Any suggestion on which flowmaster for the loudest/best sounding exhaust? I've heard the 40's series 2 chamber they've had, are the Super 44's louder than them? _________________ -Andrew, 1974 El Camino, finally a 350!

Headers, "X" Pipe, 44 Flowmaster or Hooker Aero Chamber, 2 & 1/2 " or if it will fit, 3" Tubing dumped at Diff. or in front of Rear Wheels. (Areo's have a little deeper / throatier sound) _________________ http://elcaminocentral.com/gallery-album_CoyoteOn2s77Cage.html

From my experience, the center inlet, dual outlet 40 series dual chambers dumped with turndowns right before the differential will be brutally loud for a so called 'muffled' car. The outlets being pointed down to the ground right under your bed will allow the bed to act as a drumhead of sorts, which resonates the sound even louder. I'm telling you though, after a couple of weeks, you won't like it... _________________ It's not the prettiest, but it's all mine....

I just had an exhaust installed, I chose Flowmaster 40's, and they are plenty loud! I ran mine to just behind the rear wheels, and can still talk in the cab with the windows down tho. I think they sound awsome at idle. _________________ 1984 El Camino

run one of these and order a muffler that is less annoying, you'll thank yourself in the long run. _________________ 1985 El Camino Conquista 13.7 @ 99mph with 87octane
