Y-block single exhaust
I would need some suggestions from you guys. I dont like the sound from my single exhaust (272) but I can't afford Ram Horns and dual exhaust right now.
I use the crossover pipe, stock exhaust manifolds, 2" pipes with one oval muffler about ( 14"x 9" x 4 1/2" ) and the exhaust ends up just before the Rear End. I would appreciate "low budget" suggestions from you. like a different muffler. I suppose it's pointless with a wider pipe when I still use the stock crossover pipe/manifolds. Thanks!

On a low budget I would install a single "Smithy's" muffler. They sound real good and I have run just one on a y block to save a few bucks and it sounded very good.
You could also remove the cross over, make a block off for the pass side front.
Have an exhaust shop make a turn down from the front of the Driver side manifold and run it back to get duals

I will second the glasspacks and would stay with a longer length. I have a pair of 18" on my dual exhaust 312. They tended to rap quit a bit, I finally installed a crossover to mellow them out. 22" will be considerably louder than 30".

Ram Horns and duals sounds great but I cant afford it at this moment. (Ram Horns only are about Us$ 700 with shipping overseas and with all taxes!!!!) Just let me know if you know of a used pair!
I will try with a Smithy's 26" and maybe extend the pipe to the rear.
Thanks a lot guys!!
