I want to add a beefy sounding dual exhaust that screams when i put my foot in it. But i need that quality on a 200. Can anyone help me so send me some pics of your setup? Thanks
Thanks to this boards friendly neighborhood Magnaflow sales rep I talked myself into buying some 2.5" Magnapacks for my Truck w/ 390. The 390 shakes the ground so I'm sure a I6 could sound pretty mean. And I paid just 110 shipped for them.
Don't expect a V8 sound by switching out the exhaust. I'd vote for a cheapie glasspac from your local muffler shop. My buddy has a glasspac on his I6. It makes a kind of low growly buzzing sound. Not like a ricer buzz though. But car people will know you have a 6 cylinder.
I've heard the FM 40's on a 200 and it sounded really nice. You would have sworn it was a v8. This guy didn't even have a header, but it's a good idea...

I considered glasspacs but i thought maybe something like the FM super 40's might satisfy my need for a beefier sound.
My '65 with 200 l-6 had a Clifford dual-outlet header and a pair of Dynomax turbo mufflers for years - tailpipes out the back, of course. When you weren't in it hard, it sounded pretty good - mild V-8-ish. Wind it out and there's no doubt it's a six.
'course I eventually got bored with just sounding sorta like a 289, but accelerating like a Pinto and decided it was time to actually PUT the V-8 in.
