i currently run a 30" glasspack on 2 1/4" exhaust on a stock 300-6, and it rumbles alright, but i want more noise when i get on it...of course, no matter how much noise it will ever make, it won't be fast until i get the motor re-done....it's verrrry tired...lol...

I have duals on the 81 (cast efi manifolds, 2.25 pipes) with a 2-in, 2-out Magnaflow muffler. I would've used Thrush glasspacks as I did on my 77 - they sound nice, last, and are cheap - but this is how my cousin built it. I know it sounds nice but I can't hear it - the tailpipes go all the way to the rear and so does the sound. I may cut them right behind the muffler, under the bed.
I know it sounds nice, I've heard my cousin drive it. And I can hear the buzz as it passes through 1600rpm, especially in 3rd.

I had a chery bomb before and it sounded like a ricer or a loud fart. Took it off until I had to put a muffler on to smog it. I bought a flowmaster 40 series and put a turn down on it. It sounds great, like a truck should. When I was shopping for mufflers I went to the muffler shops with a straight pipe and actually tried all the different performance mufflers i could think of. The only one that sounded different was the flowmaster. The others sounded like a straight pipe only quieter. Hope this helps.
