaflow s.s. 2-1/2 dual x-pipe system bolted up to the stock ram horns. might get them ceramic coated to dress them up.

The inline 6 exhaust sound is purely a matter of personal preference. Either you love it or you hate it.

The best sounding 6 I ever heard belonged to a friend of mine who made his own headers. He connected 1, 3, and 5 to one outlet and 2, 4, and 6 to the other. This works only with a full dual system. Even after I pointed out to him why it was not a good arrangement for performance, he still kept it anyway because he liked the sound so much. And I liked it too.

Here's a clip with my dad's 53 with a 235, Clifford Headers and Flowmaster 40 series Delta Flows. The 235 has a deeper, throatier exhaust note than the 194-292 engines, but this should give you an idea. I used to have headers and just cheap IMCO turbos on my 250. It sounded OK, but it never had the throaty sound that a good set of chambered mufflers would've had.
