yes im lookin for some LOUD exhaust anybody know what to get? i had 8" dual glasspacks at one time but got rid of them worst mistake ever

 

Straightpipe stacks?

 

Army guy I put flow masters dumped in front of the rear tires and if it was any louder I couldnt think straight although my wife questions my thinking now lol Pic posted in gallery. Good luck and let us know what you end up with

 

straight pipes are going to be the loudest, just depends on you local laws. Around here where i live, nobody would care, but you've got to watch out

 

I picked up a pair of chrome sidepipes from Summit for my 69 F100/390, along with a set of headers. The headers are on but I have yet to install the side pipes and was considering putting them on my F250/460. The side pipes are really nothing more than a LONG glass pack with a chrome grill. ANyone know how these sound? The open headers kick all forms of A$$

 

A couple days ago, at the gas station, there was a guy with an older chevy PU...it was LOUD...the exhaust note was not the typical ford big block rumble I am familiar with. The sound was a very tight, loud and distinct POP....a higher pitch ( not as far as rpm...just the exhaust note ) than most. Does using a smaller diameter exhaust do this?

 

Those smaller diameter pipes sounded good back in the 60s with 289s and 283s running them. I remember a buddy had those chrome side pipes on a new 72 F100 and they sounded good but it was a deep sound the best I remember. A cousin of mine had a Mercury Marader 60 something with straight pies all the way back I dont know what engine it had but that thing racked off better than any car I've ever heard. Hope this helps

 

I know my 300-6 with dual 2" pipes and dynomax mufflers sounded a lot better before I went to a 3" single, but the system hung down to low to risk doing any heavy wheeling.

 

My 72 360 has the cheapo (I think) cherry bombs that were on there when I found it. It has a real deep and low rumble that I've come to like. I almost put on mufflers.

 

A flowmaster 40 series will give you a nice sound. Had them on my ranger, but I drove the ranger so often the noise actually got annoying. A 50 series would still give you a nice low rumble, and let everyone know you've still got something under the hood when you tromp on it. Personally, I've grown to like a nice low pulsation... like a pair of 40 series, with a crossover pipe somewhere in the exhaust. Smoooth. As much as I do enjoy hearing every single individual cyl. note.

I've seen mention of the corssover pipe before. What's the point of having one.

 

It smooth out the exhaust tone to a nice low rumble, rather than "pop! popopop! pop! pop!" And it actually allows either bank to scavenge off the other, for more low end torque. I shouldnt have used the term crossover. It works, but it's better described as an "H" or "X" pipe. Crossover usually refers to a pipe that actually leads from one manifold, over to the other. Basicly serves the same purpose though.

I have the 50 Flows hooked to my 390. Driving thru the parking garage at work, gauranteed to set off at least 6 car alarms in 3 floors. (And I'm trying to take it easy) One of these days, i'm going to light the tires up going up the ramp and see what happens. 33-1250's
make a good tire burn. The farther back the muff's are, the louder the exhaust.

 

Is that really true, the father back the muffler is the louder it is? I am going to redo my inline 6 exhaust and I want something that sounds good. its got the stock set up pretty much now A cherry bomb about under the cab start of the bed and it stops over the rear end. the pips are small i was thinking 2 21/2 inch pipes with another muffler..

 

I have a link to my pickup with open headers and with some mufflers that are made by Flowmaster and have the 40 series sound.

It is not overly loud with the 2bbl on it, once I get my 4bbl put on it will liven it up quite a bit. It is really mellow power tone while crusing and when you stand on it, it barks pretty good.
