well, back when "old muscle cars" were just muscle cars, the vast majority of them had Cherry Bomb style glass packs

The coffin mufflers sounds like the car has bronchitis. Aint nobody got time fo that.

Look into Bassani's if you got a ton of cash. They have the perfect blend of rumble and scream in my opinion.

Skip to 0:12... I "DON'T" want my car to sound like that AT ALL. What exhaust gives you this drone but no crackle noise?

Ummmm I guess you could but I would advise against it. What if there is a future problem with the car and you don't have that warning light?



Please, for the sweet baby Jesus, don't do quad exhaust

What I meant by quad exhaust was two on each side, not four. I decided to get dual after all though.

Sounds like just an axle-back exhaust and nothing else. It really doesn't do anything for me, too tame

You'd need a 3V with 3V stock headers, 3V stock mid-pipe, and Im thinking that's a non-chambered axel-back.

BTW, as far as sound goes.....2V >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3V

Ok, so not going that option. Thanks. Does that MAC system backfire and make that crackle noise?

So this quad exhaust is what you were thinking of? You think it looks bad? Obviously besides the 2.5 inlet that I need, I want a 4 outlet as well but what size pipes in length would I need for them to stick out like that?

Most old school muscle cars got their tone from the cam and heads as well

Yea, I figured. So I would need heads, o/r h pipe, mufflers and tips in order to have the full system right?

I personally think the car looks "meaner" with four tips, don't you?

Ok anyways, will these be the right fit for the 2.5 outlet Mac flowpath muffler and enough in length to stick out the back a little more?

Full exhaust is considered headers (not heads), mid-pipe, and cat-back/mufflers

Yea I know headers. That's more expensive though. How much do those range for?
Thanks for all your answers, I appreciate it man. I wonder why those videos backfire if it's the same setup? Weird.

I bought my MAC longtubes for around $380 I think, had them ceramic coated locally for $120, and installed them myself (which was a PAIN). I think the going rate to have someone do it for you is around $400? You'd have to call around.
